Help with his name.

I was so sure we were set on Riley Dean for our 3rd son's name. Dean for the middle is set for sure. But everyone seems to have an opinion on how girly Riley seems. But, to be honest.. I don't know any Riley's personally that are girls. Just guys. At least around here. I understand that it is OUR child. It's just getting annoying how people say it sounds girly. And my second son was supposed to be Brantley but came home as Logan. Everyone said Brantley sounded girly. I'm going crazy over here. I don't want to have something too girly for his name. I've even tried to spell it Ryley. Just unsure. So I was going to ask about this name and see what others thought.

Ryley Dean

Or Rylan Dean


Which sounds and looks more masculine to you?

I'm really living Rylan. Looks similar to ryan. Sounds and looks strong.

I love the name Riley and up until I found out we are having a boy we were going to do Riley for a boy or girl then everyone and I mean every single person I talked to (even my teenage nephews) said it was too girly... now we can't choose between brayden David and parker james

I know of 2 guys named Riley and 1 girl named Righlei. I think Riley is a wonderful name for a boy. It's your baby give him the name you want and forget what everyone else says!

We already have two boys named after him. So this one is all new to name. The middle name is after my grandmother. I just don't know which I prefer right now.

Maybe the ey makes it sound girls what's his dad's name that might be better

[dannyzgirl]

What about the spelling?
Riley or Ryley

I really like the name Riley (Ryley)! That definitely would have been put on the table for my son, but that's my guy cousin's name so I stayed away from it. Oh, and Dean is my brother's first name, so hey you won brownie points all the way around for me! :) Good luck and best wishes!

Ryley Dean is cute. I like it better than Rylan, just my opinion. I like names that can go either way. My son's name will be Dayton, but if it was a girl the name still would've been Dayton.

Name your baby what you want it to be. Don't let anyone talk you out of what you really want:) I was going to name my baby Eamon, but everyone hated it. Who cares? It's your baby. Turns out I'm having a girl lol so I changed the name to Lahna.
