I have a soft spot for Lucien but think the combination of Dylan Hunter sounds better than Lucien Oliver. It flows better somehow.

Dylan Oliver.

Or Flynn Oliver.

Both lovely.

Hunter is dreadful and Lucien is poncetastic.

I like Dylan or Lucien best but Flynn is also very nice. I think Oliver is much better than Hunter.

Dylan.

Though having said that it depends on if you're going to say it with the correct pronunciation - duh-lan. If not I'd suggest you use Dillon, which is Irish I believe.

Every other boy around here seems to be called Dylan, which is why I;d go for Flynn.

Lucian is a bit poncey, but OK if you can carry it off.

I think Lucien is a bit fey tbh.
Like the others though.

None are really to my taste, but I would choose Flynn. I prefer Oliver to Hunter.

Not Flynn I like Finn but Flynn just sounds wrong to my ears for some reason. Like Lucien over Dylan a lot of Dylans around at the moment.

Really like Dylan and Flynn. I know a Dylan who is a great lad.

To say I'm really not keen on Lucien would be puttin it mildly.

Agree with those who've expressed strong dislike for Lucien.

Dylan and Flynn both great, and prefer Oliver to Hunter

I actually love Lucien. And in my mind, Lucien is a tough, creative romantic, like the artist Lucien Freud. Lucien Oliver is great.

Going to be even more contrary and admit I'm not at all fond of Dylan or Flynn! Grin

Really like Flynn and it's not to popular either. Quite like Dylan too but really don't like the name Lucien

Flynn because its not as overused as Dylan, and it sounds better than Lucien.

Really like Lucien! Cool, classic and not timeless. Flynn/Finn are very overused and Dylan I'm not keen on.

Flynn! I love this but doesn't go with our surname. Please use it!

Always loved Lucien.
Flynn is a surname or nickname for someone with that surname.
Not fussed about Dylan.
