HelpSo Riley 's real name is ....
What is better Rileyon or Rileon? he is a male in one of my stories
My Brother suggested Riloff, or Rilof,
He has brown hair, and green eyes, has a green jacket, and with a blue and pink skull shirt, and jeans, and he has pink shoes,Pink shoes is his trademark
he is from Amarino,on the planet Niff, you probably already knew that from Face book,
Naming brothers and sisters, kind of like a family tree for him, and the rest of characters,
also need a name for his father,
i tend to go with unusual name
I know the trend is girls name have boys, but i did not intend for him to a unisex name, or It used to be male name kind of name, I started the story long time ago, and did not realize it was getting popular for girls,
Have you ever run across this issue in writing? Ps Does this belong on the writing room, I forget

I say stick with Riley. It comes off as a boyish name to me.

I think Riley is just fine, it’s only popular for girls in the US, it’s not a particularly feminine name.
Rileon and Rilof both sound and look really silly. I wouldn’t be able to take them seriously if they were the name of a character in a book I read.

Rileon, Rilof, Rilos? Rylan? Rymus?
Riley is fine though, it's not girly at all.

I prefer Rileon out of the first two, and Rilof from the second two. I'm wild about neither.
Do you really need to change the name? Even if the name became popular after you started writing, I'd say it's okay to keep it.
Other suggestions;
Rilen
Rile
Rilert

Hmm not sure, I usually called him Riley or Riles in the story play, So maybe could keep it, but I think Rileon makes name sound more male-ish, on the fence, i haven't decided, i just wanted an opinion, thanks for responding

Maybe Riles with nn Riley? It satisfies your preference for unusual names without making anything too weird of it.
Rileon looks best to me from your options, but if I'd read a book with a character called Rileon also called Riley AND Riles, it'd annoy me and I'd assume the author just couldn't make up their mind. Rileon with just nn Riley is fine though.
