What are your thoughts on Dylan?


(The back up name is Finn (possibly will use a longer name as the formal name))

Don't like Dylan, I'm afraid.

Finn is ok, but Quinn is much nicer imo.

Love it - not so keen on Finn

Quite like it. Be aware that some Welsh people will pn it Dullan - may or may not be an issue for you. Finn is ok.

I'm Welsh- I'd say dullan. Love, love, love the name though.

I'm Welsh and wouldn't have chosen it as I don't like the sound of it pronounced correctly in Welsh i.e. Dullan.

Like Dylan but as Allie said if you are spelling it like that then it is Dullaan.

I like Finn too but prefer Finlay/Finton.

Both names are quite popular if it makes a difference.

love Dylan, it's on our list!

Used to live in Cardiff and knew several Dylans all pronounced Dillan, so I think it would only be Welsh speakers who would pronounce it Dullan.

Nit so keen on Finn.

What about Dillon if you're not keen on the Welsh pronounciation?

I much prefer Finn. Dylan is a bit 90s and I picture Finn as a nicer boy than Dylan.
