I think it's awful, sorry.
Besides the Ripley's Believe it or Not association, I just think "rip" is such an unpleasant sound in a name. (It kind of reminds me of slang for farts too -- he just "ripped" one.)
My old hairdresser named her daughter this, and I must say it's probably the only time I'd ever been left speechless by a name. Usually when I don't like one I can just mumble that's cute, or pretty or whatever, even if I don't mean it. But with Ripley, I literally couldn't get words out. It's probably the most unfeminine sounding name I can think of.
I think it's a little better on a boy, but I still think there are 1000s of better names out there.

Not to mention...
It also reminds me of ripply, an adjective that I'm sure no one wants to be described with.
