| You know when your schedule is so busy you dont even have time to stop and think? And you cant even remember what day it is? But all you know is you have to be somewhere NOW and you have to go to the store NOW and you have to drop off something NOW and you have to GO NOW AND DO NOW AND BE NOW! And OMG! I am in the fastlane, been stuck here for 3 days and I dont think I'm getting out for a couple more days. |

A Girl Named Ryan
|
|
|
I totally freaked out today when I was taking a look at site meter and saw that someone googled "a girl named Ryan" and got to me. Damn. Was it really that easy?
Then I think to myself... Self, you put that exact phrase in your 100 Things list. Yes, I did. Duh. But I got all excited (not a good excited) because I freaked at the thought, that was all someone had to type to find me.
So all the boyfriends I crushed back in the day... cause, oh there were so many. (Rolling eyes.) All the people that I pissed off. All the people I dont want to find me. Can. How many people out there, are girls with the name Ryan anyways?
I know that Ryan is becoming a more popular name for girls because of its "uniqueness"... there goes my eye rolling again... but you wont find many, if any, of us girls named Ryan entering into our 30's.
BUT THE POINT IS...
I clicked on the link just to see what was going on. And to my surprise the biggest thing I found on the phrase "a girl named Ryan" were people asking questions like:
"Do you think Ryan could be a girl name?"
"Is Ryan a girls name or a boys name?"
"Is the name Ryan a good girls name or will my child be teased?"
"What kind of middle name goes with Ryan for a girl?"
Questions of that nature always intrigue me. So as I am reading through comments and post all over the place... and more than once I was so angry and pissed off...
1. The name Ryan for a girl is awesome! Yeah, its MY name so maybe I am a little biased.
2. If there is ONE girl with the name Ryan, THEN ITS NOT A BOYS NAME. And no a girl named Ryan doesnt automatically make them gay, manly, mean or gruff. (I mean shit, I put makeup every once in a while and paint my fingernails. Hell, I even got a pedicure.)
3. Did I get picked on in school? Of course I did. Was it about my name? Nope. Not really. I was the one that was embarrassed about my name. Cause I thought people would make fun of me. No, what the kids in school really clung onto me for... my maiden name was a food group. THAT is why I got picked on in school. Well... and the glasses, the braces and being the tallest girl from 3rd until 7th grade. But you know what kids... EVERYONE gets PICKED ON!
4. Dont choose a name simply because it is "cute." Man that really irritates me. I see these posts where people are like... OMG, Ryan is so cute for a girl, but I think I need a really girlie middle name like Fu-fu-rella to go with it. Jesus. Pick the name because you LIKE it. Dont try and choose a middle name that justifies the first.
The biggest problem with my name being Ryan didnt come until I was out of school, graduated and in the real world. I have been hung up on before because a credit card company didnt think I was really, really Ryan. "I am sorry, I cant disclose any information to you without talking to Ryan. Have him call back and then set you up on the account to talk to us."
Bite me. I like my name.
I think I am done now. Thank you.
**Actually I am NOT done. For the mother effing record people... that little Ryan Starr girl from American Idol. SHE WAS NOT BORN WITH THE NAME RYAN. SHE CHANGED HER FIRST NAME TO RYAN. Okay, so technically she was born with her middle name being Ryan but her first name was TIFFANY. Tiffany Ryan Montgomery. No Starr in there either. She did all that when she was on American Idol.**
Ahem.

Haha, I liked the Fu-fu-rella bit too.
I like the name Ryan, for a girl or boy. I think it's one of those names that started as a boy's name but is now totally acceptable for girls, even though it's still rare for a girl. Kind of like Tyler or Morgan, those started as boy's names, I think, but now they're just as popular for girls. That's always happened though. Names like Leslie and Carol and Marion (John Wayne's real name! The manliest of men!) used to be boy's names, but now they're thought of as girl's names. So I think you're right -- just name your kid whatever you want, because perceptions change pretty easily.

| Okay, I have to admit, I think the name Ryan is pretty cute for a girl. I like cutsie names but I don't base the middle name off of how "cute" a name is. I agree if you like it use it. No one is going to agree with a name choice every time. You name your child what you want! That's why some kids get stuck with horrible first names.
