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

Could it be Rowan? But then why say with a ‘w’?! Is there another spelling?

eggandonion · 30/03/2021 20:27

Rowan With a w as opposed to Ronan?

Lilymossflower · 30/03/2021 20:31

Have you searched Smith driveways yourarea without the Ryan-with-a-W?

littledrummergirl · 30/03/2021 20:49

Ruwyn. Instagram brought up a hit for this version, I don't know if they are yours though.

SpiderinaWingMirror · 30/03/2021 20:56

Have you looked for Ryun? Maybe he meant u instead of w and Ryun is a name. I taught one.

If he uses his FB page for his business, then it's likely it's public so why not just tell us the surname so we can try and find him for you?

I think the W is an initial. Ryan W Surname

This is the funniest thread I've read in ages!

PurpleWh1teGreen · 30/03/2021 22:07

Google has found me a Ryan Walkinshaw from Halstead on next door.

Is it worth you posting your general area OP and we can try and find him fit for you?

LouiseTrees · 30/03/2021 22:12

@PuzzleMonkeyMum

I think the only way to solve this is to book an appointment with him, travel the 25 minutes to the uni campus (not forgetting calling Costa for the obligatory coffee for the journey) , pay the RIP OFF parking charges, wait around outside the locked doors (that can only be opened via my student card that I always seem to forget) till someone lets me in, find the right room and finally sit down with him again to question what the name is!!!
Or tell us the actual surname and we’ll track it down if it’s real?
Butwasitherdriveway · 30/03/2021 22:13

Omg see if this whole thing is Ryan W surname I will laugh so much . MN is gold at the minute

Famousinlove · 30/03/2021 22:15

RJnomore1 · 30/03/2021 22:29

Wryeann

MadeForThis · 30/03/2021 22:46

Ryuun

Double U

That's my bet 😂

Butwasitherdriveway · 30/03/2021 23:03

I would like to note that I claimed the first Ryuun

YouKnowItsTrue · 30/03/2021 23:06

Maybe it’s Brian with a W?

SummerHouse · 31/03/2021 09:58

Riuune, Wryun, where for art thou Ryan?

PuzzleMonkeyMum · 31/03/2021 13:37

Update

So I have an answer (of sorts!!) A man in my class (let’s call him Bill) mentioned on the course group chat this morning he had an appointment with the same advisor today so I asked him to ask him for me.

Anyway the name is Rowan!!! BUT he pronounces it Ryan?!?!? Bill told him that he’d spoken to me and I couldn’t find the recommendation on Facebook and that I thought it was misspelling it so he spelled it out. And Bill said ah so Rowan? And he said no it’s pronounced Ryan Confused.
