What's a girly way to spell Rylan besides Rilyn?

I know Rilyn is the feminine spelling for it but it's not a very pretty spelling. So what's another way to spell the Ri part and keep the -Lyn ending?

Update:

THE BOY'S VERSION OF IT IS RYLAND NOT RYLAN SO IT'S NOT MASCULINE. I'VE ONLY EVER HEARD IT FOR A GIRL. IF YOU SAY ANYTHING RUDE ABOUT IT YOU WILL BE REPORTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I wouldn't really say there are many 'pretty' ways to spell a masculine name...

    Rylyn would be the only other way I can think of, although it's not very flattering

    Edit: Just because you've never heard of it on a boy doesn't make it any less masculine. You even admitted yourself that it's not a girly name and included the 'feminine' spelling, if it's a feminine name then why does it have a separate spelling... Huh? Rylan is a Irish BOYS name. If you wish you use it on a girl then that's fine - but there isn't much selection when it comes to 'girly' spellings, thus me answering the question as I did. Don't be so ignorant.

    No matter how you spell the name, you will never be able to take away the masculine and boyish sound and you will never turn it into an "actual" girls name. It is not like an "Francis & Frances" deal.

    "Rilyn\Rylyn" or however you wish just looks tacky and uneducated. Why not just spell the name properly regardless of the gender?! Rylan or Rylen. And also, just because the name ends in "Lyn" sound, that makes it OK to slap it on a girl? It won't be long before a name such as "Nolan" becomes slaughtered. Yikes

    Update: Uh...way to make a fool of yourself. I know what I am talking about, you clearly don't. The name has NOT exclusive to girls no matter how hard you believe so. It's simply a boys name, regardless of spelling and regardless of decade. Both Rylan & Ryland are boy names. How hard is that fact to digest? Your ignorance is strong. Also, reporting won't do anything so go ahead. If otherwise, my account would have been terminated a long time ago.

    I have a problem with boy names used on girls and even more so when they trash up the spelling to quote on quote "feminize" it. It's obnoxious and tiresome.

    You could spell it as Railyn

    I think the pronunciation of "ray-lin" with the spelling of Raelynn would be better.
