I just realized that Alexis Bledel's character in "Post Grad" is named Ryden.

This is one I can honestly say I've never heard, and wouldn't think of it on a girl.

Haha. I didn't know that!

Wow. Like ridin'?

it really bothers me for some reason when characters names don't fit with their actual ages. i could see a little girl now named ryden because people have gotten into this weird spell-names-with-y and everything-sounds-a-little-like-aiden thing, but she's supposed to be like 21-22 years old and it's just not believable lol. why couldn't they call her brittany or ashley if they so needed something trendy.

I was just going to make that comment. Not all the exact words or anything, lol, but really, that name sounds like a baby born on the release date of the movie, not a 22-year-old character in it.

My thoughts exactly.

I agree!! WHOSE decision was it to name her Ryden?

I know someone who has a 9 month old son named Ryden. I don't know where she heard the name. I really dislike it. It's so made-up trendy.

Hahah.. I asked about that name in my first entry here; I sort of like Ryder, but having an -er last name (the boyfriend does too), it was too much -er so I asked about Ryden. This was a few months ago now.. the result was basically that no one heard of it and it was made up but could only be tolerable due to the -er situation. ANYWAY. That said, I read the character's name yesterday and giggled about that. I still sort of like it, definitely not for a girl, but there are many other names that are more.. real, that I also like more.

Ohhhh dear. My mom and I are going to go see that, and now I know I will be cringing the whole movie. :/

Like others said, Ryden is not really believable on a girl who's supposed to be, like, 22. D: And even if it was, I still don't like the name at all.
