...... Hello all  

I am expecting our first little girl January 15th, 2013. We have a 2 year old son named Corey.

My husband really likes the name Ryan for a girl. I also think it's really cute. We're pretty much stuck on it. The ONLY thing I do not like is the spelling. I think we should feminize it.

The spelling I've come up with is Raiann. He much prefers Rian, but I think that looks too much like Rain? I just want to make sure it's pronounced like Ryan or perhaps like Rye (pronounced like the bread) combined with the name Ann. Thus, said like "Rye-Ann".

Suggestions/ comments are welcome for the spellings of the name Ryan for a girl  

Thanks!

My nieces name is Rhyen... :-)

I went to high school with a girl names Rian. However, my nephew is a Ryan Junior and they spell his name Rian. I think it can go either way, boy or girl.  

I'd just keep it Ryan

Eh. If I were to use Ryan for a girl, it would be Ryann. But that's because SO's name is Benn (yes, a double 'n') so I would use that to tie it in, plus I like it spelled that way for a girl.

Not everyone is into using masculine names for girls though.

I like ryan for a girl... My cousin has a daughter and her name is Ella Ryan.

I've seen it spelt Rianne, Ryann, and Ryanne...I think it looks to "masculine" when you spell it like the boys version.

I know a few girls named Rian. Raiann or however doesn't look like Ryan.

I have a 'boy' name. Most girls are Rylie. I like Riley though.

I love the name Ryan for a girl. And I would keep it spelled Ryan!

I went t5o school with a few girls named ryan, and one was rian, my friends sister is Ryan.

Your suggestion is awful lol...I've know quite a few girl Ryan's..most spelt Ryan and one spelled rian and another spelled rianne but i think gets was pronounced rye anne

I like ryan for a girl it's cute. U could use a feminine middle name ?

I think Ryan is cute for a girl. In fact we almsot name one of my daughters Ryan. I would leave it as is imo. I think when you start changing that name up it will look more like the name should be pronounce Re-ann or Rain.

I dislike names like that on a girl but if you're going to, please stick to Ryann. Those other spellings look ridiculous.
