HelpRe: Dylan
in reply to a message by lbrabathaly
Well, since you asked for opinions- please don't take offence to mine.
I don't like Dylan used for a girl, because I think it is a very nice name for a boy and want it to stay that way, not become a girls' name.
I also don't agree with the "but we pronounce it..", and that goes for whenever I see that, not just you. A name is pronounced in a certain way, and that can vary between countries/ languages, nothing strange about that or right for anyone to say that one is right and the other wrong. However, when people just take a name and make up their own pronounciation it seriously vexes me.
Dylan is not pronounced Die-lin ( I guess Dillon is phonetically right, it just always looks odd
to me).
To conclude, I would think your daughter is a boy and I would pronounce it "wrong".
