I really need some input! We currently have a 2 year old son named Dylan. WE are due with a girl in October. We both really love the name Delany, but I think it is just too close to Dylan. DH disagrees and thinks it shouldn't matter, they are 2 separete people and won't spend all that much time as a "pair". I worry about it being too sing-songy (Dylan - Delaney - imagining calling them inside for dinner!)and not seeming orignal. Our other options on the table are

Riley
Morgan
Taylor
Amira

No mn's yet - it will depend on the first!

TIA!

I think Morgan goes very well with Dylan. I am partial to Riley as I have a little girl named Riley, but I think Morgan works better in your case- we are considering Morgan for our baby girl, due July 23rd.

Good luck!

I think they're too similar. My vote is Riley! Dylan and Riley. Yep that is it!

Good Luck!
