Just that really! Our favourite names for DS2 are either Dylan or Theo. Looking for opinions on either/both. What do you think of when you hear them? Boys names are tricky I think!

I like Theo, I just hate it when people are lazy and pronounce it Feo

Dylan! Much stronger and more unusual, but everyone knows it.

Oh, and I meant to say, I like Dylan pronounced both the Welsh and the English way.

Theo! Much prefer it

I agree that Theo is a little wishy-washy. Good way of putting it. Perfectly pleasant, but leaves no impact. I like Dylan. I’ve heard a few people describe it as chavvy, but I’ve never thought so. Just makes me think of Bob Dylan, nice and bohemian.

Dylan for me, it's a good strong name. Theo is everywhere at the moment, and I think it's a bit wishy-washy.
