KEVIN RILEY: what the hell does that have to do with me????

Kevin
Irish and English: Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Caoimhín, originally a byname representing a diminutive of Gaelic caomh comely, beloved. This was the name of a 7th-century saint who is one of the patrons of Dublin. Variant: Kevan (from Gaelic Caoimheán, with a different diminutive suffix)

Riley
Irish: variant spelling of Reilly.
English: habitational name from Ryley in Lancashire, so named from Old English ryge ‘rye’ + leah ‘wood’, ‘clearing’. There is a Riley with the same meaning in Devon, but it does not seem to have contributed to the surname, which is more common in northern England.

I have absolutely no idea of how this relates to me. IM NOT EVEN IRISH. the only thing the makes any sense in my name is that it means to be beloved by people. i am no where near a saint, even though i am named after one. This is quite a difficult task, having to explain the unexplainable. i guess if i could say anything about my name it would be about my last name. it is unique because not many african americans are named RILEY. I love that because it is not the ordinary black last name, like WILLAMS ROBERTSON OR DAVIS. i've also obtained a reputation with my name. it's not a bad reputation, so i guess that's good. all thats left for me to say is that i love the name KEVIN RILEY and wouldn't want to change it for anything.
