Help[Opinions] Middle name for Rylan??
I like Rylan for a girl, but I want a pretty, feminine middle name for it. Something simple, pretty, and easy to pronounce. Any ideas?

"What is happening to names these days?" you ask?
I think the fashion is to name your child something different, in the hope that it will help them to stand out from the crowd. The problem is, even if you ascribe to this theory (which I don't) if everyone is doing it, then the names are no longer unique. They all start to sound the same after a while, to me at least.
*Sigh*

What's wrong with using a relatively uncommon boy's name for a girl? Rylan is pretty and different but I don't like it because it would make my child stand out since that was never my intention. Nor would I ever name my child based on a percieved fashion trend. It could just as easily have been considered a girl's name since it's meaning comes from "rye land" in Old English. Do you dislike unisex names too or just the making of them?

I dislike original boy names on girls.
I don't like the idea of looking at a name and not knowing if it's a boy or girl. Kelly, Alex, Leslie, Bailey, Jordan, Jamie, Morgan, etc.
I don't want my daughter to be sent a draft notice or be labled "effeminate" on a high school aptitude test because they think she's a boy. It's not fair. I'd be too afraid my little Rylan would grow up to be a Victoria's Secret model or a ballerina or something really girly and be pulled down by her name. I mean, there's always the chance that Isabella will grow up to play pro-softball too, but I'd just rather take that chance. I mean, she is still a girl- at least let her name express it.
That's my opinion.

The odd thing to me though is that when I first heard the name Rylan I thought it was for a girl. It's not exactly a very masculine name. Typically when you hear the -lyn sound in a name you think it's a girl. And I doubt if my child would be sent a draft notice or be labeled anything without the people first checking her gender, or that having a non-run of the mill girl's name will put her into a depression or determine her career choice. If I spelled it Rylinn would that properly express her gender? Anyways, since it is different for a girl I was planning on using a somewhat traditional girl's name such as Catherine for a middle name, just to balance it out and prevent confusion on paper. If she hates Rylan she can always use her middle name, but she might just like it.
Oddly enough, I went to school with 2 girls named Ryan and Stevie who weren't confused or teased. In fact most people liked their names because they weren't the traditional choice when more than half of the other girls were Brittanys, Michelles, or Jessicas. What's wrong with changing the so called rules?
And softball is a girl's sport, isn't it? Or have they changed the rules on that?

Softball- It is a girl's sport, but it's not "girly". We call the girls who play a lot of softball or other ball related sports "tomboys", do we not?

~I don't hear a -lyn sound. If you say it correctly, it ends like "land" without the D. -lan(d) names are boyish to me.
And I doubt if my child would be sent a draft notice or be labeled anything without the people first checking her gender, or that having a non-run of the mill girl's name will put her into a depression or determine her career choice.
~Well, alright, but as friend of a female Jaden, I know for a fact that she had some time with it. She now goes by Jade to stop the confusion. She was sent a draft notice. Also, after reading about a female Christopher in one of my baby name books who was also sent a draft notice and labled "effeminate" on the apititude test, I decided I hated boy names on girls. Why does the world think that by putting a boy's name on a girl they are doing something "new" or making their child "speacial"?
If I spelled it Rylinn would that properly express her gender?
~No, then you would just make her hate the spelling too.

~Well, I didn't say name her Emily or Hannah. Just name her a girl's name; you can name her something uncommon and special without using a boy's name. What's wrong with a name that's unheard of (Fiora, Sairwen, Jola) or a word name (Winter, Harmony, Providence) or even some surnames as first(Kereden, Delmar, Merival)? Why not an occupation name (Harper, Piper, Sailor) or a foreign name (Esme, Eulalia, Noela) or a name from literature(Esmeralda, Estella, Arwen)?
