Ryne?

Am I missing something? How does one even pronounce Ryne? And the Y makes it look very feminine to me, why would you do this to a boy?

Is it some sort of French/Irish/other nationality popular name that I am unaware of? Or may I mock it?

    I only know of Ryne Sandberg, the baseball player. He seemed to do alright with the name.

    Oh yay, I was hoping I'd have free range! Smile

    Especially when you have older kids with nice normal names like Angela and Sarah, WHY name your son Ryne?! Yuk. And I keep wanting to say Rine, like rind wihtout the D. Congrats, kid, you're the waxy, gross part of a citrus fruit.

    This. Maybe it's because I grew up in Illinois, so practically everyone it seems knows who Ryne Sandberg is, but it's also been a pretty common name here, I went to school with 3 Ryne's and now know a total of 5. 

    I like the name, not as popular as Ryan, but still not overly trendy either.

    Ryne - I would pronounce RIEN

    It looks made up or an attempt to feminize Ryan. Here are some other options...

    Ryne is a fairly popular name in France. I think it's also perfectly acceptable here. It's pronounce 'rien.' I think you're overreacting--they could have chosen so many names that are much, much worse.

    Is it a boys name or girls name?

    This is the spelling that pops into my head every time Maci on Teen Mom talks about her ex (Ryan + TN accent = Ryne).

    As a HUGE Ryne (Rhine) Sandberg fan, I have no problem with it.  I think his story is that he was named after another baseball player...

    Boys. It's origins are Irish though, I just looked it up. Last time we were in France, I met at least two Rynes, also several Rene's, there is a big trend there for short, almost abbreviated names.
