What other names could I like ?

Today I found out I am having a boy! I am so over the moon. I couldn't think of girls names.
My favorite name is Dylan followed by Theodore (Theo or teddy) when I say this to family they said Theodore.
Any others to add on my list ?

Or maybe Tristan - Welsh heritage like Dylan and is two syllable, starts with a T like Theo/Teddy.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/11/2020 20:20

I like Dylan a lot, much more than Theodore (although Theo is a nice nickname I admit). Theodore sounds a little fuddy-duddy/fussy to me for some reason.

Similar classic but simple Welsh names to Dylan are Evan and Owen. Or instead of Theodore, to get the nickname Teddy I'd stick with Edward on the BC - much more classic (or maybe one of the other Ed names if Edward is too popular).

I like Dylan best, I quite like the Dillon spelling, I belive it is welsh?

Enough4me · 05/11/2020 14:25

OP it's your choice and your family will think it's a great name if you go with it I'm sure.

It's a name that would definitely grow on me if I heard it more and it's not made-up or bizarre, one spelling, so I like it.

Thank you all for the suggestions ! Honestly I live Dylan and keep coming back to it so
Think it will be the one I go for. Its nice to see a lot of people think it's a lovely name ! Think that's why I was going Theo as family didn't like Dylan.

Love Dylan, great name. Honestly can't comprehend the sudden love for Theodore/Theo/Teddy - they're EVERYWHERE.
