Comment left Jan 25, 2007: "I was named Ryan Patrick way back in 1968 after my dad who is Patrick Ryan after his Uncle Ryan. I love the name now but wasn't fond of it as a child. I was constantly called Brian and was teased a bit due to the soap opera Ryan's Hope. I remember in 4th or 5th grade trying to convince friends to call me Patrick. Thank goodness that didn't stick."

Comment left Oct 23, 2006: "I think it is interesting that the highest peak of popularity is in the 1980's. I was born in 1979 and I was actually named after Nolan Ryan and I wonder if that is why the name was so popular in the 80's." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 29, 2006: "Our 20 month old son's name is Ryan. My maiden name is Bryant and Bryant sounded too macho for a boys first name. Sounds like a football player. Smile. So we removed the "b" and the "t" and became Ryan. We think it is a great name for a boy. We have had comments from people that it is a good name. Congrats for the people who are thinking about Ryan for their little one." (Report as inappropriate)
