Dylan?

I'm not keen on the correct pronunciation tbh.

My dad always called me a Dylan when I had done something stupid!
So I have to say no :-(

Love it i have one.It was popular where im from when my son was born 19 years ago.Still a few going around.If you like it go for it.

squoosh

I'm usually a stickler for it but in the case of Dylan I much prefer the incorrect way.

I didn't mean he pronounced it as such because of people in South Wales, rather he just didn't like dull-an and preferred dill-an

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

But we don't. Even people in Laugharne say Dull-an. My best mate used to work in the boat house.

Swansea here and I say 'Dullan' too.

Lovely for a boy of a girl!

I know a baby Dylan. First one I'd ever met!

Laugharne is West Wales

I like it

Really lovely (for a boy!). Just rolls off the tongue beautifully.

All the Welsh speakers I know say Dullan. English speakers say Dillan but spell it Dylan and get annoyed when Welsh people say Dullan. I think in Wales if you want in pronounced 'English' you should spell it that way.

Yes, Dullan is the correct pronounciation here in the Vale of Glamorgan. Ds2 has 2 in his class. My dc go to Welsh school though which probably makes a difference.

Perhaps I was born in another dimension then, but certainly the Carmarthenshire or Dyfed i was born in has been known to be in the South for the last 43 years of my life

South west I call it .

Many people choose Dylan for the Bob connection though, and therefore pronounce it Dillon. And yes I know he was homaging Mr Thomas.

It was my choice for DS1 20 years ago but DH vetoed it as being too fangirl.

I love it

Love it, it is my littlest brother's name.

Just to wade into the pronunciation row, we all say it wrongly because we were born and raised in scotland so it would feel artificial to insist on the correct pronunciation. When we are in wales we pronounce it correctly though and all our welsh relatives have always said "dull-an" (Upper Swansea valleys).
