Ryker

I don't get the hate for this name. Like, I don't think I'd ever name a kid this, but it's also far, far from horrendous.

Childish and cliché. At least it's not Pystol, I guess (yeah, people name their kids Pystol).

It sounds made up to me.

Immature and tacky.

You know, I’ll just be honest…I actually like this name! I used to really despise it. However, I love it now! It’s a handsome and cool boy name. I’m definitely adding Ryker to my favorites list.

I am going to be the minority and say I love this name! We just named our little one Ryker and it fits him! He was born with a Mohawk and an ornery disposition. He’s a cuddle bug with a side of jokester, exactly how I imagine someone name Ryker to be. My husband's family is German so it seemed fitting. I am not sure why all the hate but we love it.

Ok not a perfect name. But isn't it better than Ovary (Avery)? I guess it is.

I know most of you won’t agree, but I love the name Ryker. The name is really cool! Perfect for a cute little boy. Better than Ryder.

Abhorrent, but there are definitely worse names.

Horrendous.

I like this name. It sounds strong and clever. I's also a more classic alternative to Rider.

It's a hard sounding name.

Sounds ugly to say and is just horrible.

This was trendy about five years ago. Over it and actually dislike it now.

Hideous.

I mean this is just my opinion but I think it’s 10 times better than Ryder, it’s an okay name...

Ryker is the name of a legend. Ignore all these horrible comments. If you're named Ryker, you are destined for greatness. Much better than Nate, Dane, Byron, Britten, Ryder, and many more.

This is one of those names that I really like, I just can’t imagine naming my kid it.

What a horrible name...so ugly...Ryker sounds like a deadly disease, and reminds me of diarrhea.

Overall, 0/10.

I can't imagine anyone over the age of 14 with this name.

Hahahaha! The only comments showing up are negative, so let this be the first positive comment! My friend's name is Ryker! I personally think it's a cool name for the dork that he is! :D.

Terrible, terrible name.

Is this even a human name? Sounds more like a name you'd give a dog.

Just as bad as Ryder.

This is the worst name ever.

My name is Ryker and I'm a girl. I LOVE my name and honestly always have. Almost everyone I've ever met has complemented it. No, I'm not a tacky, trashy person. And neither is my mom. Thank you SO much for your sweet comments though! (that was sarcasm)

Horrible. Sounds incredibly tacky. Something someone really trashy would name their son.

I think the name Ryker is awesome, cute and modern! I LOVE this name! :D.

First thing I think of is Riker's Island (which is hardcore, even for a prison). So... yeah, that renders Ryker unusable as a name for me.

Can't get past the Rikers Island association, which effectively rules out any possibility of my liking this name.

I first encountered this as the name of a trashy young mother's baby, and I immediately hated it. It sounds so ugly, trendy, and fake. It's not a real name!

My first thought is Commander William T. even if that Riker is spelt differently.
