Thoughts on the name Dylan please?

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

I like it but the two I know are ‘naughty boys’.

Fl0w3ry · 05/04/2022 11:41

I know 2 - 1 in their 20s and 1 in their 40s. I think that’s it’s a relatively uncommon name though. I like it.

I know of one Dylan, he is in his 50s.

We’ve just named our three week old Dylan, so I think it’s a nice name! I know of a couple other Dylans (older, about 10) but think it’s relatively uncommon round here

@Luluuuuuuuuuu85

I have only met one in my travels, pronounced the 'English' way. Is it spelt 'Dillon' in Ireland?
Sometimes but Dylan is more usual I think.

I know one. He's eighteen months old, and it suits him down to the ground! I really like the name.
