Shay Ryker
I’ve had my first name, Shay, picked out for a little over a month now but I hadn’t even thought of a middle name until a few weeks ago and I had no idea where to start. After coming out, Ann (a close family friend who’s basically my older sister) suggested that I go through my list of names to see if any of them flowed well with Shay.
My list of names is the list that I created when I was trying to find a new first name. What I did was go through a bunch of baby name websites and put any name that caught my attention on the list. Along with that, I asked a few of my friends what they would name me and put all those suggestions on the list as well.
When it came time to pick, there was a few I really like but, ultimately, it came down to Shay and Ryker. I really liked both but I just didn’t feel like Ryker fit me right as a first name. When going back through the list, however, I found that Shay Ryker has a very nice ring to it.
That’s my quick little sum of how I chose my name. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)
