I adore Dylan as the first name, Andrew is the middle name and Bennett is the surname. Do you think the name flows well?

Very nice

itsgettingwierd · 26/04/2021 15:39

Love it.

I know a Dylan and he's the sweetest kid!

TaraR2020 · 26/04/2021 15:41

I do, yes. But all that matters is if you like it.

It’s a nice name and the flow is ok. In general, I prefer names where the flow isn’t three consecutive two-syllable names, because they aren’t as interesting. Dylan Alexander Bennett or Dylan Miles Bennett flow better with a shake up in the syllable. But that’s only because you asked; if a friend announced they called their baby Dylan Andrew Bennett, I would just think it’s a nice name and not think any more about it.

I don't like Dylan at all, and suggest you call him a stronger name like Gordon.

partyatthepalace · 26/04/2021 21:37

Yep, v nice.

DramaAlpaca · 26/04/2021 21:37

It flows just fine, OP.

GreyhoundG1rl · 26/04/2021 21:38

Dylan is very Magic Roundabout

Trixie78 · 26/04/2021 21:39

LOVE IT 💕

FelicityPike · 26/04/2021 21:39

It’s fine.

Gordon Grin

DAB, how does that work as initials? Dab hand at painting.
Is it likely to be something that kids will pick up on?

The names are good and sound OK. I'm just not sure about the initials.

RaininSummer · 26/04/2021 22:42

I like it.

Thedogscollar · 27/04/2021 00:50

Lovely name. Initials are fine too. DAB sounds fine to me.
Don't think kids would know what being a dab hand meant!!

Woodlandbelle · 27/04/2021 00:54

Dylan is a very nice name. I don't even think about middle names - that said Andrew is great. But It's a non issue. He will just be Dylan Bennett in most cases. Very good choice I think.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 27/04/2021 02:49

Dylan Bennet is great.
I’m not sure about Andrew. Firstly because the “an” syllable is repeated at the end of Dylan and beginning of Andrew so it doesn’t flow very well. Secondly because sleazebag Prince Andrew has ruined the name for me.

ThreeorFour · 27/04/2021 03:23

I love Dylan and like Andrew too. My favourite cousin is an Andrew. It's a common name. I don't want to let Prince Andrew ruin a nice name. He's just one of many really nice Andrews.

YoniAndGuy · 28/04/2021 14:24

It's perfectly serviceable! I too don't exactly love the double 'an' at the end of Dylan and start of Andrew. Dull - an-an- drew. But - no one will ever say his full name really.

Edenember · 30/04/2021 12:19

It’s fine. Don’t think the initials are a problem, you’re more likely to get the association with the dab dance than anything else among peers (if that’s even still a thing), which isn’t a bad one.

Tal45 · 30/04/2021 12:41

Love it, please don't change it to Gordon

angelaEhen · 30/04/2021 12:50

Really nice

parsnipsnotsprouts · 30/04/2021 12:56

My best friend at school had a boyfriend who everyone thought was cool. Same name. Just throwing that in

Carouselfish · 30/04/2021 13:29

Totally fine!

Amdone123 · 30/04/2021 13:31

It's lovely.

Cindie943811A · 30/04/2021 14:29

Initials DAB are fine. Gordon Andrew B is not!!!
If you like it go ahead, your son won’t have good reason to reproach you in the future
