I love the name Dylan as the first name. Bennett is the surname, Andrew is the middle name I thought of Andrew because it is strong and it goes well with both name I have picked. What are you thoughts on Dylan, do you think the name fits well?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Lovely name, flows very well.

Whatsyourflava · 20/02/2021 18:49

Great name

I love the name Dylan

When choosing names you need to consider what the initials look like. DAB would make me think twice. But if you’re ok with it go ahead. Just consider this. Will he want his initials on anything in the future or can they be used against him at school? DAB - It’s not bad but not great either.

LittleTiger007 · 20/02/2021 21:45

The names are lovely though.

Can't ever hear Andrew without thinking of Prince Andrew I'm afraid.

Somuddled · 20/02/2021 21:59

Can see the issue with DAB as initials though. Perfectly fine unless I'm not understanding a reference?

Whatsyourflava · 20/02/2021 22:36

@Somuddled I'm the same, feel like I'm missing something DAB is completely fine, what would be wrong with it?

Mol1628 · 20/02/2021 22:38

Andrew Dylan sounds better but both ways fine

LittleTiger007 · 21/02/2021 14:47

Absolutely nothing wrong with DAB as initials.
I’m just saying... when choosing names, initials are one of those things you have to consider. DAB is a noun, verb, acronym (fish, radio, action and dance). @Somuddled @Whatsyourflava I’m just adding to the general discussion - it’s not a criticism.

DAB is innocuous.

Dylan is a great name. I really like it. Handsome and gentle on the ear.

Imadabwhatofit · 21/02/2021 18:53

What on earth is wrong with DAB? I've had those very initials for all of my 46 years and have not once, ever had a comment about it nor have I even thought about it myself. What nonsense!

Sorry it i think the name Dylan is awful snd Andrew feels very 70's.

RedGoldAndGreene · 22/02/2021 00:28

Andrew makes me think of Prince Andrew so it's a no for Andrew but Dylan is a good name

NotYourReindeer · 22/02/2021 00:42

Dylan makes me think of Bob Dylan which makes me remember the clip of him totally stoned during the We Are The World video, looking like a confused, lost grandad.

I don't mind Andrew.

Is Bennett your surname? If not, it's a bit too surnamey for a middle name.

NotYourReindeer · 22/02/2021 00:44

Have just read the OP properly and see that Bennett is your surname.

WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo · 22/02/2021 00:46

@KirstenBlest

I don't like Dylan. Have you considered Gordon? It's a strong name with good associations - Gordon Brown, Gordon Banks etc.

Gordon? Gordon Bennett???

@RilBennett484 Dylan Andrew sounds lovely.

Forfolkssake · 22/02/2021 01:38

I love this name! It's very similar to my son's! 👏

Hotzenplotz · 22/02/2021 07:44

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
