What do you think to the name Dean? Dated or due a comeback?

What happened to Nigel and Gary?

Will they ever make a come back?

I say yes name him Dean, or Nigel or Gary.

Oddly the only Dean I’ve ever met is in his 80s, so born in the late 1930s. His parents were clearly ahead of the curve if everyone else associates it with the 1980s! He’s lovely, but it’s an awful name I’m afraid…

Moier · 17/01/2024 11:02

Not to my liking.
But l love Dane.
Choice for my second if been a boy.

DuchessOfSausage · 17/01/2024 11:12

I like it but it's a bit 1970s.

He has an escort and wears a bad leather jacket.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's lovely, I know about four under 10 years old

Where do you live?!

peaceinourtime · 19/01/2024 15:40

Yes Dean Is a lovely name. As is Joel which I was thinking of yesterday. A nice refreshing change from the names of the day Alfie, Theo, Teddy et al

OhItsOnlyCynthia · 19/01/2024 15:43

Dean, Lee, Darrell, Darren, Lance. They're all the same person.

CharlotteMakepeace · 19/01/2024 15:46

I like it as I love Dean Stockwell as an actor and Dean Cain as a person.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 20/01/2024 00:06

Dean is nice.
Deacon
Dexter
Declan

Pemba · 20/01/2024 06:09

Urgh no, not a nice name at all, even when it was in fashion.

DameKatyDenisesClagnuts · 20/01/2024 21:13

Awful drippy name

VeryUninspired · 20/01/2024 21:14

I love it, you should have another son called Sam :)

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 20/01/2024 22:03

Or a daughter called Pearl.

Mumaway · 20/01/2024 22:18

Soooo dated, and also never a particularly good name.

It's probably due a comeback. Jason is already back in vogue as is Colin so don't see why Dean shouldn't.

Copperoliverbear · 20/01/2024 22:30

Dated. X

lightelmqueen · 20/01/2024 22:31

I actually really like it. I like short, 1 syllable names for bots. I don't really know if it is dated as I'm in my mid thirties and have never actually met a Dean

SuperFurryCat · 21/01/2024 00:13

I hate the name Dean. It’s dated, the ones I’ve known in my life have all been the type that lose in life, and also I don’t really like very short names.

nocoolnamesleft · 21/01/2024 00:25

I'd assume Supernatural fan. (Which is not a bad thing)

garlictwist · 21/01/2024 02:51

What about Dene and then it's got more of a nature theme?

DuchessOfSausage · 22/01/2024 09:16

Dene looks feminine. There's a village near me called (something) Dean. I think the dean is the same as dene.

I quite like Dean as a name, but it does seem a bit dated and I'd expect a Dean to have friends/brothers called Lee and Scott.
