    Like others, I am mystified by the popularity of this name. I can't stand it, and I personally know 5, count 'em 5, kids under the age of 3 named Declan, Deklin, or some variation thereof. Blech.

    Really nice name and it goes well as a sibset with Scarlet. Personally, I don't think it is as unusual as you think- it is growing in popularity.

    It's not too unusual to me, I'm Irish! I think it's a great name and it sounds nice with Scarlet.

    It's not unusual. It's seems to be trending. I don't really care for it. I think it is clunky and I don't get the appeal.

    However, I do think it sounds okay with Scarlett (which I really like btw).

    I'm not a fan and honestly I don't find it unusual, it's actually popular around me.

    Not a big fan, never have been. It's harsh sounding and I just can't find anything really redeeming about it. I do know a 3 year old Declan.

    I definitely wouldn't call it unusual, I know a few cute little guys with this name. I like it, it is a strong Irish name and has a long history.

    I like it and think it goes great with your DDs name. I only know one person with this name so I don't hear it often (other then Revenge) and wouldn't think it was weird

    I like it! Would I use it? Maybe. It's my BFF's absolute favorite boy name, and she doesn't even want kids. 

     

    I think it goes great with your daughter's name.

    We have an (almost 5 year old) son named Declan. We love it (obviously) and have always received good feedback out it. We call him "Decs" a lot too. Honestly, if you keep coming back to it and mutually love it---go for it!
