I like Rylee because it's different and I don't want it spelled RILEY.. its too common that way... Just want to know what you think of the name not how you think it should be spelled... Thanks!

Benjamin is great. We have three in my extended family, so that tells you how popular it is! Rylee looks pretty weird spelled that way. How about going a little more traditional (less weird for sure) and spell it Riley? I think that looks great together! As long as your last name doesn't start with an 'A', he'll be fine!

I'd spell the middle name Reilly (proper and strictly masculine, whereas "Rylee" and most other misspellings are generally considered attempted feminizations), or at the very least Riley (the most commonly-accepted Anglicization).
But all in all, Benjamin Reilly/Riley is a good name. Popular, but still classic. And a handsome choice, of course! I like it. ;)

Benjamin is a great name!
But why Rylee over Riley? IMHO, Benjamin Riley is a much stronger choice.

Benjamin is too common, and Rylee is still common (and mind you, pronounced the same...) whether you spell it Rylee or the RIGHT way....

This is a beautiful name with a wonderful-sounding ring to it! The only suggestion I would make is to alter the spelling of 'Rylee' to either 'Reilly' or 'Riley.' The spelling you've chosen for it sounds a touch on the feminine side. However, if you love it, then go for it! He's your baby and any name you choose for him will be wonderful.

I think Benjamin is a great name! I don't really like Rylee for a boy, I think it's more of a girls name. I have seen more girls named that than boy so I usually automaticaly think girl when see it, but it's your baby! :)

I like Benjamin as in Ben for short. My step daughter is called Reilly so I don't really like your spelling or the name for a boy to be honest.

I like the name especially how you spelled the name Rylee that way instead of Riley.

I like Benjamin... but then I got to Rylee and realized you can't spell.
