What do people think if Dillon?
Is it normally spelt Dylan or are either OK (prefer Dillon spelling)?
I used to love the name but am worried it has become really common. Opinions??
Thanks

If I was going to use it, I would personally go with Dylan, but I think its very popular nowadays.

Where I'm from a "Dillon" is an idiot

Dylan is the spelling I know. Dillon looks hard. Don't like it.

I know two Dillon's( & loads of Dylan). The Dillons are of Indian descent

I have only met Dylans and know only 1 kid Dylan (but he's about 13)

Dillon's was a newsagents.

I prefer it spelt Dhillon.

Ys in the middle of names look really off to me and so I don't actually like Dylan, but I'd use the more accepted spelling if you do in fact go for it.
