User Comments about the name Reilly
Comment left Oct 04, 2009: "Our 3 year old son's name is Reilly. My husband insisted on the name, so I chose the spelling, to be sure people would know he is a boy. It also beckons back to my Irish roots. We love the name and wouldn't change his name for anything." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 19, 2009: "We have a son, Reiley - I am both English and Irish - so it felt fitting to use both versions... sort of a mash of the two most common sir names (this way he can always find his coat in the cloak room!). Also my husband was named after Eric Clapton so we thought it would be fun to also name our first son after a guitar great so we tipped our hats to the incomparable- Riley (BB) King. He is the only REILEY we know - but we do know a couple Riley girls. The most annoying part of him being named Reiley is all of people feeling compelled to tell me about their neighbors dog named Reilly- there seems to be a lot of dogs named Reilly!"

Yes, people always spell it incorrectly but we are soon to advise the the correct way of spelling it. It's sooooooo cool :-)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 08, 2009: "My maiden name is Reilly. I have found that people take the "easy way out" and spell it Riley all the time. My child will have the name Reilly as either first or middle name. No easy way outs anymore." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 25, 2007: "My son is named Reilly. People always spell it wrong. We were just reading this page. He was born in 1999, when the spelling "Riley" was becoming popular for girls. Since he was born on St. Patrick's Day, we wanted to pay homage to the Irish, so we made sure to spell it "Reilly" which of Irish roots. "Riley" is supposedly from Old English decent."

Comment left Sep 18, 2007: "I was going to call my baby boy riley but didnt know that the correct way how it could be spelt was reilly, makes sense really when you prenounce it.. that it should be double "l" ....at least now it can be spelt correctly on his birth crtificate,haha" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 14, 2007: "We named our son Reilly, I got it from Reilly's Luck by Louis L Amour. The name means valiant and warlike, since so many parents are giving girls names for boys we tried very hard to name our three boys names that we thought wouldn't lend themselves to being taken over by the girls. Valiant and warlike for a girl, come on!" (Report as inappropriate)
