Today I found out I am having a boy! I am so over the moon. I couldn't think of girls names.
My favorite name is Dylan followed by Theodore (Theo or teddy) when I say this to family they said Theodore.
Any others to add on my list ?

They're both great names. Theodore sounds more substantial but Dylan is more unusual at the moment.

I love Theodore but really not keen on Dylan. I also love the name Josiah

Both lovely names but personally I'd go with Dylan because I know lots of little boys names Theodore/Theo/Teddy.

Other suggestions:

Flynn

They are quite different in style. What do you like about them?

Mybobowler · 05/11/2020 12:32

Love Dylan, great name. Honestly can't comprehend the sudden love for Theodore/Theo/Teddy - they're EVERYWHERE.

foreverfrustrated09 · 05/11/2020 12:51

Thank you all for the suggestions ! Honestly I live Dylan and keep coming back to it so
Think it will be the one I go for. Its nice to see a lot of people think it's a lovely name ! Think that's why I was going Theo as family didn't like Dylan.

Enough4me · 05/11/2020 14:25

OP it's your choice and your family will think it's a great name if you go with it I'm sure.

It's a name that would definitely grow on me if I heard it more and it's not made-up or bizarre, one spelling, so I like it.

Tweetypietwo · 05/11/2020 20:04

I like Dylan best, I quite like the Dillon spelling, I belive it is welsh?
