Dean

I love this name for a girl, and it was briefly used for girls in the 20th century!

The blandest name imaginable, when you say it it feels like chewing on burlap. The pronunciation sucks, it rhymes with bean, and mean, and is the boringest name possible.

Much better than Dylan imo, it's fun to say.

Simple but super badass. This would be great for a middle name.

My mom gave me the middle name Deane. I didn't like it as a child, but I love it now because it's unique to a female.

To people saying that this name is unattractive or you can't imagine an attractive person with this name, Dean Winchester exists and in my opinion, he's hot as hell, and the name Dean most definitely suits him. I also think that the name Dean is an attractive name and that it's strong, and definitely a bad boy type name, which makes me like the name even more. Parents, definitely consider naming your son Dean or at least using it as a middle name if it seems a bit too short for you.

Also, I named one of my guinea pigs Dean...yes it's after Dean Winchester.

Really bad name, really bland and sounds like it should be bean or something, but it’s just dEaN.

Dean is so short and doesn't have much nice sounding to it.

Dean sounds strong and cool.

Boring but classic, however, something about it is extremely unappealing to me. I have trouble imagining an attractive Dean.

Simple, yet classic name.

I really HATE this name despite the famous bearer Dean Winchester. I HATE THIS NAME.

I think Dean is a handsome and cool name.

Cool sounding name.

I love it, it is the best name ever.

I really like the name, it's cool and creative.

I love this name, it is so cute!

This name sounds unattractive to me. The James Dean association makes it a little bit better though. He was a good actor, but sadly died way too young.

Well, there's no doubt it's a handsome, masculine name. Though, I wouldn't use it. James Dean and Dean Cain come to mind upon hearing it. Both are hunks, haha!

I love the name Dean and it always reminds me of Dean Winchester:) it's a strong name and perfect for boys and it's just an awesome name.

I always think of good looking guys dressed in black leather jackets and Levi's whenever the name "Dean" comes to mind.

I love this name! It's modern, boyish, and just downright hot.. my crush has this name too. ;3.

Sounds better as a surname. As a first name it sounds weird and incomplete, like some other one syllable names like Ann for example.

Dean is a name I absolutely plan to use for a second son. I love the simplicity and practicality of it. There is such a 'coolness factor' that comes with the name when I do hear it, which is not often. Two positive associations:
Dean Winchester and Dean Winters :D.

I think this name is so adorable (: I really like it.

My real name is Nadine but everyone just calls me Dean. It's a short, snappy name.

It always reminds of James Dean :)

Dean is such a cute and handsome name! It sounds very nice. What's there to really complain about? ♥ :D.

I like the sound "deen" and I like short names and "word" names too, but I don't like it as a name because of the word Dean. For me it would be like being called Boss or Director, not exactly a bad thing, but not cool either.

I love this name and have every intention of naming my first son Dean. It is strong and masculine but I feel it will allow my son to grow to be a well rounded young man.

I like this name. It seems short and sweet, very fresh and simple sounding, yet strong. In my opinion, it ages well. I can imagine it on a child and it seems to fit adults as well.

I don't know why, but I really like this name! Sounds so refreshing on a little boy, compared to all the Liams and Bradens.

My son is 4 years old and we named him Dean :) we love his name as it's short but very strong and masculine.

I like this name! It's very simple and nice.

For some reason, this name sounds very juvenile to me. I can't figure out if that's a good or a bad thing.

The male form of my name. I don't like it. The pop author Dean Koontz churns out a new Walmart book rack novel every other month it seems. I haven't read any of his uninspired writing nor do I plan to, but he is reason enough to avoid this name. That, and it's another word for a principal.

I always think of Dean Winchester from Supernatural or Dean Venture from the Venture Bros. It's a simple name, like John, which draws more attention to a strong last name. I think a good last name would be necessary. It's very masculine and tough-sounding, though. It also seems intellectual, like when you think of a College Dean.

I love, love, love the name Dean. It has been my favorite guy's name since I was 2 years old. If I have a son, his first name must be Dean.

I really love this name. It's very strong and masculine.

I know of a 6 year old boy with this name, people often comment to the mom how much they like his name, it is very manly sounding and a name he could grow up with.

The name stands for leadership.
