Reilly for a boy?

edited June 2011 in Baby names
I need name opinions! I have always loved the name Reilly for a boy. I'm just a little hesitant because Riley has become a more popular girls name in the past few years. Both of our boys have Irish names... Aiden and Ciaran (pronounced Keer-in) and we really want an Irish name for this little guy, too. I also really like Asher, but it doesn't sound as nice with our Irish last name.

Opinions??? Suggestions?? Thanks so much!
