I know the name Riley is unisex but I'm curious if people find it more common for boys or girls.... TIA

Data says:

2013:
4,902 girls named Riley
2,531 boys named Riley
(not counting alternate spellings)
about 2:1 in favor of girls

2003:
4,242 girls named Riley
4,076 boys named Riley
(not counting alternate spellings)
about 1:1 even

1993:
552 girls named Riley
1,375 boys named Riley
(not counting alternate spellings)
about 2.5:1 in favor of boys

These ratios suggest that current usage of Riley is unisex, but has taken a sharp turn toward feminine in the past 10 years.

I wouldn't call it unisex, despite how it is being used right now.

I know one little girl Riley and 3 little boy Rileys.

If you had a third option for DOG, I would have selected that. I know 3 dogs named Riley and that is all I think of...but the dogs are a girl and 2 boys if that helps ;-)

This.

I'm on team dog. But I don't have strong feelings whether it's a boy dog or a girl dog.
