Help[Opinions] Re: Ryleigh
in reply to a message by LMS (nsi)
I don't like Ryleigh at all, but I do think it makes it more feminine. And I'm not a fan of Kelly in the first place, but if I were to mutilate its spelling, I'd go with Calleigh.
If I were going to use Riley, I'd go with either Reilly or Riley, probably the former. I'd most likely only use it as a middle name, anyway, and as honouring. It's my grandmother's maiden name, but there are plenty of other ways I could honour her without using that.

I honestly think that surnames, while they may sound nice, should be used only when the name has a relation to you. If you name your son Hemingway because you love the author: cool! If you name your daughter Katherine Collins Lastname because Collins is a family name: cool! But I dislike people naming thier children surnames for the way they sound. Maybe I'm a purist or just weird but I think it kind of de-values the name itself. Family names are things that are an honor to have. It's a piece of history and heritage that you are given and to just pick a ramdom surname for it's great sound and give it to your child cheapens it IMHO. So for you, Glass Angel, I think that's great!
