[name]Do[/name] you like the name [name]Ryker[/name]?
Oh my, no. It’s really not pleasant-sounding. And there is the obvious, unfortunate association of [name]Ryker[/name]'s Island - the prison in [name]New[/name] [name]York[/name] City.
I think [name]Ryker[/name]'s Island. To compound the already violent association, [name]Ryker[/name] also sounds like a mash-up of rifle and striker.
As a [name]Star[/name] Trek fan, [name]Ryker[/name] obviously has that association for me. I like it, but in all honesty, I would never us it. It sounds trendy, and frankly like it’s trying too hard to be cool. I’m sorry if that stings! Not meaning to offend, but that is my honest opinion.
I don’t like it, sorry. I agree with PP that it sounds like yet another made up/trendy/wannabe cool sort of name.
All I can think of is the prison, sorry.
I know a little [name]Ryker[/name] and he’s adorable! I like it!
[name]Ryker[/name] has some very familiar sounds. Makes me think of [name]Ryan[/name], [name]Parker[/name], [name]Ryder[/name], [name]Walker[/name], [name]Rylan[/name], [name]Kyler[/name], [name]Laken[/name], [name]Brecken[/name]. I like the sound but I have trouble separating that from the prison. [name]Ryker[/name] is very “Bad Boy” & it brings to mind tough names like [name]Rogue[/name], [name]Vandal[/name], [name]Wilder[/name], [name]Cannon[/name], [name]Ransom[/name], [name]Beretta[/name], [name]Striker[/name].
Have you considered [name]Iker[/name]?
It’s a prison. So, no.
Oh, no. The spelling seems very trendy, and there’s the prison…
I think it’s absolutely horrible. It sounds like it’s trying too hard to be cool but ends up sounding like a wannabe. Too trendy.
Not at all, sorry.
[name]William[/name] ‘[name]Will[/name]’ Riker was the second in command to [name]Captain[/name] [name]Picard[/name] in [name]Star[/name] Trek. His surname is all I think of.
No, definitely not. I’d avoid anything prison-related in naming a baby…
I say no, the meaning of the name isn’t very nice and plus it has negative associations. It seems like one of those names that people choose just because it sounds “cool”. “Cool” is the last trait that should be considered when picking a name.
I’m sorry, all I can think of is the prison.
And since [name]Law[/name] and Order (SVU, anyway) is such a big show, it’s bound to have that connection with places that wouldn’t necessarily know it to begin with.
Have you considered [name]Radley[/name]?
Nope, über trendy and reminds me of the prison. Sorry!
Yes, me too!
Sorry, but I’m another no vote. The prison is the first thing I think of and also the spelling seems very trendy/trying to be cool. That being said, if I met a little [name]Ryker[/name], I’d probably entertain those thoughts for a bit and then accept it as his name and move on.
