2 my DS(21) and Great Nephew(10). Both Dylan, both known as Dyl but we are Welsh.

1 10yo, 1 8/9yo and 1 7/8yo.

A lot. 12 or 13 maybe more, all different ages. I prefer it pronounced the Welsh way rather than the Dillan pronounciation/spelling.

I know a lot of Dylans, it’s quite a popular name in my area.

Four. Three males and one female.

My DH really liked the name Dylan for our own DC but where we live, all names tend to get shortened to the first syllable and I couldn’t stand to have a son called ‘Dill’. I’m so glad I vetoed it now what with there being so many around that we know.

@realwoodlogs - most teachers remember the naughty children anyway, so that makes sense.

Loads! There are 5 in DS1’s year (10yr olds), 2 in DS2’s year (9yr olds) and I think there were 2 in my DD’s year when she was in primary last year, I wouldn’t have a clue now she’s in high school.
Then outside of school, there are 3 in one of my DS’s rugby team and I know a few others as well through friends of friends etc.

realwoodlogs · 04/03/2018 16:55

I’ve taught many, many Dylans.

Not sure I can remember one who wasn’t naughty/annoying.
