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

I really want to know how Ryan with a W spells his name now.

@Easterbunnyispackingherbasket

Wyan and they have a speech impediment? Sorry no help- but Only Fools and Horses came to mind with the Roy Orbison wannabe.. *having a very shitty day and have made myself laugh... Not laughing at those with a speech issue at all.
Yes thought this too 😂

Another vote for Ryan W. Is is something to do with knives?

picklemewalnuts · 30/03/2021 17:08

Rwyan.

It exists. It's Welsh. It's Ryan, with a W.

You aren't in Blackpool are you?

Whattheduck · 30/03/2021 17:16

@CongealedCrags

DD goes to school with Isabella Withawhy who, it turns out is actually just Ysabella Smith.

Perhaps she is related to Ryan Withadoubleyou.

For quite sometime I thought the lady I worked with remotely was Kate Withersea (she's actually Cate - with a 'C' - Jones Grin)Blush

@WiseOwlOne, it's not welsh or a name.

DS is at school with Aiden Withawhy - seems it's quite a big family tree.

The ridiculous thing is that DS, who is usually relatively bright, has Ayden on his phone contacts as "Aiden with a y". Unbelievable.

If ever there was a lesson on ‘unusual’ names and how it affects kids when they are adults, this is it.
Exactly this. This thread should be pinned at the top of the baby names board for everyone to read before picking a unique spelling name 😂
Champagneandmonstermunch · 30/03/2021 18:12

Rwan maybe?

PuzzleMonkeyMum · 30/03/2021 18:12

The name Wryan is really growing on me, my sister is pregnant and is struggling to come up with a boys name, maybe I’ll suggest it 🤣

And thanks for all the help, he doesn’t seem to exist so either he was winding me up (but I’m not sure why he would do that) or I’ve somehow totally got the wrong end of the stick (not sure how but can’t think of anything else!)
