I like Declan quite a lot, but Decker is too surnamey to me. It also makes me think of "deck her" (as in HIT her :-/).

Maybe Deckard?

Between Declan and Decker I prefer Decker, but then I thought of Deckard (Harrison Ford's character in Blade Runner). Too weird?

Declan, hands down, even though I can't stand that name either. Decker reminds me of someone who builds decks and hits people.

Declan. Decker sounds like "deck her" like "hit her."

That's my weird reasoning anyway.

Declan though I don't really like it.

I say Decker and all I hear is Deck Her. Not a pleasant though. =)

Declan I love. Deckers build decks, that's all.

Declan. Decker just sounds like a construction company or something.

I like Declan all right (though its rising popularity puts me off a bit), but Decker is nmsaa. I think of double-decker buses when I hear it. I definitely prefer Declan.

Declan

with nn Dec since the K and S aren't in the name, if you really want one of those, my vote goes to Decs

Declan, no question.

"Decker" only reminds me of the verb 'to deck'--as in, to hit. There's nothing particularly charming about decking people, so I wouldn't use anything related as a name.

Love, love, love Declan.

Decker makes me think of Black and Decker tools, sorry.
