    I like Ryker,...not too big on two middle names, but my opinion on that is irrelavant, this is your baby.  So going with the two middle names, I like Ryker in front better.

    I completely understand, that's why I said my opinion is irrelavant.  I shouldn't have said anything, but I do like Ryker, I don't hear that a lot where we live.  :)

    Dexter wins by a million miles. I cannot get over the prison association with Ryker. Not a fan. At all.

    Yeah, Rikers Island. There are many name associations I can get over, but this is not one of them.

    I 100% agree with @Blindyswife.  I know someone with a son named Ryker (he's 1.something) and I have no clue where they got his name from, but all I think of is the prison.

    I would like Dexter if It was not for the show….. and he would likely end up in Rykers Island

    I'm not a fan of dexter, but I voted for it given my choices. Ryker is pretty bad.

    For me, Dexter is 100 miles better than Ryker. I can not get past the association of Riker Island and the y spelling just seems so made up. 

    Dexter is a sweet name with nn Dex. Also, I loved the showtime series Dexter. I don't think I could ever actually use it because I would always think of either the scientist child cartoon or the serial killer.

    Side note: I love the name Allen Michael as a stand alone name, calling him by both. Ever watch the old Guiding Light soap opera?
