Reply to: Dylan for a girl by Lucille
I think Mia Farrow has a daughter named Dylan. Some other movie star-type person does as well (I can't remember who). It's not totally bizarre to see a girl named Dylan...after all, names like Cameron, Mackenzie and Taylor are all used for girls now. The trend is moving towards girls absorbing boys' names. I'd make the suggestion that she use a feminine middle name to offset the masculinity of Dylan. She could always use her middle name then. Or she could spell it Dylanne or something feminine looking...I shudder at the thought...but it is a way to use a male name, but still get the point across that it's a girl. I've met a female Brandyn and a Mykelle.
