The twins were born June first 1986 11:58 am and 12:24 pm. (late announcement)
Twin 1 Warrens, his official name for 4 days, magically turned into:
Dylan Gene Warrens
We always liked the Gaelic and Celtic names. And Dillon kept coming
up. However, we hated the spelling and the way it looked when written.
Being of the 60's and 70's 'mold', I took this spelling. As far
as I know it does not mean anything, but has strong connotations
for us as rebellious and 'make-sure-you-know-what-you're-talking-about'
attitudes.
Dylan looked (s) tremendously a lot like my father Eugene. Eugene
seems an old name and didn't seem to go with Dylan, so we shortened
it. We believe it adds a family tie but promotes change at the
same time.
If anyone knows a meaning for Dylan, I would love to hear it.
Dillon, by the way, means faithful. I should recant, one reference
does have Dylan as being by the sea. Madison, Wisconsin is hardly
by any sea, oh well.
Gene, a form of Eugene, means well-born. Can't argue with that!

Congratulations, Randy.
My baby name book says:
"Old Welsh: Dylan. "From the sea." People wondered if this man
was washed ashore from the sea. Dylan was the ancient Welsh deity
of the ocean."
As an example, they offer Dylan Thomas the poet (1914-1953).
By the way, a friend of mine had a baby the first of July and also
named him Dylan.

Mmmm... and i thought we had given our son a fairly unique name
for this day and age.
Dylan Andrew Tancill was born on march 13, 1985.
Why dylan andrew? We thought it sounded nice, a little irish,
both my wife and i are part irish. We also had thought of the
example of the poet Dylan Thomas, and this is the example we
usually state when people ask "is that D-i-l-l-o-n?", "NO it's
D-Y-L-A-N, like Dylan Thomas, the poet.
Of course being a frustrated rocker at heart, I usually admit the
real truth to those who won't look at me like I'm some sort of
radical 60's throwback, "No it's D-Y-L-A-N, as in Bob."
Another factor in our decision was not selecting something that
was too "common", which ruled out a few of our earlier choices,
Justin and Jason. I don't know exactly why but those two have
been very popular boy's names in the last few years. I'm also
not sure what was behind the motivation to select a slightly
more unique name, perhaps it had something to do with my own...

| 44.3 | Dylan Towne | MMO01::ATCHLEY | Mon Jan 19 1987 20:01 | 11 | |
I've just started reading this notes file, since I'm pregnant - again.... We also have a Dylan, born May 16, 1982. He is Dylan Towne Atchley. Towne is my maiden name. We searched through baby name books and that one just seem to "fit". We also have a David (age 12). Since this will be the last one, it would be really nice to have something a little different!!! I'll be reading the file for suggestions!! - Debbie - | |||||
| 44.4 | How about for a girl? | NIMBUS::HARRISON | Icecreamoholic | Wed Dec 11 1991 18:08 | 8 |
What do folks think of Dylan as a girl's name? We have toyed with
altering the spelling, perhaps to Dylaen or Dylane.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks,
Leslie

| 44.5 | I vote for Dylane | RTOEU::KRICKS | Wed Feb 05 1992 09:56 | 3 | |
I think the spelling Dylane is really pretty.
