Comment left Oct 09, 2009: "We named our younger son Ryan. He is exactly what I think of when I think of any boy named Ryan -- handsome, funny, all around good looks. He is a sweetheart and his name fits him perfectly. He was meant to be called Ryan." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 05, 2009: "It is my favorite boy name of all time! So of course my first son is Ryan. He was born in 1983, but I had loved the name since about 1970, when I taught a Ryan in my second grade class. I kept it in mind, knowing that if I could convince my husband (I wasn't even married then and hadn't even met my future husband!) I would have a son named Ryan. My only regret is that it became SO popular right around the time we used it. But I'll always love the name, and my son likes it too." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jan 30, 2009: "My name is Ryan and in college I was going to live with my 2 other friends named Ryan and Ryan. We decided against it because it would be hard when people called us on the phone. I was born in 1971 and I know a lot of people with that name born in that year." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Nov 22, 2008: "I know a guy named Ryan and he's what I see when I think of all Ryan's: clean cut, polite, funny, all-around nice guy, well adjusted. It's a solid name." (Report as inappropriate)

Ry Ry is the natural nickname, it seems. we hope to have a girl next and name her Renee. her nickname would be Nay Nay :-)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Dec 29, 2007: "Our son's name is Ryan and we love it. He was born in 2005 and we still haven't met any other Ryans his age. His nick name is Ry Ry which is so cute but I'm sure he'll outgrow it ;-)" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Dec 26, 2007: "My name is Ryan, and people always pronounce it right, but they sometimes spell it R-A-Y-N and R-I-A-N by miskate. Some people also think that when I say that my name is "Ryan" that I am saying "Brian/Bryan"" (Report as inappropriate)
