Baby names

Ryder....? Opinions please!

I'm only 16 weeks with DC4, and I know that I'm getting ahead of myself, but really wanted to know what people's initial thoughts are on for a boy. I actually really like it, and DH says "it's not too bad" but still isn't completely convinced.

Also, what other names beginning with 'R' are people liking at the moment? (I already have a Raeanne, Reuben and a Roisin so running out of ideas!)

Thanks!

Not keen on Ryder I'm afraid. Too many potential horse-riding jokes, and I don't like surnames as first names.

How about

Rufus
Raphael
Reuben
Ralph
Ronan
Richard
Ryan

Does it have to begin with R?!

I like Roscoe!

Not a fan, I'm afraid. But then, it's not my baby

I hate it. And I say this having a really good friend with a lovely DS named Ryder. I love him to death, but can't stand the name.

I'm with Hedwig, I'm afraid. Rude jokes.
