I'm a Ryan.

Sorry Not an Alex, also, it's impossible not to have one of the above characteristics.

You've named all possible answers.

A portmanteu when you use a foreign word in your language (something along those lines), for example, paranoid in spanish is "paranĂ³ico", so now you see where it came from.

ahh. I understand.  I know what you are talking about now.  There is another word for that, but I can't think of it right now...  :-\

Random story that pertains to speaking spanish:
"Fui embarassado por mi hermano."  my teacher just laughed at me. 
I thought embarassado meant embarrassed... yeah. haha.

Man, quite a few The Great Gatsby parallels here, aren't there?

And Chuck and I share the same name. Guess Ryan's not that uncommon of a name.
