If someone told you their name was Ryan but Ryan spelt with a W how would it be spelt?

Because I had to write it down today but I was too embarrassed to ask him to clarify the spelling 🙈.

I agree with a pp that he likely said Euan meaning Ewan.

@PuzzleMonkeyMum

I’ve just had a look on Facebook and I can’t find anyone with that spelling. Basically I asked for a recommendation, the person recommended ‘Ryan with a W’ surname and said their business was on Facebook. I didn’t have any phone signal to search Facebook there and then and I was also very confused about the spelling so said I would have a look later! I thought it night be Rywn, maybe a Welsh spelling? But I’ve googled and that’s not a word or name!

Did they mean their surname begins with W... as in Ryan with a 'w' surname?

Is it spelt with any other letters as well or just the W?

Are you sure they weren't taking the mickey OP? "Dave with a y/Kathryn with an m etc".

I'm with @Candean - his name's Ryan and his surname starts with W. You've misunderstood.

Wian

Well you can spell Brian Bryan so why not Wryan?

Tons of Wryans from a quick FB search. Mostly in USA though. So apparently as a PP cited from a baby name site, it's a real thing.

No he 100% said that’s Ryan spelt with a W.

Wrynne? An Irish surname perhaps

I'd think they meant Rowan.

Wryan

Rwryan?

Rywan?

I bet this is a PITA for 'Wryan' as he'll have to spell his name all the time.

Unless they spelt it out I'd just go back to sleep.

Can you text and ask?

Wryan is a name!!

But if you Google Wryan, there are loads of examples. It’s a first name and a surname.

Rowan not Ryan maybe?

Can you message the person who recommended Wryan/Rywan/Ryawn to you and ask for the spelling?

I think W spells a vowel sound in Welsh, right? Is there a Welsh equivalent to Ryan or something---like, an original Welsh form that got Anglicised later on? (Rwryan or something.... grasping at straws here)...

Also suggesting Wrynne as a PP suggested - as it is a surname

Wryan

I can’t text, I haven’t got the persons number or I would.
Basically I had an appointment today for something to do with my degree. During the course of the 15 minute appointment, I was kind of making conversation as I was gathering my stuff and mentioned that I’m looking for someone to come and give me a quote for something but I’m struggling due to people not turning up. And he said oh I have just the person, he’s on Facebook if you want to look for him his name is Ryan Smith (not his surname) but Ryan is spelt with a W, he’ll give you a good price, we have Ryan to come and do all our stuff for us.

And I kind of hesitated and said oh I’ll have a look tonight, I haven’t got any signal and he laughed and said yeah this building is made out of lead, but be sure to look Ryan up on Facebook and tell him I recommend him.

@PuzzleMonkeyMum have you tried searching Wryan then, like most are suggesting?
