There are many about. Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing.

I like it. All the Dylans I know have ginger hair as well. Seriously!

i really like it. had it on my list for all 3 boys, but haven't used it yet. big Dylan Thomas fan myself though
it is fairly popular

pandaseyes · 09/12/2009 20:08

It is a lovely name. Not chavvy at all.

It will probably date though but not in a Kevin:Jayden type way.

weird i know a ginger Dylan!!

LaTrucha · 09/12/2009 20:13

Great name. Did you know it's pronounced differently in Wales? More like Dulen. Thought you might like to know.

Thanks, my other choices are Caiden and Dexter. Do you ladies think Dylan is the best one.

oooh love Dexter too.
def Dylan or Dexter.

really don't like Caiden. i am not sure why, but i don't like any of those names like Brayden/Kayden/Theydon

pandaseyes · 09/12/2009 20:18

Yes it's the best of the three in my opinion.

Caiden IS the C word and will date like Kevin and Dexter is a surname-come-trendy-celeby-name.

For me it's the stoned rabbit on Magic Roundabout (and that's great) - I'm very very old.

LaTrucha · 09/12/2009 20:19

Dylan the best.

PrincessTweetz · 09/12/2009 20:20

Just had a lil giggle...my nephew is a Dylan & he has ginger hair as well lol

RnB · 09/12/2009 20:21

caiden is pretty awful imo. Dexter is cool. Dylan is fine but v popular

5inthesleighbed · 09/12/2009 20:26

I prefer Dexter. I heard that name a few weeks after having ds3, and so wished we had called him that now (He isn't Dylan btw)

Rhian82 · 09/12/2009 20:29

I love it. We might have used it (DH and I both Welsh) but our surname begins with a 'D' so we thought it would sound odd!

sounds about right!

pippylongstockings · 09/12/2009 20:39

Dylan is lovely and popular - there are 2 in my DS class so they are known as Dylan X and Dylan Y.

Dexter is brill - really like that alot.

anamaria22 · 09/12/2009 20:49

I don't like Dylan at all, I'm afraid.

sophiesmummie · 09/12/2009 21:07

Don't like Dylan, nor Caiden.

Dexter is ok.

MamaLazarou · 10/12/2009 08:14

I like Dylan - it's one of the better popular names at the moment, IMO. It's quite a 'cool' name.

I know a gorgeous Dylan: he is 5 and has fabulous hair and cool dress sense and everyone loves him.

Dexter is also nice, and I like the nickname Dex.

Really dislike Caiden, though, I am afraid. There's nothing nice about it.

birdofthenorth · 10/12/2009 12:10

My 7 yo stepdon has Dylan as a middle name and I love it. Do it! Classy, celtic and cool.

mathanxiety · 10/12/2009 16:40

Dylan is the nicest, imo, followed by Dexter. Hate Caiden/Cayden/Kaiden/Kayden/Jayden blah blah

baby2onitsway · 10/12/2009 17:01

I love it, it's my DH's favourite from our list.
