Baby due in June. We don't know whether it's a boy or girl.

We have a boy already - Dylan Keane Leonard. Surname is one syllable beginning with T.

Baby will have 2 middle names.

Honest (but not brutal) opinions please!

Callum
Declan
Ethan
Ezra
Fraser
Hayden
Luca
Milo
Noah
Tristan

In an ideal world as you already have Dylan I'd discount names also ending in 'en' or 'an', you're obviously drawn to them as it would rule out half your list.

So Luca, although I prefer either Luke or Lucas, and Noah,.

Dylan and Ethan go well together.
Dylan and Fraser are very nice, and different.
Dylan and Milo, also fit the bill.
I really don't like the others though, apart from Ezra, but not with Dylan.

I hadn't noticed the -en and -an trend. Although saying that, my name ends in en and my husband's ends in an so it doesn't bother me. In fact the baby would be the odd one out if it didn't have an en or an name!

I don't like Tristan, Fraser or Declan. Just not my taste, nothing wrong with them. I think Declan and Dylan are much too similar.

Hayden is ok, but there are too many Aidans, Jaydens and Kaydens already. It doesn't go well with Dylan.

I like Ethan and Noah, but they're overused.

My favourite are Callum, Ezra, Luca and Milo. All great names and not massively overused, although I think Ezra is becoming increasingly popular. I'd probably go for either Callum or Milo.

Fraser is great, especially with Dylan. I would say Declan is probably too similar.

From your list my favourites are Callum, Ethan and Luca. I also like Noah but know so many little Noahs!

I'm not so keen on Ezra and Milo (not sure why, I'm just not keen on how they sound!)

I don't think that Declan goes very well with Dylan, they sound too similar to me.

Oops, couldn't decide if Luca was "like" or "ok" and it's ended up in both Grin

Dylan and Noah also sounds good to me, agree Dylan and Declan too similar.

Dylan and Cormack?
Dylan and Max?

Sorry OP, for some strange reason, I missed Callum out.
Dylan and Callum sound great together.

I like Fraser and Tristan.
And Declan, but it probably is too similar to Dylan.

I love Luca Smile

Update - my fave is definitely Tristan. Hubby has vetoed everything on the list except Tristan and Callum. We have no ideas for middle names - we need 2 as my DS has 2!

I don't like Tristan. Callum is nicer, but I'm not a fan of that either.

Really like the suggestion of Tristan Milo Ezra but hubby won't go for it. I was hoping for suggestions for middle names not on my original list.
