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?

It's lovely, by far my favourite on your list!

Dylan. Even Dylan Thomas himself favoured the Anglicised pronunciation.

Just not Bradley. It's as bad as Brian.

I too have a Dylan James. :)

Dunno about not too common, it's shooting up the popularity lists and imagine my surprise when I took him for his 4 week check-up and the nurse called out Dylan... and someone else stood up. We don't live in the UK, never mind Wales!

Mine is Dylan Jack. I know that Jack is quite a common name, but Dylan isn't (not round here anyway - I'm in Scotland).

Dylan
