I've been crushing on Riley lately. I really like on both boys and girls. I think I slightly prefer it on boys.

What is everyone's take on Riley? What gender do you prefer it on? Combo ideas for either gender? 

 

Thanks!!

When I was younger I loved Riley for a girl. I still like the name but not so much on a girl but I have a hard time picturing it on a boy. Reilly would be how I would spell it for a son.

I love the name Riley! I prefer it on a girl spelled Rylie, but it is a nice solid boys name as well. For a boy I would spell it Riley.

A tiny girl at my church is named Riley, but I prefer it on a boy... it is adorable! I can totally see a little blonde boy with longer "beach" hair, if you know what I mean, named Riley.

I know both a male and a female Riley, so it's hard for me to pick a gender as well. I think it's cute and would probably like it on someone else's child, but I wouldn't use it myself. Because it's unisex, I would pick either a very obviously feminine or very obviously masculine middle.

When I was younger I used to like Riley on a girl, but now I strongly prefer it on a boy. It's nice on a girl every once in awhile, though. I think Riley's a nice name.

I love Riley on a boy, but don't think I'd use it in real life because it is so popular, plus I just love more names more than Riley. Mike loves it on a girl, a la Rylie. I'm not a fan of it on a girl though :(
