Baby Girl Names - Riley and Addison- opinions welcome.

sbux · October 2009

I am now 34 weeks and we are still not sure on a girl name. Right now the Top 2 are Riley and Addison (Addy). I also have a DD named Sophie.

Opinions on these welcome!!

i love addison and it was in our top 3.

aelyngstad · October 2009

Riley is so cute! Addison is too popular for me.

Sunndraggon · October 2009

I love Riley....it is DD's middle name

qtpa2t · October 2009

Opinion (just mine): too trendy, too popular. But there are plenty of people naming their girls that, so it's not like they are unusual or bad.

WheelerToBe · October 2009

Riley is cute and Addison is so over used.

ReiszsPieces · October 2009

Addison beats Riley 10 to 1.

Wings40 · October 2009

I think Addison is way overused, at least for what I would want. Riley is growing in popularity but I love the name, adorable in my opnion.

jiffy-pop · October 2009

Sophie goes better with Addison.

TUGOsQueen · October 2009

Definitely Riley.

brooketarne · October 2009

I like Riley!! Addison is super popular!

bakedlaurabean · October 2009

I think Riley is adorable! It is growing in popularity, but Addison is just crazy popular right now.

MandyWes · October 2009

Both are cute names but super popular. I have 4 friends with little girls named Riley (aged newborn - 3) (4 different spellings too, lol) and 3 Addisons. It just depends on if you care how popular it is or not...

naflmj · October 2009

I really dont like Riley and Addison for girls if I had to pick, Id say Riley.

This. I know 3 Rileys and 3 Addisons under one year

Both are cute but very popular right now. I prefer Riley.

PunkyBooster · October 2009

Blah. I don't care for either. Riley is really overdone in the Boston area and Addison is not all that cute. Kind of the new Madison, IMO.

charlies-angel · October 2009

Both are way too popular for me. If I had to chose, I would go with Riley I guess.

soon2Bmrspower · October 2009

I like Riley way better than Addison. Riley (for a male) was a family name for us, so DS#2's middle name is Riley. Although I'm usually not a fan of boy names for girls, I think Riley is super cute either way.

cabo_kate · October 2009

In my opinion, both are overused and way too masculine next to the lovely and super-feminine Sophie. I don't like either. Maybe Adelaide or Adela if you like the nickname Addy?

If I heard siblings named Sophie and Riley, I'd assume Riley was a boy.

SteelCityBride · October 2009

I'm not wild about either name & they are both really popular right now (if you care about that). But I do love Addy as a nickname. If you like that nn, as pp suggested, you could find another given name to use it with such as Adelaide or Adelle.

PrincessLinLin · October 2009

I have a 4 year old cousin named Riley I think it is cute but a little too popular for my taste. I have never met any Addison's but I'm not a huge fan of the name. Good luck!

Mrsalt027 · October 2009

I prefer Addison over Riley

FutureMrs.Steen · October 2009

I don't like either name. Both are trendy and will sound dated. Even though Sophie is popular, it won't sound as dated as Addison or Riley. I don't think Sophie goes with either of those names. Just my opinion. I think Emma or Emily sound cute with Sophie.

mlf625 · October 2009

Ick. ?Too trendy and starting to sound tired. ?Agree with the pp that Addison = the new Madison. ?Riley just isn't a pretty name (imo) and I can't understand why it's so popular.

Sophie is a popular name as well, but it's also a nice classic name. ?I'd try to find something more classic for #2 as well and avoid such trendy names.?

mrsseguin · October 2009

I like Addison better.

Exactly this.

I prefer Addison over Riley and I like Addie w/ Sophie.

Lilleybug · October 2009

I love both...what about Riley Addison

if I had to choose one probably Addison

CaliforniaSunshine · October 2009

I guess I am partial to Riley. I named my daughter Riley Kate 11 years ago!

SusanluvCharles · October 2009

Riley is very popular now. I know 2 little girls names Riley.

Riley Nicole

Riley Renee

Ditto. I know a few Addison's

thauser62 · October 2009

I feel your pain. I like the more popular names too and am wrestling with how much I care whether they are popular. There are SO MANY girls names that if thats what you love- dont worry too much about it. I should take my own advice. That all being said-- I much prefer Addison to Riley. I agree with the person who said Riley sounds like a boys name-- particularly with a Sophie. Addy is so cute. Good luck!

Mrs.R.James · October 2009

i have to agree being a former daycare worker id go with Riley .... Addison is VERY popular...
