Dylan

Dylan?

Love it.

Don't like it.

3 people I was at school with have named their sons Dylan so it is a bit too common for my liking but it is a lovely name.

Like it. Like Dale even more though, and it has a similar feel but is less popular, if that bothers you.

Love it :)

How would it be pronounced?

Love it. I think Catherine Zeta Jones named one of her sons Dylan and has made it popular.

Very nice, very popular.

Love it (I have a Dylan so am biased!)

When I was 11 my best friend and I swore we'd each have a son called Dylan.

I still like it a lot despite its popularity.

I love Dylan. Always have. It's such a lovely name.

It's definitely not popular where I am.

Although I think Kerry Katona has recently called her daughter Dylan too. Really not so keen on it for a girl. Not so keen on the Katona konnection either.

I did do an implied face palm when I read Katona had called her daughter that. It is such a boys name.

Saying that, Americans call their daughters Bryn which is even worse in my opinion!

Love it and considering it for (as yet hypothetical) DC2.

However all the adult Dylans I know are charming alcoholics, may be coincidence.

Also people mispronouncing it the English way would be annoying.

I like it pronounced properly.

How is the proper way to say it? I am assuming I "mispronounce it the English way" Dill-un :)

Btw I like it OP! :)

I like this name a lot!

The majority of Welsh people in the South say it the "wrong way".

The correct pronounciation is Dull-an.

Mr Thomas himself helped popularise the Dill-un pronunciation.

love love love it (am biased)/- such a great name and despite the popularity surge mine is still the only one in his school (not in Wales :))

It's a great name! None in either of the ds's classes, it's not that popular round here. Agree it's awful as a girls name, why would you when there are so many nice girls names?!

Really like it, it's on our shortlist!

I'm from South West Wales and I've always pronounced it Dull-an as does everyone I know. And when we studied Literature everyone pronounced his name as Dull-an.

I don't think it was the South Welsh, more the US influence in his life.

Fantastic name one my sil is keen on . Iloveit :)
