Suggestions for a boy name?

My DH name is Dean and his dad is Dale, so I was thinking it'd be nice to do a boy's name that starts with a "D" and is one syllable. Anyone got any suggestions? DH likes Dane, but it makes me think of a dog (great dane), and we know some people who just named their baby that. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

I love the name Dane. I do not associate it with a Great Dane!

I love olk15's suggestions of Drake or Doyle!

I like Drew, too, but I prefer it as NN for Andrew.

I also like the name Dane, btw. At one point we considered naming our DD #2 Mallory Dane. But I do think it's a much better male name.

Drake and Doyle are soap opera names. You could name your son a classic, beautiful name like Andrew and call him Drew. Or you could name him David, Daniel, or even Declan if you wanted to be more adventurous. All of these are established "first" names that have history and pedigrees. I think you are limiting yourself if you stick to one syllable. Good luck!
