WDYT of Declan? I've never liked it at all, and even posting this, I'm not sure I do just yet. But I heard a young man introduce himself as Declan the other day, and it got me thinking. WDYT? Do you like it? MN possibilities? Does it "go" with my other male favorites? (Sebastian, Preston, Isaiah, Graham)

Thanks in advance.

IT's nice and it definitely works with the rest of your names.

I think it goes well with the other names you have mentioned. I like the name Declan.

It has always struck me as a name I should like but I just don't because of the vague notion I have that it looks and sounds a bit awkward to me - like it is almost the words "deck" and "land" put together, but not quite. Not sure if that makes sense. Anyway... I do think it would go nicely with your other favorites. Speaking of, I love all of them!

Declan is so boring over here, and reminds me of famous duo Ant and Dec (Anthony and Declan) who appear on numerous TV shows, but it's a nice enough name.

I think it fits with your names.

How do you pronounce it? I think it goes well with the others.

I think I'd like it, except for the trendiness factor. It shot up in popularity over the span of a few years, but before it hadn't even been on the Top 1000.

I think Graham and Declan would be nice together, though.

It's ok, but it's just such a 21st Century name to me. I also associate that title with names like Madison, Addison, Caleb, Kaleb, Kiley/Kylie. It's just trendy and I'm not into trendy.
