I know both a boy and girl who have this name and honestly I can see it on both. I think this name is pretty cool but personally wouldn’t use it for my kid.

I’m sorry, but this name sounds really feminine to me and I can’t imagine it on a guy.

I think this shouldn't be given to someone's daughter. Or son. I like this name on a pet. Like maybe a gerbil. Because when you want it to come to you, all you need to do is yell "RYLAN" and they run over to you. Plus it's easy to spell.
My father decided it would be cool if he had a daughter named Rylan and here I am. Stuck with the name Rylan, which sucks cause it is a boy name. SO RYLAN CAN BE USED FOR A FEMALE!
Love the name Rylan have a little cousin, age 5 called Rylan. It suits him so much he's so cool. Love R names. Over all he has 4 Siblings called Rian, Rebecca, Rhys and Rory.

I don't understand why it would be so wrong for a girl to be named Rylan. I am a girl and I am named Rylan and very proud of it!

I really like this name but I do admit that it does sound very modern and cutesy so if I were to ever use it, I'd be more comfortable to having it be the middle name. Only for a boy of course!

I like this name and if you like\love it as well and are considering using it for your little guy, some combos I have paired with it that you are more than welcome to take a look at are: Spencer Rylan Theodore Rylan Thomas Rylan Feel free to reverse the combos. I personally prefer Rylan as a middle.

I don't hate this name, it's just too unusual for my taste.

Rylan is a great name, and a viable alternative to the nice but way overused Ryan (also more substantial). I think the "original" form, Ryland (originally a surname), is even more dashing.Only for a man, though. I find neither variant feminine.
Nice name! An alternative to the more well known "Ryan" without being too out there or ridiculous. Just a shame some seem to believe this name is usable on a girl. Damn shame. ^–^ Rylan is a males name. No argument there.

I feel like this could be a boy name (variant of Ryan) or a girl name (reminds me of Rylee). It sounds nice for either, and I normally dislike names that are suitable for both genders. Although honestly I have never met anyone named Rylan.
The Rylan Star League was an organisation in the 1984 science fiction adventure film "The Last Starfighter". The Rylans are the good guys of the film.I can't help but feel that this was a significant factor in use of the name.The hero of the film Alex Rogan lives in a trailer park; I don't know whether this is significant or not.
My sons name :) Lovely and not too common ... Yet!

I had a crush on a guy named Rylan for the longest time! But once I realized he was a friend, I thought to myself "I probably only liked him because of his name. It's an awsome name!" It is VERY masculine. I hope it does not become popular because I like it unique. I hope to name my little boy (if I have one) Rylan.
This name sounds much, much more mature and sophisticated than Riley, even though I do think Riley is a pretty nice name, as long as it's used on guys, not girls. This name is less likely to make me think of Bill O'Reilly as well, so I'd say this name is way better. But well, I think this name is guaranteed to become overused and shortened to the even more overused Riley.
