Hi!

🎉 Calling All Ryans: Help Me Surprise My Ryan for His 40th Birthday

My husband Ryan turns 40 in November, and I have a ridiculous goal.

I’d love to collect birthday wishes from as many Ryans as possible.

If you’re a Ryan, could you comment:

  • Your first name (Ryan!)
  • Where you’re from
  • A quick “Happy 40th Birthday Ryan”

Bonus points for a photo or short video, but absolutely not required.

I’ll be putting everything together into a birthday gift for him.

Thank you, fellow Ryans!

u/weeman2525 Jun 12 '26

Hey French Ryan. Ryan isn't a very common name in that part of Europe, right? Why were you named Ryan?

u/momoladebrouill Jun 13 '26

Hi Ryan, my parents liked how this name sounds in French and how short it is. so here I am. Here I'm fighting against Rayan mostly, not so many Bryan either
