The name Riley for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Riley (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1997 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Riley was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Riley's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.

The record for Riley for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Riley appears in 28 of them, from 1997 to 2025, with 2,873 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2012, when the table records 418 babies given the name, at rank 4 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1997 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Riley for boys are simply not listed. The publisher suppresses names with a total count of 2 or less in Scotland, so no figure here stands below 3.
