re: Ryan as a girls middle name.

Quoting LolaMcKitten:" Very, very true - it was on my list if my son had been a girl, mostly due to the fact that my ex is a dirty hippy and loved that song. "

I guess I'm a dirty hippy wannabe, since I wasn't exactly born in the 70's. Haha
I just love the band. Stevie Nicks is amazing.

Like I said, if ALL you see is negative, you must be looking for it. Add a little positivity to your life. Like I said, I know lots of nice ladies on here. You attract the kind of person you are. If you only look for negative in things that's all you'll find.

Well I definitely am not a negative person and normally do not say anything mean. End of story!

Oh. Hm, I've only met girls with that name. And I know quite a few of them. I don't think anyone would mistake them for a boy now.

Well paired weith the name Ryan I would. Ryan is such a boy name I would automatically assume it was a boy. There are lots of "girl" names that aren't really girl names.

Exactly. Uneducated people have "made them" girls names.

And? That doesn't change it's history or etymology.

I know plenty of highly educated people who name their kids bizarre and stupid things, that sounded a bit silly.

Thank you for proving my point  

What I mean is it doesn't really matter. Let it be. People will name their kids what ever they want.

You can be highly educated in things and still be uneducated in others. Going to college doesn't make you well versed in everything. Names are something not many people take the time to learn and educate themselves about.

There are a lot of names that sound bizarre that are real names used on the correct gender - taking a name from another culture and using it on whatever gender you please IS uneducated, not to mention culturally insensitive.
