Do you think "Riley" is too popular?

We are considering naming baby girl Reilly (different spelling because it is a family name).  I am attached to it for personal reasons (it's my mom's maiden name), but it seems to be growing in popularity (Riley is). 

What do you think?  It may not matter because DH and I cannot agree on any names except this one, but I don't want her to have a super popular name.

  • It's #40 on the SSA's baby names list, so it's not super popular but certainly is registering.

    I know a lot of people where I am from named their daughters Riley, but overall I don't think it is super popular. Besides if you like I would use it regardless, it is popular for a reason.

    If it's sentimental, I would definitely go with it! 

    Random Tidbit: When I was in college, I had a class where the professor had us introduce ourselves and say who/what/where we got our names.  It definitely made me want to give my children meaningful names! Smile

  • It is my sisters cats name so it is all I can picture. But I always thought it was cute name and definitely not popular where I am from.
