Dillon/Dillyn as a girls name...
| Sun, 01-22-2006 - 4:24pm |
I'm currently 2 months pregnant. If we're having a boy, we have decided on the name Aiden Michael Byrd... For a girl, I like the name Dillon/Dillyn Marie Byrd- but my mother and grandmother, and my husband's mother think it's "too masculine". Also- If I stick with this name, I can't decide if I want to spell it Dillon or Dillyn...

I like your boys name but am not a fan of the girls name. I know MANY boys named Dylan and can only see it as a boys name. As a general rule, I really don't like boys names used for girls, sorry.

How do you pronounce the names?
I think Dylan are boyname,
Sorry, I can't even see Dillon (any spelling) as a girl name (unlike some names that are technically unisex). The only one I've ever heard of is Drew Barrymore's character in Charlie's Angels - of course, that was an alias anyway, and her real name was Helen Zass (also not a good association rofl). I do like your boy name very much, though. :)

I love both names Aiden Michael and Dillyn Marie are great. I think if you end up using Dillyn I wouldn't spell in Dillon for a girl, that kind of looks masculine. I would spell it Dillyn or Dillan.

I think Dillon looks too masculine, but I have seen Dylan on a couple girls. I do prefer Dylan to Dillyn and think that it looks just as feminine. The thing I don't like about Dillyn is that it makes me want to say Dilly, and then I have to backtrack and pronounce it differently with the n. I don't know if that makes any sense or not, but Dillyn just seems more confusing to me.
JMHO,
Stephanie
