Riley Martha

I have a two year old daughter called Riley Martha. Any opinions??

Re: Riley Martha

Riley is not my style for a girl (although I like it for a boy), and Martha is not my style but nice for someone else though. Sorry!

Re: Riley Martha

i'd love it if the first name was an actual girls name...sorry

Re: Riley Martha

Riley Martha sounds very spunky and cheerful to me, and I appreciate the unexpected pairing of Martha with Riley. I hope you're enjoying your little girl! :-)

Take care!

Re: Riley Martha

I definitely agree with Jill. Great name pairing!

Re: Riley Martha

I too like the pairing of Martha with Riley--sort of unexpected and makes Martha a little fresher. Is Martha a family name or meant to honor someone? Although I do not usually prefer unisex names, I like the spunkiness of Riley and I can definitely see an adorable little pig-tailed girl answering to it!

Nope, I just loved the name Martha and I agree that Riley is very masculine (although i love it) and so I thried to pick a more feminine MN.

Re: Riley Martha

Riley is not my style, but as unisex names go I rather like it, and I think it will age well, whilst still being cute now.

I absolutely adore Martha, and agree with Jill that Riley Martha is the perfect combination of modern and spunky, with vintage and soft.

You have my belated congratulations!

Re: Riley Martha

I do actually like Riley for a girl... but I think it needs to be paired with something a little more down that genre. Riley speaks young & spunky while Martha seems more reserved & homely. But I could quite easily adapt!!
