Boys name Riley... Middle name suggestions?

Question

We just found out we are preggy with a BOY!! Thinking it was a girl all this time we had it narrowed down to two girls names... Now we need help. I miscarried last May and was going to name the child Riley regardless of the sex after my grandmother who was such a part of my life. I had Riley Joseph picked out. But I and not sure i like it. Hubby is unsure as well. I have a 2 year old little guy named Brody William. I want it to go well with his name. I do love Riley Liam (a form of William which is also daddy's middle name). I think t would be cool naming both sons after their daddy as well. Is it? Or should I pick something totally different? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think you should give him at least one original name instead of all of his names being after someone else.

Answer 2

Riley Cameron

Riley Michael

Riley Christian

Riley Canaan

Riley Andrew

Answer 3

I like the name Riley Liam and I see nothing wrong with naming both sons after the father in some way afterall the name you picked out is different than the other son's.

My best friend has a Riley and his name is Riley James which does sound nice together.

I say if YOU love a name....go for it!

Answer 4

Riley Christopher

Answer 5

I think you should choose a different middle name cause I think it would be weird to name both of your son's after the father. Here are some middle name ideas.



Riley Robert

Riley Patrick (sounds pretty cool)

Riley Ian (sounds pretty cool)

Riley Landon

Riley Jacob (sounds pretty cool)

Riley Tate

Riley Aaron

Riley Jordan

Riley Everett

Riley Cooper (sounds pretty cool)

Riley Preston

Riley Jaden

Riley Steven

Riley Cameron

Riley Jay

Riley Maxwell

Answer 6

Riley Jackson

Answer 7

Oh we were thinking of naming Jackson Liam!! I love Riley Liam. So cool! I think you should do Riley Liam. I also agree with the male poster below me that Liam Riley is super cute too. I just love the name Liam a lot though, so either way is good.

Answer 8

Riley Liam is really nice for a boy.

Here are some other suggestions:

Riley Patrick.

Riley James.

Riley Andrew.

Riley Jackson.

Answer 9

Riley James, RJ

Riley Wyatt

Riley Nash

Answer 10

Riley Parker

Answer 11

In the end it is your choice what to name your children. I do not know any boys/guys named Riley however I do now 3 girls, so that makes me think it is more of a womens name then mans. Also, think of when the kid it growing up. Telling people he was named after his grandma, just sounds strange to me. Do what makes you happy. By the way I think Liam is a cool name.

Answer 12

To play with Brody's middle name:



Riley James

or Riley George.



William is a traditional name, so is James and George.

Congrats.

Answer 13

I like Riley Liam. I think that naming both your boys after their daddy, is very sweet.

My hubby and I have Riley Robert picked out for whenever we have a son. So there is another option for you.

All in all, it is up to you and your husband, and you two have to go with what you like.

Congratulations!

Answer 14

I like the name Riley. My friend had a baby on Nov. 5th and she named hers Rylee Kain. He's a beautiful child.



Although I'm not to sure I like the middle name Liam. I've never heard of it before. I do like the middle name Joseph, Kain, William, Andrew, Matthew, Ray, James, or even Anthony.

Answer 15

I like Riley Liam! Sounds great!

Answer 16

I really like Riley William...and Riley Liam is nice too..but is kinda weird b/c the "L" clash together...



Riley William is the perfect name i think!

Answer 17

Why dont you use both middle names: Riley Joseph Liam

Answer 18

I like Riley Eric, or Riley Evric to make it a bit more different

Answer 19

Riley Liam has too many L sounds in it.





My brother's name is Ryley Devin. D names seem to work well.



Riley Derek

Riley David

Riley Darren

etc.

Answer 20

Riley Mackenzie?

Answer 21

Riley Liam sounds great



another idea:



Briley Liam (so both of your sons will have a "B" name)

Answer 22

My belief is that they should have their own and be individuals, not feel like they are competing for their names. I always picked out 2 full names, completely different and when the baby was born I took one look at him/her and knew which one it should be....my sister did the same thing with my nephew (she did it based on hair color and skin tone, since we have both very light and mid tone complexions and dark and blonde hair in our family...if he was dark with dark hair his name would be Isaiah, if light and light hair it would be Nicholas....he is extremely light with dirty blonde/reddish hair and freckles...Nicholas it was and also fits well) and it has worked to their personalities also.



James, Alexander, Curtis, Evan, and Jay are a few of the ones I can see going with Riley (which I love :-) by the way!)

Answer 23

im naming my son riley paul but i like riley mathew or riley mason as well, riley liam is very cute too though, doesnt flow that well but it doesnt matter cuz im sure your not going to run around calling him riley liam all the time. good luck

Answer 24

Answer 25

Answer 26

Answer 27

i have a friend who's son is liam, also named after dad william. i like liam riley.

Answer 28

Maybe Riley Patrick. I'm sure he'd then be destined to be a great basketball player and coach someday.

Answer 29

riley liam is good, however i think liam as the first name would be very nice.



liam riley and then your last name.
