My husband is on deployment and we are talking about making another baby when he gets back, he's been emailing me names like crazy. What do you think of
Riley Alexandra

Is that a typo and supposed to be Alexandra?

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

yes.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

assuming its supposed to be alexandra, its nice. and the fact that you spelled riley in the most traditional, normal way possible, makes me want to just jump up and hug you.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I thought Reilly was the most traditional way, although I suppose I don't have anything much to base that on. Riley is nice and simple/straightforward

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i guess i think of reilly as more of a last name spelling. but that might just be because i know people with that last name, and it looks wierd to me as a first name. riley looks much more like a first name, to me.

[shyloh.livejournal.com]

I like Riley spelled Rhiley.

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

yeah typo my bad
but yeah i didnt wanna go for something like reilyelyeigh or something stupid.
no confusion on pronunciation.

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love it :)

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

thanks I think i do too!

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

My first thought was "Is that for a boy or a girl?", but that's because I'm still stuck thinking of Riley as a boys name. Also assuming that it's Alexandra, not Alexadra, I do sort of like it. At least you're not going with Ryeleighy or something similar.

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Some variations I dont mind (Ryley, Rilee) but some people seriously take it overboard. There's a Rhyleigh in my math class. That's seriously a bit much.

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

ive always thought of it as a girls name, weird.
and yeah, its a typo

[corielcries.livejournal.com]

I think Riley and every other variation is over done. Like Madison. Every other child you use to know would be Riley.

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

thats weird. I dont know a single one beside a distant cousin and ive never even met her so its def. not a name sake situation...at least we arent going wtih Emily :)

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

well, the reason you don't know them is because a lot of Riley's are like, 3 years old. When your (future) child hits kindergarten, you'll know loads.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Very cute
(if it is meant to be "Alexandra")

It's too common for my tastes, but it does go well with your son's name as a sibling name :)

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

how did you figure out my son's name?
yeah typo, my bad
I like your icon BTW, it just strikes me as super effing cute.

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

userinfo. :)

[alocin.livejournal.com]

I actually like Alexadra.. hehe it's cute. :)

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

:-P

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

I think I do too, thanks!

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

exactly
my sons name is kade michael

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

Kale? where did that come from... sorry but thats just a repulsive word, much less a name blegh

[anapology.livejournal.com]

hmmm... it's okay, Riley doesnt really fit in with my name list, it's a bit too trendy.
Maybe if i had two families... one with classic names (amelia etc..) and another one with more recent names Riley would be in there!
I like Alexandra. It sounds great with Riley.

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

i thought so :)

[maude.livejournal.com]

I don't really like Riley or Alexandra, but that's just personal preference. I do agree with above posters though, props on the spellings of both!

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

thanks

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I don't really like it, but if you like it thats what matters.

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

My friend just had a son and named him Riley.

But yeah, the name isn't too bad.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I like it too! Good luck and thank your husband for me - for serving our country.

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

thats so sweet, thank you.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Both names are lovely, but I'm not sure I like them as a combo.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Funny funny funny...I don't like either name but I like them as a combo! :)

I say TY to your husband too. When does he come home?

[partyofthree.livejournal.com]

Late september :( the day after my birthday

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

any chance you'd go for Alexandra Riley? Riley is terribly trendy and overused and IMO will not age very well at all. Alexandra is SO much classier, it's a really nice name.

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot!
