Baby Names

Name Dilemma

My husband and I both like Dylan, but recently I've been having doubts and I like Luke a lot but he likes Dylan better........any input? 

Re: Name Dilemma

  • Big 90210 fans? lol

    I like both equally. Luke seems more common/popular, so I might go with Dylan.

  • I like Luke!
  • I have to go with Dylan.  I have a cousin named Luke, and all of his issues have ruined the name for me!  Plus, I had to Luke's in my preschool and one of them had major behaviors.
  • I like both!!!

  • They are both good names!  I think Dylan is slightly less common so I would go with that.

  • Luke. I'm not a fan of Dylan; it's really, really common in my social circle and can't get past the 90210 connection.

  • I feel like Luke is more classic and won't have the associations Dylan does (my mind goes straight to Bob).
  • I like both, but prefer Dylan just a little more.

  • I like Dylan. Unlike previous poster I think of it as being a more common name. Luke seems like a nm and too close to Duke (a pet name).

  • I really like Dylan, but I like both names.

    The only thing with Dylan is some people are choosing it as a girl's name in the last few years - but this isn't too common.  I like it better for a boy.

  • I don't like Dylan. I think it's actually more common than Luke in my area. I also grew up with quite a few Dylan's, so I see it as pretty late 80's/early 90's.

    I'm neutral on Dylan... I love Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas, but it still has a bratty/bad-boy feel to me (maybe because of 90210? I don't know).

    I like Luke. I've known a few Lukes, and they were all nice (and handsome) guys.

  • We are naming our LO Dylan.We love the name Luke though (our dogs are Luke and Ben, wish we'd saved them for kids. ha ha) I think of both 90210 and Bob Dylan but don't care. In fact, our LO will be Dylan Robert (family name.) Go with what you both love.

  • I like Luke. For some reason, I have always disliked Dylan

  • I adore Luke and lament on this board on a regular basis that it doesn't work with our last name.

  • I dislike Dylan for some reason.  I really like Luke.
  • Thanks everyone!

     Yeah my hubby is a huge Bob Dylan fan so that is where we got it from, so it is okay if you think of him! haha

    I've been hearing dylan a lot lately.

     still I like them both, we've decided to wait to officially pick until he is actually here....maybe after I do all the pushing I will get to make the final decision??
