Wdyt of the name Riley James?

My cousin has decided to use it on her baby that's due.. uh.. in a few months. Soon, though.

I hate it. I hate it SOBAD. I don't know why. Riley seems like a girls name to me, and James.. well. James is her father's middle name. But she already has a younger brother who has the middle name James.

It just.. ugh.

I agree. James is a filler name. It's a nice one, I love the name James, nice, classic, strong.

And Marie is totally a filler too. Just about every girl in my grade's middle name is "Marie" for no real reason (no grandparents, parents etc. with the name). It's actually really annoying.

I still don't think that a name that is classic, and fits with MANY different varieties of names classifies as 'filler' just because it's popular.

My grandmother's middle name is Marie, that is why I have it. My name is also a translation of Alice, which is her name. Most people don't know that.

But it's still offensive to hear 'YOUR NAME IS NOT EVEN A NAME. IT IS MERELY A PLACE FILLER!' even if it's not in an offensive tone.
