Help me find a middle name for Ryan (girl)
Hi! Please help me find a middle name for Ryan. Our last name ends in N, so we're trying to avoid a middle name ending in N. Thanks for your help!

Ryan Elizabeth is my choice. It gives her a classic choice if she ends up not liking her first name.

Hi, I know your not asking for opinions on your LOs name. But have you ever thought about adding an extra N (Ryann) to the end so her name would look more like a girls name?
Here are a few middle names I really like:
Anabelle
Emily
Lilliana
Noelle
Nicole
Hope that helps!
The only problem is that if her name just appears as Ryan Lastname, it won't even matter.
That said, I agree it needs to be balanced with something feminine like Elizabeth, Sophia, Camille, Beatrice, Annabelle, etc.

7DPO Progesterone: low. CD3 BW: normal, HSG: clear
DX: severe MFI (low all 3) and low T. Undergoing replacement therapy.
Oy, please don't add an extra N. People wouldn't pronounce it Rye-an then it'd be Rye-Ann.
I actually like Ryan for a girl, it's one of my guilty pleasures. Ryan Elizabeth is really nice.
This. I went to school with a Ryann (pronounced Ryan). She usually had to tell teachers how to pronounce it on the first day because most people said Rye-ANN, but I'd rather have that then have people assume my daughter is a boy. I agree with PPs- a VERY feminine mn would balance it out!
I like Elizabeth.

My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
I think you could pick the girliest, most feminine middle name and people are still going to think she's a boy on paper.
I recently dealt with an HR rep named "Ryan" through email for several days before finally talking to her on the phone (after addressing her as Mr. So and So each time). When we spoke, I apologized, but she said she got it all the time and that she blames her mother. I was embarrassed for both of us...
I know a few Female Ryans irl and unlike what some posters on this board love to say they actually really like their name. They didn't get made fun of any more or any less than other kids for a million other reasons! Its an easy correction for a teacher to be told once that you are, in fact, a girl. I also don't think the Governement is going to start issuing arrest warrants anytime soon for female Ryans. There are also lots of people with very boring common traditional names that wish their names weren't so bland. To each their own... Grass is always greener.. blah blah blah!
To answer your original Question I agree with many other PP's that a feminie MN just flows nicely with it- Ryan Patricia, Ryan Alexandra, Ryan Paige, Ryan Grace
I don't think you understand what "defiantly" means.
I think Ryan is a very boring common traditional name. The only thing that makes this name "fresh" or "exciting" in this instance is that people generally expect a penis to accompany a Ryan.
My late brother was named Ryan, so my other brother named his daughter Caylee Ryan. IMO, this was an acceptible usage of male name on a female.
I would also like to incorporate Ryan into my child's name, but not a female first name.
