How many Dylans do you know?

[Mountainbear]

Thoughts on the name Dylan please?

How popular do you think it is - do you know many?

Dylan is a nice name.
I don't know a single one.

I know a 3 yo Dylan. I think its getting more popular

I'm in Wales and know a few; none of them younger than about fifteen though I think.

Here it is pronounced more like dull-ann - not the same as Bob Dylan.

I know one-nice enough lad
I worked with his mother years ago
I think there might have been one in my sons class at school too but I’m not sure-could have been a Declan
It’s a nice enough name

I know two the same age as my DD (12)

Yes it's a nice name.

Two, both late teens. I like the name.

Hate it. It's a bit of a 'naughty kid' name IMO

Three, all under the age of 10. Perhaps it is more popular here than elsewhere.

Two are well behaved, the other not so much...

I know 2.

Both 15.

I dislike them both…. And the name always makes me think of a shaggy dog

3
Two are about 15
One is 10

I know 2. One in his late twenties, one is 14.

Six. One in his thirties, one 20s, one 14yo Dillon, 15yo and 8yo Dylans and a baby/toddler Dylan.

Are you going to pronounce it the correct Welsh way (Dullan) or the incorrect English way (Dillan)?

I don’t know any.

Three that I can think of. One late 40s, one around 20 and one early teens.

I know several I am a teacher and I also have many Irish friends it seems to more common in Ireland
It's nice though

I'm in Ireland. The baby across the way when I had DS2 16 years ago was called Dylan. Don't know of any others!

My 16 year old is dylan, don't know any others.

X post @HammerToFall was it you?

I think there's at least one,, all boys, in every class in every primary school where I live (not Wales). Like a PP, I think of it as a "naughty kid name", but objectively it's absolutely fine. And particularly stylish for a girl.

Only 1 and he must be a teenager now. Lovely name

I know loads but all teenagers. I think it was really popular about 15 years ago. I don't know any under 10.

I know four under 6! And one in late 30s. Must be particularly popular in my area (not Wales).

One 15 year old, named after Dylan Thomas.

One of my students is called Dylan. He's 11.
