I really really love Dylan! And would love to name my son that. :D

I prefer Dyfan (DOVE-an). Dylan is #16 here and rising. It's okay, but getting a bit boring.

I have met 3 Dylans (1 girl), 2 Dillons, 1 Dylen, 1 Dilan (girl), and 1 Dillian (looks like Lillian but prn Dylan).

That said, I still love the name. My mom likes it for a girl. I do too, a bit, but I like it for a dude. Dylan. Yes, like it. :)

I don't think it's that common really. At least, I've never met a whole lot of Dylans. I think I've only known one actually. I really like it. It's soft and gentle, but it still feels masculine too.

I used to dislike it; then I actually met a Dylan (who is great), so now I like it.

It has an interesting, diverse, and primarily positive history. And since I've only ever met two Dylans, I don't see it as too popular. Plus, I adore the nn Dill (more common with sp. Dillon), but that's just me.

I like it. Some people say it's too trendy, but when I hear it I think of Bob Dylan, or Dylan Thomas. It's an artist's name, as far as I'm concerned.

I've never liked it or understood its appeal, but it is very popular around here and back in Oklahoma too. I have a cousin named Dillon who is about five or six, and I know two Dylans of maybe eight and twelve. I saw a birth announcement in the paper for the other day for a Dylan also.
