Is Dylan (boy) a popular name near you?

PK2 · February 2012

I love this name and we don't know anyone or LO's with this name but recenty I have been hearing it more and more.

According to the SSA website, Dylan is #39 in the state of Alabama for 2010. That being said, IRL I don't know of one little boy named Dylan...

I feel like there was a Dylan explosion about 15 years ago. Since then I know of one or two.

Yeah, it's pretty popular where I live. I think it's a nice name, but I can't help but think about Luke Perry's 90210 character every time I hear it. If it weren't for that, it probably would have been on my list of boys names!

lol that's my point - there was a Dylan explosion around that time because of 90210!

There were three Dylan(Dillon, Dillan) in my graduating class of about 20 people but with that being said I don't know any little Dylans.

The only Dylan I know is my 16 year old cousin.

Ugh I know but hopefully we are passed that now and only the mommies will remember the 90210 reference. I actually work with someone who has teenagers named Dillon and Kelly! Just don't want DS to be one of 10 Dylan's in school. Thanks for the feedback.

I know a few Dylans that are all at least three or four years old, up to 6 or 7. I don't know of any babies recently born or due soon that have the name Dylan.

I know one Dylan and one Dillon - they're in their mid-20's. I don't know of any others, younger or older.

I really like the name but don't know anyone called this.

I have a nephew named Dylan who is 6 and my friend's son's name is Dylan and he is 3. Those are the only two I know.

hmr22 · February 2012

Just off the top of my head, I know of 6 all under the age of 8, if I really think about it I'm sure I could come up with more.

Kimmyznc · February 2012

Yes! I worked at an after school child care program for 5 years and the last 2 years have had my own daycare and I have met at least 6 Dylans/Dillons easy! Maybe more...

It's not on my area's top 25 list. I don't know it's exact standing though.

Personally, I don't know a single Dylan, and I never have based on my memory. I'd say it popular in mind, but not reality.

beautifulstr13 · February 2012

About 10 years ago it picked up in popularity around here. Every other kid had that or Hunter as a name. Not so much now. I actually love this name but because of personal reasons we cant have it on our list.

Jinsy80 · February 2012

Very much so! DD1 has two classmates named Dylan and we also know a 3 year old one.

jallascalla · February 2012

My son has a Dylan in his class (3yrs old) and there is a 5 yr old Dylan (girl) in another class.

g8trkim · February 2012

My cousin's son is Dylan and my friend's DH is Dillon. Other than that I don't know any. It's a nice name and not overly popular. If you like it, use it.
