My co-worker/good friend found out this afternoon that she and her husband will be welcoming their first child, a girl, into their family in September. Based on prior conversations I'm about 95% sure that the name will be Riley Ann. What do you Gus think?

It's not my style, personally, but I can't really put my finger on why. Maybe Riley seems overused, I'm not sure. Dad's name is Ryan, and my friends middle name is Ann...if that changes your opinion any.

Riley is a cute name but I prefer it for a boy.

Not a big fan because the first thing that popped into my head when I said Riley Ann was Raggedy Ann. I hope she doesn't grow up to be a ginger.

I thought of Raggedy Ann too. I'm not a fan of Riley on girls. I think it is too masculine (and yet cutesy?) and I don't think it ages well. On the other hand, Reilly on a boy I would have no problem with.

I like Riley ... for a boy. But I think it's yet another boys name that's gonna be turned into a girls name forever.

I used to be so-so about Riley and then I started watching The Client List and now I love it.

But I don't love the name Ann, especially for a middle name because everyone my mom's age has Ann as their middle name, heh.
