It's far too popular where I live. If you're in the States, I think it's nice but would blend in too much with all these other Irish names ending in "an" that are trendy right now._____________________________________________________________________"[David Gest] looks like he's had a lot of plastic surgery done, but not by a plastic surgeon."Elinor

I like it. Though I think I'd prefer the welsh name Dylan just a bit more. It's kind of close to Declan - 2 syllable, start with 'd', 2nd syllable is 'lan'.

I also love it. If DH and I ever used an Irish name for a boy, this would be the one.

I don't care for it. I find it harsh sounding, and I don't find it at all strong or masculine sounding.

I love it. It's a great Irish name, but not overdone like so many others right now, like Aidan, Connor, Liam, etc.
