Middle name for Ryan?
16
Tue, 01-30-2007 - 2:17pm

Hi! I am down to 6 weeks left and still haven't settled on a name. So I thought I'd break down and ask for some help.

I think we have almost completely decided on Ryan as a first name. His sisters are Savanna, Alyssa, and his brother is Brendan. Any suggestions, advice for a middle name? I seem to like names that end in the 'n' sound. (example Ryan, Nathan, Evan), but I don't think they sound well together as first and middle name.

Thanks for any help!

I generally don't reply at all but I had to reply to you. My youngest son who turned 3 in November is Ryan Casey.

I am due with our third child in June. Another boy and we are having a really hard time coming up with a name for him.

Good luck.

Hello and congrats on expecting!

To go with Ryan:

Since you like Evan, you might like Everett. Ryan Everett has great appeal.

Others that would seem to be your style, based on your kids' names:

Ryan Beckett
Ryan Bennett
Ryan Asher- "happy, blessed"
Ryan Colby
Ryan Lucas
Ryan Matthew- "gift from God"
Ryan Tucker
Ryan Barrett "strong as a bear"
Ryan Calder
Ryan Patrick "noble"
Ryan Trevor

In general, it sounds better to vary the no. of syllables, although the above sound pretty good, and would really depend on your ln. The following may not be as much your style, but they flow very well-

Ryan Joshua
Ryan Oliver
Ryan Christopher
Ryan Alexander
Ryan Timothy

Of course, your ln would make all the difference for me. I also prefer family mn, or mn of significant meaning, but only if the other children also have family names.

Let us know what you decide, Ginger

Hmm, none that I really love.

The baby is due on my Grandma's 100th birthday! (Isn't that the coolest!) Anyway, if it was a girl I would have probably used her name as a middle name. But since it's a boy, I was trying to think of someway to incorporate her name as the middle name. Her name is Lucy. Ryan Luke, Ryan Lucas, we don't like those. She is also Italian, so I thought of using maybe an italian form of Lucy (if there is such a thing LOL).

Can you tell me how to pronounce Luciano? That's the name I thought of last night, but I think I was pronouncing it wrong.
