[Opinions] Ridley
What do you think of this name? Don't worry, it's a GP of mine along the lines of the Japanese names. That is, middle name material only.

Ridley makes me think of turtles, since there's a type of sea turtle by this name.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridley_sea_turtle

I know, that also what lured me to the name. The fact that someone had to have named the turtle after themself made me curious.

I'm quite fond of Ridley & I have a female Ridley a couple generations back in my family tree :)

Reminds me of Radley, as in Boo.
Reminds me of Ripley, as in Believe it of Not.
Neither of those is really bad or really good. Hmm. Yeah, I think I like it. Or don't mind it at least. Which gender were you thinking? I'd go boy.

It's a GP for me also, mn only, but the Metroid association makes me feel embarrassed to even use it as a mn. (don't get me wrong, I really like Metroid, but the fact I'd be naming a child after a skinny purple dragon-like creature seems funny)

I guess I'll be the first to say, I love it...... as a first OR middle name :)

Reminds me of the Alien movies. It would be okay as a middle name, I suppose.

Me too, although that is Ripley. I keep thinking I prefer Ripley to Ridley tbh.But there is the directory Ridley Scott of course.

Not a fan, as with most surnamey /-ey names, but I can tolerate it as a middle name.

I came across this name for the first time a few days ago when someone asked about Radley as a first name. I prefer Radley to Ridley for some reason. Ridley is okay, as a mn, but I can't say I feel strongly pro or against it.
