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?

UncleBulgaria have you met MadameCHOlet?

There are now two mners who are wombles and, I think, one called womble.

but in what schools are there classes wherew all the kids are called jack? you might get one or 2 but so what?

there are 2 kais and 2 kians in my sons class and they are meant to be 'unusual' names

Why Jack?
Why do you want to call him by a diminutive?
And there seem to be so many of them...and you can't really differentiate between all teh Jacks as you cannot shorten an already shortened name...?
I think you need different but not bizarre

not chavvy at all. I like it a lot.

lovely name - thinking bob dylan

diminutive? I dont know what that word means!!

bob dylan named himself after dylan thomas

love Dylan, and Max (but that's my name for ds if i ever have one!)

wouldn't consider it chavvish at all

I think it is getting more popular, if that affects your decision

Can anyone think of any names that are slightly different? But not wierd?

my ds middle name is huw

Pylon?

Oh, and by wierd, I mean not Sole, or Ziko. (yeah, thanks dp, real helpful)

Yes, am liking Pylon.

My favourite boys' name is Rowan, which dd2 would have been if she hadn't have been dd! I think it's a bit tree-huggy but gorgeous.

Other slightly different but not weird names might be:

Reuben
Gabriel
Oscar
Joel

Am feeling a bit sorry for mums of children called Dylan reading this thread

Sole is so awful - I'm sorry!

dgs dad wanted him to be called g

I wanted to call my DD Dylan as a middle name - DP is a writer so obvious Dylan Thomas connotations but decided not to as BF told me it was one of the most popular names this year. I still like it tho!

Janeite - hes wierd, isnt he?! Sole, my bum!
Our dog is called Oscar.

RBoxer - didn't know that!

I like Reuben (sp) but think it might be a bit more common now?

Roan (or Rohan) is nice too.

Is Hayden scallyish?

Dylan is a good name. And very much a 'proper' name.

My dh wanted to call Dd2 Pepper...
