Has anyone else every heard of Riley being spelled Rylii? My daugther's dad swears that he saw it in the baby name book but I just think he saw one too many i's... Anyways, for a girl I think it's cute but overall I still think Riley is more of a boy's name.

Yes! I've seen the name Rylii many times, usually for a girl. It's a spelling variant.

and i love it im 21 i was named after pat riley my name is soo unique and i really have heard it for girls and guys i love it for girls go figure

i love this name but the spelling isnt irish ? the irish surname is spelled reilly and is a common surname

My has this name but it is spelled differently. Her name is spelled Rhiley. I think it makes it more of a girl's name.

just so anyone who is searching for the origins of riley, it's an irish name, although there are different derivatives, like Reilly is the English version and so on.

Riley is actually a BOYS name, but in the past 5-6yrs has become popular also as a girls name. Either way it is a great name (my son's name!) but it did actually originate as a men's name and was just able to cross over into a cute, spunky little girls name!

I have never seen it spelled with 2 I's but we spell my 17 year old daughter's name Ryleigh. We get lots of compliments on the spelling because I think it looks more feminine. All three of my girls have boys names, I'm not sure why, we just liked them. It's a great name and my Ryleigh never seems offended when she meets a boy with the same name or a different spelling. She actually thinks it's pretty cool!

I spell my sons name Reiley. I thought it was cute and unique. I love the name and so do my friends and family. I also think its cute for a girl.
