How popular is Riley for a boy?!

Name gurus, help! I love [name_u]Riley[/name_u]… but how popular is it?

Nationally for boys it is #255, but #22 for girls. That means quite a few kids answer to it. The ssa.gov website can break down top names by state, which can vary greatly from the national numbers. You might want to consider how many babies born were named [name_u]Riley[/name_u] vs the total babies born for your state to get a feel of how popular it is. The percentage of kids named an objectively popular name may surprise you.
