Mn jury for Bradley? Dylan? Ben?

[BoysBoysBoysAndMe]

We have 2 boys, Alfie and Jack.

Both very common although not common where we live. Both have middle name of James.

Ds3 will have middle name of James too.

Can't decide/agree in a first name. What do you think?

Bradley?
Ben?
Dylan?

Or something else?

Bradley makes me think of Bradley Walsh.
Dylan I like.
As for Ben....

As for James, I like you using this name for all of them, I have a Michael James and a James Alexander.

Bradley - dont like sorry
Dylan - fine
Ben - just millions and millions every family has a Ben it is totally overdone.

Just for interest why are they all called James?

James for all 3 as its my dh middle name.

And my brother is Michael James or we would consider Michael. Love Thomas too but my younger brother is Tom.

Dh initials are AJD, so wanted to name dc3 with a D name so our sons are dh initials iyswim.

But dh not keen on Dylan, where out of those 3 choices its my favourite.

Boys names are so hard!

Yes Bradley is Bradley Walsh. I like Dylan and Ben. David? (nn Davy?)

Love Dylan love Ben, don't like Bradley.

That's me!

I like the name Ben, despite knowing one that I really disliked. not keen on the other two names.

Dermot/Diarmuid? Daniel?

Love Ben, Dylan is ok, less keen on Bradley.

I think trying too hard for the initials is less important than finding a name you both love.

Boys names are totally impossible though!

Dexter?

Dexter = serial killer

Baby Derrick

Dahlmer?

Dylan, Ben, Bradley in that order.

We have a Jack and a Ben, a Joe and a Harry.

I really like the name Bradley Esp this olympic year :). Think it sounds nice with your other sons name too

Ben, but do think it's odd that they all have the same middle name

Baby David, of course

Dylan pronounced Dilln is really annoying
Sorry I think Ben is...hmm....
Bradley is OK

Dylan James is my DS's name (18 months) - we don't hear many other boys with the name Dylan.

funny ha ha love it, ten out of ten for you!

NellyJob How else would you pronounce it? Die-lan?

Quite a few Dylans round here.

I like them all but Dylan really goes well with your other DC names. My fave is Bradley.

As its welsh it's pronounced here dull-an more than dillan

Oh! Well, every day's a school day

as pickledfanjocat said it's a Welsh name and the English pronunciation of it is v annoying tbh and makes me think of a character from the magic roundabout...

My welsh speaking friend Dylan gets very upset about it if he gets called dillan!

Don't think it's at all a problem though if you live in England and want to pronounce it that way?

Mine is called Dylan. His Welsh Grandad calls him 'Dullan', but we say 'Dillon'. I think it's a brill name ;)
