Dylan.....but prefer Oliver to Hunter.

Bakerof3pudsxx · 08/12/2013 16:23

Dylan is lovely

Flynn is alright

Don't like Lucien

schnockles · 08/12/2013 16:25

I have a soft spot for Lucien but think the combination of Dylan Hunter sounds better than Lucien Oliver. It flows better somehow.

BunnyLebowski · 08/12/2013 16:26

Dylan Oliver.

Or Flynn Oliver.

Both lovely.

Hunter is dreadful and Lucien is poncetastic.

MoFoe1 · 08/12/2013 16:30

Dylan or Flynn...Grin

TheFutureSupremeRulersMum · 08/12/2013 16:31

I like Dylan or Lucien best but Flynn is also very nice. I think Oliver is much better than Hunter.

Dylan.

Though having said that it depends on if you're going to say it with the correct pronunciation - duh-lan. If not I'd suggest you use Dillon, which is Irish I believe.

LynetteScavo · 08/12/2013 19:16

Every other boy around here seems to be called Dylan, which is why I;d go for Flynn.

Lucian is a bit poncey, but OK if you can carry it off.

Saminthemiddle · 08/12/2013 19:17

Lucien, then Flynn, really don't like Dylan.

IslaValargeone · 08/12/2013 19:18

I think Lucien is a bit fey tbh.
Like the others though.

Leeds2 · 08/12/2013 19:29

None are really to my taste, but I would choose Flynn. I prefer Oliver to Hunter.

youbethemummylion · 08/12/2013 19:35

Not Flynn I like Finn but Flynn just sounds wrong to my ears for some reason. Like Lucien over Dylan a lot of Dylans around at the moment.

StrawberryMojito · 08/12/2013 19:37

Really like Dylan and Flynn. I know a Dylan who is a great lad.

To say I'm really not keen on Lucien would be puttin it mildly.

Flossiechops · 08/12/2013 19:39

Dylan but then I'm biased because I have one. A gorgeous name for my a gorgeous boy Grin

ToffeeJungle · 08/12/2013 19:39

In order of preference:
Dylan
Flynn
Lucien

Flossiechops · 08/12/2013 19:40

Ps there aren't any other Dylan's at my ds school x

WednesdayRebel · 08/12/2013 22:42

Agree with those who've expressed strong dislike for Lucien.

Dylan and Flynn both great, and prefer Oliver to Hunter

ProfondoRosso · 08/12/2013 22:47

I actually love Lucien. And in my mind, Lucien is a tough, creative romantic, like the artist Lucien Freud. Lucien Oliver is great.

Going to be even more contrary and admit I'm not at all fond of Dylan or Flynn! Grin

southerngirl25599 · 08/12/2013 23:25

Really like Flynn and it's not to popular either. Quite like Dylan too but really don't like the name Lucien

skizzo · 09/12/2013 04:33

Flynn because its not as overused as Dylan, and it sounds better than Lucien.

sonnieboo · 09/12/2013 06:55

Really like Lucien! Cool, classic and not timeless. Flynn/Finn are very overused and Dylan I'm not keen on.

sonnieboo · 09/12/2013 06:56

Sorry, meant timeless (not overused).

DessieLou · 09/12/2013 09:16

Flynn! I love this but doesn't go with our surname. Please use it!

Ham69 · 09/12/2013 19:31

Always loved Lucien.
Flynn is a surname or nickname for someone with that surname.
Not fussed about Dylan.
