What do you think to the name Dean? Dated or due a comeback?

Always classic and cool to me

Only reason it's not on my list is because I like Sam more lol

PickledTurkey · 28/01/2024 19:11

Definitely not. Hate to say it but chavvy in the extreme.

It's definitely due a comeback.
Make it so.

Deen is a lovely name in Arabic.

Dene looks feminine. There's a village near me called (something) Dean. I think the dean is the same as dene.

I quite like Dean as a name, but it does seem a bit dated and I'd expect a Dean to have friends/brothers called Lee and Scott.

garlictwist · 21/01/2024 02:51

What about Dene and then it's got more of a nature theme?

nocoolnamesleft · 21/01/2024 00:25

I'd assume Supernatural fan. (Which is not a bad thing)

SuperFurryCat · 21/01/2024 00:13

I hate the name Dean. It’s dated, the ones I’ve known in my life have all been the type that lose in life, and also I don’t really like very short names.

lightelmqueen · 20/01/2024 22:31

I actually really like it. I like short, 1 syllable names for bots. I don't really know if it is dated as I'm in my mid thirties and have never actually met a Dean

Copperoliverbear · 20/01/2024 22:30

Dated. X

It's probably due a comeback. Jason is already back in vogue as is Colin so don't see why Dean shouldn't.

Mumaway · 20/01/2024 22:18

Soooo dated, and also never a particularly good name.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 20/01/2024 22:03

Or a daughter called Pearl.

VeryUninspired · 20/01/2024 21:14

I love it, you should have another son called Sam :)

DameKatyDenisesClagnuts · 20/01/2024 21:13

Awful drippy name

Pemba · 20/01/2024 06:09

Urgh no, not a nice name at all, even when it was in fashion.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 20/01/2024 00:06

Dean is nice.
Deacon
Dexter
Declan

CharlotteMakepeace · 19/01/2024 15:46

I like it as I love Dean Stockwell as an actor and Dean Cain as a person.

OhItsOnlyCynthia · 19/01/2024 15:43

Dean, Lee, Darrell, Darren, Lance. They're all the same person.

peaceinourtime · 19/01/2024 15:40

Yes Dean Is a lovely name. As is Joel which I was thinking of yesterday. A nice refreshing change from the names of the day Alfie, Theo, Teddy et al

tadpolelove · 16/01/2024 22:37

It's lovely, I know about four under 10 years old

Where do you live?!

theduchessofspork · 17/01/2024 19:37

MillicentRogers · 17/01/2024 10:52

A brother for Torvill.

Wearegettingfedup · 17/01/2024 11:16
