the meaning of riley is valient warrior. I think that if you have a girl than you should name her riley because its like the coolest name ever. Or the names maryanne or miranda are very good too.

Riley is also a spelling variation of the Irish surname Reilly, which goes back to Gaelic Raghallach or Rogallach, the name of a king of Connacht who died in 648. The original meaning of that seems to be unknown, but I would bet that "valiant warrior" is someone's guess as to the original meaning of the Irish name.
No...
Riley just means "rye clearing" in Old English, nothing more.
This is not a board for voicing opinions on the aesthestics of names, btw. (Though I do agree with your assessment of the name Miranda. ;-)) Go next door for that.
