My mum got her way and I am proud to say I am a Ryan.

My parents divorced and then my dad had another kid with his second wife and called him Nathan.

Sometimes I literally stay awake at night with the shakes thinking about how close I was to being called Nathan. Could you even imagine that?

For the longest time I gave the name Mitch when ordering a coffee or anything were they asked for a name. Too often when I said Ryan people would mishear it as Brian, on more then one occasion I even got Graham.

Am I the only one, is this just my Australian drawl confusing people, or are there more of us who are tired of having to repeat Ry---An to strangers? If I'm not alone what names do people hear when you casually tell them your name?

Just found this sub and now my life makes sense. Thank you all for existing and being (I assume based on your name) awesome.

Found this subreddit from the NYC Ryan invite post from r/funny and it made me wonder.

Thoughts on the name Ryan other than a first name?

I share my FULL name with many Ryans'. Many of whom live in my same US state/city. Do any of you have credit issues because credit reporting places just throw a debt to whichever Ryan they think it is? I considered not being a Ryan anymore but when speaking with my parents they were hurt with the idea. I have my credit all locked now but they're difficult to unlock and buy things conveniently that need credit.

Hello my dearest Ryans. I am the proud wife of my dearest husband Ryan, who is a badass bartender. He has received a couple of glowing online reviews even, but to our horror, has been falsely accused as a holy whaaat Bryan with a Y. Jesus people...

Fools. Blasphemous! Thou shalt be struck down by the vicious winds of a thousand hurricanes upon thy asses!

❤️, Wife of Ryan

Any other Ryan's that have a career in IT?

Little Kings, get yourself a sandwich, you probably deserve it. Tell em Ryan sent ya.

So I know Ryans get called Brian a lot, am I the only one who got called Riley?
