My husband and I are expecting our second son later in the year, and name discussions pop up almost every day!
The main obstacle in order to come to an agreement is the fact that he is English, and I'm Swedish. We live in Sweden and plan to stay here long term. However, I would like our childrens' names to reflect their heritage and so we're trying to come up with a name that works in both cultures. This has been a much bigger problem than anticipated because one name has different connotations in England vs Sweden! We finally agreed to the name Isaac for our first born and my husband would like the name Dylan for our second. I don't mind Dylan, it's not a Swedish name but easy enough to pronounce and not too obscure (in Sweden, everyone has heard of Bob)!
Basically I have no connection with the name but want to find out what "kind" of name it is in England at the moment? Unfortunately most names bring up a mental image of that person, and I would like for him to have a fairly neutral name that doesn't get him immediately labeled as something. We have thoughts of moving over for a year or so when they are older, partly to spend more time with their grand parents and cousins, but also to become more connected to their English side :)
So any thoughts on the name Dylan, and whether or not it goes well with Isaac, are much appreciated!
