I think you'd have a lot of misspelling due to Rylan Clark-Neal. And personally I prefer the Rylan spelling as it seems more natural to me. Nice name though.

Rex?

Actually how about Rudy/Rudi? Met a little boy with this name the other day - so cool.

Leopardprintboots · 26/11/2019 10:16

Rylan is nice

Or Ralph or Reece?

camelandsushi · 26/11/2019 10:22

Riley?

Hi there!
I definitely prefer Rylan, I think its not over common but a great name for any age. Im all for names that children wont have to constantly spell our for people their whole lives.

Good luck and congratulations!!!

Roan/Rowan

I prefer Rylan for the spelling too. I’ve always liked Rory. Also I think Richard is underused, it’s a good solid name although might not be modern enough.

user1493494961 · 26/11/2019 11:15

Rory is a nice name, as is Rowan and Rudi. Rylan, however you spell it, is awful.

Paddington68 · 26/11/2019 11:20

Rowan is lovely.
Rufus, Riley, Rory, Russell

I love Remy but DH doesn't agree (yet. Give me 5 months.)

Rory.

Rhylen is particularly bad.

MrsFoxPlus4Again · 26/11/2019 16:33

Rylan is a better but still not great. What about Remy, Rome, Roman. All names I considered.

Leopardprintboots · 26/11/2019 16:39

I actually quite like Rylan, it’s a bit different

How about Rupert? Rudy/Rudi? Rafferty? Remy?

Sorry RoMan and RoWan and Rohan are all just too similar. Roman is fastest rising boys name in top 100. I work with newborns in paediatrics and there’s been SO many Romans and Rowans this year it gets really confusing. I wasn’t at all suprised to hear that Roman is the fastest rising boys name. It’ll be top 20 in next year or so. Personally I’d avoid names that are in such a similar bracket as correcting people and people mishearing would grate on me

Rhett? I love this name!

FawnDrench · 26/11/2019 17:35

Rio
Raul
Rafe

Mollie3 · 26/11/2019 20:38

Robin, Robert

Don’t mind Remy as mentioned above but others 🤔

Leopardprintboots · 26/11/2019 21:19

Are we being any help @Puni

Staffori · 26/11/2019 21:26

Names I haven't seen mentioned here include Rufus, Rhys, Reuben, Ronan and Rhett.

NameChange30 · 26/11/2019 21:29

What's a modern name?
I like Reuben and Rory but I don't think they're modern.

gnushoes · 26/11/2019 22:24

Roger

Niki93 · 04/12/2019 19:22

Regan. Robbie. Remi. Rew. Ruben

Nonnymum · 04/12/2019 19:26

Rowan, Roman, Ronan, Reece, Rafe, Rex, Rudy,

Leopardprintboots · 04/12/2019 19:35

Did you come up with a shortlist @Puni

hannahfaith · 04/12/2019 19:35

I've always love the name Rhys (pronounced Reece) for a little boy
