So i like these two names but they are too similar to both use.

So what do you think of them? Which is better? Feel free to comment on both names if you like/don't like both too.


Ryan (for a boy)

Riley (for a girl)


thanks

I feel like they're a little too similar for siblings. You'd probably ending up calling them both Ry for short. I personally love the name Ryan. Riley... not so much.

Tough call. I usually don't like unisex names, but Riley on a girl just seems pretty cute to me. I'd probably like Ryan better if I didn't remember this really annoying, dirty kid from high school by that name. So I'm gonna go with Riley.

I like Riley for a girl, but I love Ryan for a boy. So I'd keep Ryan :)
Riley is somewhat trendy and also I'm not a fan of unisex names

Both really rather trendy and overdone.

I prefer Riley, but it's a guilty pleasure kind of name for me..
unisex and trendy.. not my kind of name.

I like Reilly for a girl, but any other spelling grates, so I have to pick Ryan on this one.

Riley for sure. i have a terribly horrible association with ryan...

Ryan, hands down. I know too many dogs with Riley vairiants.

I love Riley for a girl (but spelled Rylie). I like Ryan a lot too, but I like Rylie better. And I like Ryan on a girl better than on a boy :).

[heather80.livejournal.com]

Ryan is a unisex name, but not as widely used for a girl as Riley is for a boy.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

exactly my point!

i like both, but i like Riley better. :)

my son is Ryan, i love the name Riley, but now cannot use it because i definitely feel they are way too similiar to use both... plus, one of my son's nicknames is Rylee.

they seem trendy to me but not bad in general. i dont think they're too similar to use on female + male siblings.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Ryan for a boy. Riley is way too trendy.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I was going to say the exact same thing.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I like Riley! I know it's trendy, but I think it's really pretty.
I don't like the name Ryan, but I like Brian a lot, and Brian and Riley aren't too similar.

Honestly..
I like Riley for a boy and Ryan for a girl. lol. But.. I could live with both on either.

I LOVE them both !

they are on my fave-names-list !!

but you are right they are way too similar for siblings..

if I have to choose one out of these two I´d take ryan...
but it´s really hard !

Ryan's a classic.

Riley is trendy, cutesy, ambiguously gendered, has eight million spellings, and hard to take seriously.

No contest.

I like Riley. My cousin named her girl that but she spells it Ryleigh.
