My name's Ripley. Tbh, I love it. I’m the only person named that, (that I’ve met) and I think it’s sick af. Most of the time, people think I’m named after Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. Kinda annoying, but it’s chill lol.
I feel like it could be used on females and males and maybe even pets! My name is Ripley and some people think of Ellen Ripley in Aliens so I have to tell them it's from her. But overall, I think it's for anyone and that it's a pretty name for anyone!

Horrible. It's a surname, and also the name of a town here in Britain.
I’m proud to say that my first name is Ripley. Whenever I introduce myself I always get a positive response. They always say “Oh, that’s a cool name” or "Ripley, like in Alien?" Tiny little problem, and by now it doesn’t bother me…whenever I do business online or social media, I’m always addressed as Sir, Mister or Brother. Oh well….
I find this name annoying for some reason. Maybe it reminds me of Kipling or some other annoying name. It sounds a bit pretentious somehow. I absolutely loathe the name on females. It sounds too boyish for any self-respecting grown woman. And pretty it also isn't.
