My husband and I have strongly been considering Ryder as our first boys name. Do you think Ryder will be made fun of for his name?? Jokes such as Ride-her?? A lot of people have given us positive feedback on the name, but we just want to know if that's something most people think of when they hear the name. YES or NO?

I connected it with an old teacher's name, not any kind of lewd reference like that, but then again, I'm not a 10 year old boy. I would go for it, though, if you two really like it. I've taught a couple of kids with that name, and they've never come to me with problems about being teased regarding the name. Anyway, with all the crazy stuff parents are naming their children these days, the kids will have much better teasing fodder than Ryder.

I like the name Ryder. Like others said, kids will find ways to make fun of any name. I know someone whos son is named Ryder and he doesnt have people making fun of it.

No....I like the name Ryder......I don't think people in general will associate that name with that type of joke. This is coming from a father of three boys...

I know a little boy named Ryder and he gets made fun of and laughed at. He is only in first grade but people mistake it for Walker alot? They also call him Parker alot.

kids in school can find anything to joke about, so i can't guarantee there won't be jokes like that. But like i said, they joke about everything and it is a really nice name. It's actually my last name (Rider) and is the name of one of my favorite actors, Ryder Strong. But i say go with it. I mean, hell if someone can name their kid Pilot Inspektor...:p. But seriously, it is a really nice name. So, YES.

That wasn’t the first thing I though of when I heard the name. I think it’s a cute name; plus no matter what you name your child other children will find a way to make fun of the name because it’s just what children do. Good luck.

I dont think it will be made fun of. But dont think like that, chose a name that really you love. If you are your husband love it, than go for it. Kids can be cruel and will tease anybody with any name. So dont worry about that so much.
