Is it...abit...dare I say......Chavish?

[Flubdub]

Im due ds2 at the end on april, and me and dp cant decide on a name. I like the older names like Jack, but everyones called that, and Jake, Oliver, Josh, and have a son (3yrs) called Alex. But dp isnt his dad, so had no say in his name.
Dp likes 'wierd' names like Sole (no, its a baby, not a fish dp!), and Chester (dog), and the only name we can remotely agree on is Dylan, but family members have commented that maybe its a bit 'common', and in chavish (please dont shout at me for using that word, I cant think of another that would explain what I mean).
So, is it?

Dylan isn't chavvy at all I really like it What about Max?

I love the name Dylan.
Reminds me of Dylan Thomas.
And The Magic Roundabout!

liking dylan

I don't think it is solely a 'common' name tbh. It makes me think of the poet.

dylan a bit of a scally name i think

It's not chavish, but it is a bit, er um...Welsh?

I think it's a Welsh name.

I think it's a bit 'scally' too

Dp already has a son called Max.
Scally? Nooooooooooooo

Welsh? As in, actually Welsh?

Am not keen on Dylan at all but I dont think it is chavvish.

Just not a 'real' sort of name (imho)

what about Zachary?

Alastair
Benedict
Charlie
David
Edward
Frankie
George
Harry
Ivan
Joe

definitely Welsh!!!!!

I think Dylan is ok. What about Seth - that's an old name but with a bit more of a modern zinng to it? Or my really way out name for a boy is Orlando. Dh was very keen on that for our last, me less so. She was a girl anyway

I want Jack, always have since I was little - Damn all these other people calling their son Jack!
But.....tell me.....Dps names are wierd, and they?

arnt they?

you mad lol

it is welsh

and it is my dgs name

if you like jack then call him jack. who cares if other people are called it? loads of kids are caled dylan and it's not even a nice name!

Will dp go for Jacques? Giacomo? Something you can surrepticiously shorten to Jack later?

A good technique is to wail when he is born "Oh but he just looks like a Jack - can we can we pleeeeease?" Your dp will be very vulnerable to babyname guilt attack at that point I have know women have success with this technique. Good luck!

in Welsh it is pronounced "Dull-an" not "dilan".

tmmb!!!

i think it is a lovely name

WT - that might just be my new plan actually!! But I dont want ds to be called the same as everyone else.

what?
i absolutely do not get this 'i like this name but i hearsd someone else call their kid it' thing. so what? a child is unique because of who he is not because what he's called.

Dylan reminds me of a dogs name, my parents had a great dane called Dylan !

I think you should go for the name Jack, i love the name could not use it for my own son as have a couson called jack, i also love Josh & oliver.

But a class full of 10 Jacks is a bit clone-ish.
