So, most people play their cards pretty close to their chest when picking out a kid's name. Not us!  We have a name that we have come to love and are 99.9% sure that it is our son's first name.  
We love the name Riley!  It is an Irish name that means valiant and courageous.  
I liked it first a few months ago, and then a mentor, colleague, and dear friend of mine passed away.  His last name was Riley, and was a man that I want our son to be like.  He was committed to helping young men through coaching and education, two things that Holly and I are passionate about.
We love the name and don't really care about anyone's opinions of it unless they are good!!! (just joking, but seriously)  We are interested in a middle name.  The two we have it narrowed down to are:
Riley Joshua or Riley Jonathon.  
Holly likes Riley Joshua after his dad, and I like Riley Jonathon after his uncle. (who is my favorite guy in the world)
Let us know what you think!
