My husband likes the name [name]Ryder[/name], he tends to like really masculine sounding names. Theres a couple of nameberry lists that speak to his style i think its ‘names dad like more than moms’ and ‘names kids consider cool’.
While i don’t outright dislike it i do worry that it comes across as trashy, if that makes sense.
Is it on the same lines as [name]Destiny[/name], [name]Crystal[/name], [name]Diamond[/name], [name]Angel[/name] ect?
Its trendy, but I wouldn’t call it trashy. [name]Hope[/name] that helped. 
Doesn’t immeadatly come to me as trashy.
I definitely don’t see [name]Ryder[/name] as trashy.
I think it could go either way. People form my perception more than the name (at least after a first glance). [name]Ryder[/name] is the name of a new character on Glee who I don’t think is trashy at all. That has changed my perception of the name. Before that, I’d imagine [name]Ryder[/name] to be a cowboy kind of guy.
Yeah, it kind of gives off a trashy/trendy vibe to me. I’m not a fan.
Personally, I would define [name]Ryder[/name] as a “name that tries too hard to be cool and ends up sounding macho”. It’s trendy and all I hear is the term “ride her” so I would classify it as a bit trashy for that reason alone.
While I don’t love [name]Ryder[/name], I wouldn’t call it trashy. It is similar to other word names and surnames that I consider acceptable. It is trendy though. It has a pleasing sound and kind of a rugged cowboy image to it, which I like.
I wouldn’t call it trashy, but like mischa, I keep hearing “ride her” when I hear the name. That makes it a no for me.
Yeah, it has a very trashy feel to me.
Come on kiwimum we who live south of the equator don’t say trashy! And no [name]Ryder[/name] is fine, a lot better than all the [name]Jaden[/name] style names.
With the [name]Ryder[/name] spelling, yes, it does have a trailer park/white trash feel to it. If you spelled it [name]Rider[/name], then I think it would be fine.
Unfortunately, I agree with pp’s. I hear “ride her”…
I agree with the “trendy but not trashy” assessment. For me, it doesn’t fit in with the names you’ve listed. I’ve never met one in real life, though.
With the Aussie accent we say Ryda not er so it is not a problem for me.
I don’t know that it’s trashy, but it is sort of a cowboy name. Like [name]Maverick[/name], [name]Dakota[/name], [name]Wyatt[/name], [name]Colt[/name], or [name]West[/name]. I think you also have to be careful about what middle and last name you use with that, since [name]Ryder[/name] sounds like a word name. You know, make sure you’re not inadvertently writing a regrettable sentence with his names.
Doesn’t feel trashy to me. I like it. Has a cool nn, [name]Ry[/name]/[name]Rye[/name].
I agree with this.
I don’t think [name]Ryder[/name] is trashy. I do however feel that it’s trying a little to hard to be cool.
Oddly I prefer the word name [name]Rider[/name] but nn [name]Rye[/name].
I do agree with previous posters that with the “wrong” accent you might hear “ride her” and that because of that I’d be very careful with middle and LN combos to make sure it’s not awkward or inappropriate in the end.
Very trashy. I hate it along with its twin, [name]Ryker[/name] (yuck!).
