Comment left Apr 02, 2008: "My sons name is Riley Philip. To me Riley sounds like a boys name. I never for a split second prior to the birth of my son thought it was a girls name. I dont really understand the girl name trend , i think things get twisted out of their origin. But to each their own." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 18, 2007: "I named my first son Riley. I think it's one of those names that could fit a girl or boy. I have always liked those type of names. example: My first husband was Shannon, second husband Cory and my second son is Aaron. Cory and Aaron are spelled in a male friendly way but all three are names that could be for male or female. I love the name Riley for a boy. I think it sounds really masculine for him and he will like it when he is grown. anyways go.........Riley......love you son..." (Report as inappropriate)
