6!

A lot. 12 or 13 maybe more, all different ages. I prefer it pronounced the Welsh way rather than the Dillan pronounciation/spelling.

1 10yo, 1 8/9yo and 1 7/8yo.

2 my DS(21) and Great Nephew(10). Both Dylan, both known as Dyl but we are Welsh.

I know 2. One baby and one toddler. I really like it.

dotdotdotmustdash · 04/03/2018 21:00

School staff here and I don't think I know any well-behaved Dylans/Dillons/Dhillons/Dylons/Dillans either!

Two

Bluebubbles136 · 04/03/2018 21:18

I'm a high school teacher and I really like the name but it is VERY popular and they are usually "full of character" - not necessarily negatives!

user1459464195 · 04/03/2018 21:19

5 plus a cat!

DinoSn0re · 04/03/2018 21:19

2 - both lovely boys.

parrotonmyshoulder · 04/03/2018 21:25

I’ve lived all the Dylan/ Dillons I’ve taught. But they have all been...memorable.

parrotonmyshoulder · 04/03/2018 21:25

Loved

Hepzibar · 04/03/2018 21:28

Loads. I work in education, with teenagers.

Dylan and Connor - very popular, the Kevin and Wayne of their time.

I would avoid.

lottiegarbanzo · 04/03/2018 21:34

I hear the name a lot in the local park. I'd say Dylan and Alexander are some of the most popular names for boys aged 3-8 round here. (Pie, not so much!)

turnipfarmers · 04/03/2018 21:35

5 - 4 rabbits and 1 child.

turnipfarmers · 04/03/2018 21:36

The child one is lovely BTW.

ohfourfoxache · 04/03/2018 21:37

4 - 1 of which is 7 month old DS2!

zgaze · 04/03/2018 21:39

Just one, mine, he’s 8. There are no others in our large primary school and none that I know of locally. It’s much less common than I feared it might be - in this age group and in this area at least.

GimbleInTheWabe · 04/03/2018 22:23

None!

Backtoblack1 · 04/03/2018 22:38

My son is Dylan so I love it. When I was pregnant I had never taught a Dylan but it is very very popular in Wales now. Sadly, lots of naughty boys have that name. My Dylan is a lovely good boy though Smile

PandaCat · 04/03/2018 22:44

There are two in my 6yr olds class.

questabellatreetop · 17/03/2018 23:24

1 7year old, he's very sweet.

buttercup54321 · 18/03/2018 00:24

1 aged 13 and 1 aged 7
