My cousin's ex husband is a Dylan (nearly 60) and I know a early 20's one. - Both named after the poet not the 90210 character!

I checked births deaths marriages in NSW out of curiousity because I would have said Dylan was popular but is declining and I was right.

It was #19 in 2004/2005, then #26, #29, # 30, #33 and last year #36.

I don't know any at all.

I did know one back when I was in primary school, so he would be in his late 20's now.

My son's middle name is Dylan. Wanted it as a first name but couldn't due to personal reasons.

I don't think it's all that popular.
CleverChook
I've taught many, so it's probably a name that was a bit more popular in the 1990s (probably following on from 90210, no doubt).

I do know a 5 year old, but he's Dillon rolleyes.gif .
Azul
I know a Dylan who is 3.
ali3divinegirls
Have a nephew Dylan (after Dylan Thomas, Welsh poet) and several (at least 3) in the school where I teach. I like the name but hate hearing it shortened to Dyls. sad.gif
