[edit] Gender Confusion

Ryan is also given to females occisonally in recent times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chomeara (talkcontribs) 13:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Ryan is also the name of a popular sex addict 'Ryan O'Donnell' of Glasgow, Scotland. Born in 1985 Ryan claims to have had sex with almost one thousand girls since he became sexually active in 1995. Although having never impregnated another Ryan still insists he is determined to see off his habit, and settle down sometime in the future with his "soulmate" although she has yet to be found.

[edit] Ryan Pinhammer

"Ryan is a great name and one that should be key to the future, due to the significance of a local Cornish hero called Ryan Pinhammer."

What does this even mean? It should either be deleted or rewritten. 72.65.42.36 (talk) 04:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Did you know' candidate?

I believe this article is a WP:DYK candidate as it has expanded from list to article status today, an expansion that meets that "5-fold expansion" criterion for non-new articles to be considered. I don't think it's kosher for me to nominate my own work for consideration. The process for nomination appears at Template talk:Did you know and Wikipedia:DYK#How a DYK suggestion makes its way to the Main Page. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
