lol yeah I feel like it never has been a super popular name ! but now all of a sudden it is getting more common but I didn't notice it until after I named my son lol. I think its an awesome name for a boy or girl, I just want my son to be the only Riley in his classes when he's older ! haha @mommypoppins

I'm 23 years old and my name is Riley 😂 it definitely wasn't popular when I was a kid. I used to get so upset when I couldn't find my name on key chains or ornaments. Lmao. I've noticed it blown up within the past few years. Apparently it ranks #20 in top #100 baby names nowadays

yeah but that's a different generation. I am only paying attention to people that are the same age as my son , the kids he will be going to school with one day @quansmommyy

That name is kind of common . I went to grade school with quite a few people named that boys and girls

I'm so overprotective of the name Eli. I really do understand. 😂

lol yeah I totally get it, that's how I am, I named my daughter Chloe, back in 07 and so far in school she's only the 2nd Chloe, & that girl isn't in her grade. I felt so accomplished, then same with my boys, Michael and Myles they have yet to share a name, but I have a feeling Mason won't be so lucky. My name is Mara, so I never had that problem. Lol

lol thank you ! I'm glad I'm not the only one. we really liked Noah at first but it was the number 1 name on every popular name list we looked at for the past couple years so we decided to find a less common name and we both fell in love with Riley. and now that he's born he totally looks like a Riley lol like I couldn't imagine calling him any other name. I just don't want him to have a bunch of kids in his class with the same name when he's in school. I hated that growing up. I had 2 other samanthas in my class so we all fought over who was called Sam Sammy or Samantha lol @soontobemomof4

I'm the same way! I know what you mean! I've wanted to use the name Mason since my oldest son who was born in 2009, BUT it was so popular we didn't use it, same with my second son born in 11, still too popular, now here we are, my 3rd son, his name is Mason!🙌🏻 woohoo! Finally! But now I'm starting to see it again! 😞 it's whatever though, a name is name. Lol

yeah I know, I just wanted his name to be unique I guess. oh well lol @rylees_mommy

That is usually what happens you don't pay attention to it until , same thing I haven't noticed the name until I named her but oh well it's just a name ..

yeah that's true. its just like my whole pregnancy we didn't announce it bc we wanted to wait and see if we for sure were naming him that and I didn't see anyone else show interest in it and now all of a sudden I see it everywhere lol @cookiemonster1216

Riley is also the little girls name in Inside Out, so that might have brought some attention to the name.
