[Opinions] BA :)
My friend Nikolett & her husband Bartek had their 3rd baby about 4 days ago and his name is:RyanThey already have Tristan (7) and Hana (2). Niki is Hungarian and Bart is Polish. They live in Ireland.
Ryan was named by Tristan, because neither parent could really think of a name. "Find what you love, and let it kill you." Charles Bukowski

Tristan could have done a lot worse. It makes a very restrained, pleasant and classic sibset.

Ditto. Neither of them obviously pursued names from their heritage. Tristan & Hana are pretty, common names and Ryan fits just in.

I don't love it, but it fits well in Ireland - Tristan did a great job!

Generally, pretty uninteresting. Hana looks kind of interesting on the surface, but deep down it sounds just like plain old Hannah. Tristan sounds awful and feels trendy. Ryan is really common and ordinary.
I guess a seven-year-old could have done a lot worse.

Ryan is very bland and boring. Tristan and Hana are both nice and pair well together, but Ryan? Bleh.

Bad choice, Tristan.

.. I would never say it out loud to my friend, but I cringed when she said Tristan was choosing.

What bothers me is that they let him choose because they couldn't think of anything themselves. Really?!

That was the nature of my cringe. I will never have the amount of kids to use all the cool, interesting, beautiful etc names out there and they were tapped out after two.

Lol, if my son had his way then my daughters would be Beanie and Blue.

I don't mind siblings making suggestions. I don't mind parents using good suggestions from their kids, either. Ryan is dated where I am, and there are a bunch of Brians my age. There's nothing wrong with the name, just boring to me.

Haha, my exact thought!
