How many Dylans do you know?

[Mountainbear]

Thoughts on the name Dylan please?

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

I have a Dylan, and there is one other in his class.. year 4. No others in the school though.

I know 2, one in year 8 and one in year 9

Its a beautiful name. I love the meaning too 💙🌊

2 adult Dylan's. a teenage one and a toddler. So 4.

I know one. I live in Wales.

We know 2 (south London)

2- one is 17 and the other is 12.

I don’t really have strong feelings either way- maybe associate Dylan with the slightly dippy lad on Modern Family? or the rabbit from the Magic Roundabout…

I know two; my friends kid (15 ish) and my mum's last dog.

I had it on my list of names but my husband vetoed it. Also love Django. My mums dog is called Dylan though!

I know one 11 year-old boy.
I used to know a couple of girls too - they must be about 28-30 now.

A 4 Yr old, 5 Yr old and 40 year old

Know 2, don’t like it.

I know a Dylan who is 6 weeks old! Love the name

Apart from Magic Roundabout, just one Dylan in real life. He bullied my youngest DD at school and made what should have been the best days of her life hell.
Hate that name now.

Nephew is a Dylan. He's nearly 1.

Doesn't stop moving, but is the happiest, smiliest baby I have ever met.

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

It's a Welsh name and yes, the correct pronunciation is 'Dullan'. However, 'Dillan' is the more common pronunciation in England, where I live. It's also a perfectly acceptable pronunciation among English speakers in South Wales, where my family live. It sounds much nicer in my opinion. I also believe that even Dylan Thomas pronounced his own name 'Dillan'...?

I have only met one in my travels, pronounced the 'English' way. Is it spelt 'Dillon' in Ireland?

I know of one but that's all - a friend of friend's son, he must be about 15 now.

It’s nice. I know one who is 3

I know 2 - both late teens.

My brother is Dylan. I know of at least another 3 or 4. Were in Wales, seems to be used more here. I like it

I know two Dylan's both in their early twenties. Both named after Bob Dylan. I know one of the mother was asked was she naming her son after Dylan in Home and Away at the time.

There’s a boy in my sons class called Dylan bit of a brute-

An awful lot of them, mainly in their 50s and 60s.All pronounced DULL-ann.
One 20-something pronounced Dillun

I know quite a few teenage Dylan's
( I work with them!)
