Not to be a smartass, but roughly 7 in 1,000 (6.504 per 1,000, to be more precise) males born in the United States in 2005 were given the first name Dylan. 1.6 in 10,000 males in the United States (per the Census Bureau) actually have the name.

Quiet, you :-/

I misread my source, the math was solid ¬_¬

The math was solid! Honestly, though, 1.6 per 10,000 males probably isn't accurate either on account of the fact that Dylan has become increasingly popular since the 1990 Census, which is where I obtained the data. An accurate answer lies somewhere between our responses.
