Currently thinking of names for DS2. Struggling a bit as we used our two favourite boys names for DS1 first and middle names (rookie error!!!).

We do both like Dylan, but I've had mixed feedback about it on a broader names thread, so hoping to get more opinions on it here. What do people think?

I think it can also be spelt Dillon, but that is less popular?

Love Dylan ❤️ Perfect name

Love Dylan (spelt like that)

LargeGinOnTap · 01/04/2020 10:37

I really like Dylan. Dillon not so much

I love the name Dylan. It makes me think of someone artistic/creative (Bob Dylan, Dylan Thomas)

Dillon just looks odd written down to me though.

I thought it was a naughty boys name like Tyler !

I like Dylan :) I am Welsh though. Don't like the spelling Dillon at all.

LotusClover · 01/04/2020 09:25

It's a nice name but fairly common. Dillon is a less popular but still well-recognised way of spelling it :)

I have a 12yo Dylan he likes his name

PlantPotting · 01/04/2020 09:02

Love it - gentle yet strong name

iamaswashbuckler · 01/04/2020 08:48

I love that name! I wanted it for my DS but was not to be.
