“There’s no losers in the corner here,” said organizer Ryan Cousins. “Everyone loves you here…. Everyone wants to give you a hug because of your name and because you automatically fit in.”This was a safe space from the tragic social blunder all Ryans endure: having that insufferable “B” inserted in front of our names when we just want our coffee or a pleasant introduction.“I’m a girl, so you would think that wouldn’t happen to me,” Ryan Diz told me. “No, it happens to girls, too.
“It’s such a stupid idea… It’s so dumb,” Ryan Cousins said. “The further you take it, the dumber it gets and the funnier it gets.” Ryans whose birthdays fell over the weekend were invited onstage for cake, with hundreds of their namesakes singing “Happy Birthday.” Ryan Clark represents another Ryan as he waits in line for the Ryan Rave, a meet-up of hundreds of people named Ryan, on Sept. 2, 2023.
Ryan Moody, a Black woman, said her parents had a specific goal: “[They] wanted a name that would make me seem like a white guy on resumes.” This was her second Ryan meet-up and she’s met several fellow Black girl Ryans, who now share a group chat.
