Although [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] sounds better with the mn [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], I voted for [name_m]Ryland[/name_m]. [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] is too similar to the phrase “ride her”. Neither name is my style but I’d rather be a [name_m]Ryland[/name_m] than a [name_m]Ryder[/name_m].
I prefer the name [name_m]Ryland[/name_m], although I think [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] has a bit of a better flow with [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m].
[name_m]Ryder[/name_m] isn’t “ride her” to me. It’s “rider”. Like a horse back rider. Besides, kids don’t really say “ride her” nowadays anyways.
