From your list, I like Alexa the best, followed by Layla. Jordan seems dated to me and I'd think it was a boy, and I dislike Rylie/Riley for either sex.
Alexa and Layla are okay, NMS but fine. I know Jordan has been unisex for a long time, but I think of it as a boy name. And Rylie is a double-whammy masculine-but-cutesy abomination.

Out of those, I like Alexa. Have you thought about just Lexa? I had a good friend w that name and I always thought it was pretty and more original. (Her full name was Alexandra and the nn was Lexa).
I agree w other posters that Jordan just sounds like a boy to me. I guess bc when I was growing up only boys were named Jordan - although I realize now that it is very much a girl name and I know several little girl Jordyns/Jordans (my cousin being one!).
She tried to DD her last post about the name Drea too. hmmm.
Maybe she's paranoid about friends/family finding out her name choice? I really can't think of a good reason to DD based on the responses she's gotten.
But it's common courtesy to mention ahead of time that you're going to be removing information in a post.
Im new to this forum, didn't know it mattered to anyone, no big deal
For your future reference Dirty Deleting AKA DD is a big no no. There are countless posts that have been copied and pasted by others because the OP got bent out of shape over the responses she was getting and it was suspected she might try to DD. If you don't have the guts to ask a question and leave it there, then you shouldn't be asking the question. The new forum updates prevent you from deleting your OP, edit all you want. It shows up that you changed what you wrote. because again if you don't want people to read what you wrote you shouldn't be asking a question. If you delete because you're trying to hide from people you know IRL then you should consider not posting personal information or not using your real name as your screen name. And I don't mean this as snarky. Just helpful information you should know to avoid any unwanted drama.
Re: .....
I prefer Layla from your list.
Riley is a GP name for me (spelled like this).
I've never been a fan of Alexa, but I don't think twice when I hear it.
Jordan: instantly think boy.

You should still indicate in your OP that you plan to delete later; that way people don't assume you got butthurt over the comments.
If you delete because you're trying to hide from people you know IRL then you should consider not posting personal information or not using your real name as your screen name.
