My husband’s favorite name is [name]Riley[/name]. I am having a hard time picking a strong name that goes with it. What is ur fav? Other suggestions?
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Parker[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Hudson[/name]
I like [name]Riley[/name] [name]Hudson[/name] a lot. I think it’s a strong name, and it flows very well.
I like [name]Riley[/name] [name]Cooper[/name] 
Second choice would be [name]Riley[/name] [name]Parker[/name]. Have you thought about switching [name]Riley[/name] to a mn? It’s showing up on a ton of girls, not sure if that bothers you.
truthfully that is why i am not in love with riley…because i liked it for a girls name ava riley. but it is the only name the hubby and i both like. so middle name is of up most importance!!
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Cooper[/name]!
I agree about maybe using it as a middle name. I think it is going to be like [name]Ashley[/name] was in our generation, starting out as a boy name, but ending up sounding girly.
But I know how tough it is to agree on a name. I would do a very classic masculine name (there will be baby girl Coopers, etc.),like
[name]Riley[/name] [name]David[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
Or maybe if you want something more now
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Hudson[/name] gets my vote from the ones on your list. Despite its usage for girls I think that [name]Riley[/name] is still very much usable for boys (much closer in usage than [name]Villette[/name]'s comparison name, [name]Ashley[/name]).
I vote for [name]Riley[/name] [name]Hudson[/name], but I like [name]Hudson[/name] [name]Riley[/name] better. =)
Ooooh I didn’t realize the usage was even, sorry! Maybe it’s more like [name]Taylor[/name] or [name]Jordan[/name]? If that is the case I agree it’s totally usable, and [name]Riley[/name] [name]Hudson[/name] is best from the list.
I guess it’s just my area…see I’ve ONLY met girl Rileys so that caused some confusion for me. I do know one little boy with the middle name [name]Riley[/name], a family name of his. Good luck!
I love [name]Riley[/name]. [name]Riley[/name] [name]Hudson[/name] gets my vote. very handsome!
I like [name]Riley[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Hudson[/name] [name]Riley[/name].

[name]Riley[/name] [name]Remington[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Chase[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Balthazar[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Hunter[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Paxton[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Hunter[/name]

On the 2009 national U.S. SSA list, there were roughly 3 girl Rileys for every 2 boy ones (not combining spellings). Although a bit more popular for girls, it’s nothing like [name]Ashley[/name].
This post makes me feel better about using it for a boy because it has been a major hesitation for me. My hubby loves it because to him it is a rough and tumble name belonging on the list with some of his other favs [name]Tyler[/name], [name]Dillion[/name], [name]Chase[/name], [name]Hunter[/name], etc.
