What's a good middle name for a girl Ryder?

crc6392 · January 2015

my fiancé and I are ttc. Even though we aren't pregnant yet we have already thought of names. We want the name to be Ryder, boy or girl. If it's a boy the middle name will be Calvin after my fiancé's grandfather. But we can't decide on a middle name for a girl. Some ideas we have had
Ryder Blair
Ryder Grace
Ryder Bell
Ryder Elizabeth

I love the name Ryder for a boy or girl. Because 'Ryder' could be considered unique I'd pair it with a simpler name, Ryder Bell sounds beautiful to me. GL

Nope.

No

No what?

Ryder is not a girls name.

It has meaning to it for us. I wasn't asking about the first name.i was asking if a middle name. And sorry. Wrong board. But thank you for those of you that had positive feedback:).

If it has meaning then at least make it a middle name. It's really terrible for a girl.

Just because it has meaning to you doesn't mean you should use it for your child's name. Sure, you could use it for a boy (my co-worker did just that 2 years ago, but it's also his wife's maiden name, so there's that), but as PP pointed out Ryder = Ride Her. You're willing to do that to your (not even conceived yet) daughter?
Also, you can't dictate what part of your post we choose to discuss. The fact that you like a bad name for a girl stands out way more than any possible middle name option you have.

That's unfortunate.

I vote for Ryder as a middle name and Rough as first name.

For some reason Ryder Lynn popped into my head. I like when girls have boyish names... kyle, Riley, tyler... it's kinda spunky! And kids will have nick names no matter their given name so don't let that hold you back. Good luck!

As someone with a somewhat difficult name myself, please listen to these ladies. The jokes will go on forever and you'll think back to this day.

My friends named their girl Ryder. I love that name. I love Ryder Bell!

I think it's cute! Ryder Grace sounds pretty

You think that naming a little girl "ride her" is cute? I find that offensive.

You can take this over to the Baby Names board all you want, but you'll still get the same responses. Ryder = Ride Her. And actually, I find it to be a terrible name for a boy as well....just NMS.
