looking for second name for a baby boy :0)

As some of you know we are having a bouncing baby boy! I thought of the name Rylie coz it's a combination of DH and my name.  does it sound like a feminine name to you?

maybe a second name or a first name will fix the problem.  something that goes well with rylie and would make it sound more like a boy's name. We were thinking of Jaden Rylie but by friend's baby boy is already Jaden.  Does not matter if it becomes a first name or a second name I just want to get some ideas on how to make his name more of a boy name. LOL... thanks ladies

Actually, Spider-man's name is Peter Parker ...but in the comics, during the Clone Saga, a clone was created of Spidey ...and he named himself Ben Reilly.  It's apparently a combination of his Aunt May's and Uncle Ben's names ...Reilly seems to be May's maiden name.  =D

He went around as Scarlet Spider for a while ...but he did become the *actual* Spider-man when Peter wanted to retire to help MJ, who was super-preggo with their first child.  I remember there being a big conflict with the characters in the comic over who was the actual clone too ...  Uhm ...yeah, anyway!!

Again, I know I'm a nerd ...lol ...but if you want to read more about Ben Reilly, here's the Wikipedia link:  http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Ben_Reilly  ((Don't forget to take out the spaces!))

Oooo ...I really liked Laura's idea of Riley Patrick ...that sounds so nice.  =D

Here's a few more to ponder:
Riley James
Riley Evan
Riley David (or vice versa)
Christopher Riley

It seems like the longer first names go well with the shorter middle name of Riley ...in my opinion anyway.  lol

I think Rylie Thomas sounds really good.  lol....  

Or any name, that is soley for boys could go as the middle and make it sound perfectly masculine!

Hmmm Benjamin Rylie and Jason Rylie does sound nice.  It makes it more musculine. Yes I am worried of the spelling that kids at school might tease him or something.  I know I am such a worry freak.  

I like the idea of Ben Reilly spiderman.. wow now that is something.  I didn't even realize that it's spidermans name.  :0) thanks

I like Riley for a girl OR a boy..

I think you just have to pick something you like to go with it that is strong..


Riley Broderick
Riley Patrick
Riley Joseph

I think whatever you pick should be AT LEAST 2 syllables.. I am weird about names.. =)

When I think of Reilly, I think of Ben Reilly (Spider-man reference ...yes, I'm a nerd lol =D).  Benjamin Reilly (or your spelling of Rylie) sounds nice to me.  =D  But you may have people like me who know the reference commenting on his webslinging abilities.  =D

I liked your idea of Jaden Rylie, but understand that your friend named her boy that.  

In my opinion, your spelling seems like it would fit the feminine version of Reilly more than the masculine.  But that's just me.  If you want to keep that spelling, I suggest finding something undeniably masculine as the first name ...like Benjamin, or Thomas, or Jason.

There are plenty of names that would go wonderfully with Rylie.  Also, if you're picky like me, your last name will have a lot to play in the full name (I don't like double sounds ...i.e. if your last name was Roberts ...Rylie Roberts ...too many R sounds).  There are exceptions tho that just sound 'right'.

So remember, if *you* and your hubby like the name you've picked, it doesn't matter what others think!!
