Hello! We need help naming our baby boy who is due in a month. We found it much easier to name our daughter but cannot find a boy’s name that we absolutely love. We are a mixed couple (I am [name_f]Indian[/name_f] and my husband is [name_m]German[/name_m]/Polish), and we have no idea what the bub is going to look like so we would like to have a few names ready. So far the only two names we can agree on are [name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out what an [name_u]Evan[/name_u] or [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] would look like! Btw, our last name is very [name_m]German[/name_m] and starts with a G. A few things to consider:
Our daughter’s name is [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband is more conservative in his name choice
We would like a strong name
Please also suggest some middle names for [name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u].
I like [name_u]Evan[/name_u] best. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]? Is there a strong family name that you could use in the middle either [name_m]German[/name_m] or [name_f]Indian[/name_f]?
[name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] are good, strong names. With [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] though, I do prefer [name_u]Dylan[/name_u].
I vote [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]! A little biased because it’s my cousins name lol. But I think it’s best with [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]!
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
I personally prefer [name_u]Evan[/name_u]: I think it sounds lovely with [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] (my name, and I have a sister named [name_u]Eden[/name_u]):
I like both names, but I prefer [name_u]Evan[/name_u], as it will age well. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]?
I love [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]!!! So many wonderful cultural references. I don’t get the appeal of [name_u]Evan[/name_u]…too close to oven, and it has nothing distinguishing to recommend it. [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Roderick[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]Reed[/name_u], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]…so many great options!
They are both great names. I probably slightly prefer [name_u]Evan[/name_u], and think that is the more international choice, but honestly they’re both good. Maybe wait to meet him and then decide?
Thank you all for your input and help! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. We will have to wait to meet him before picking one of these. Anyone has any preconceived ideas on what a [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] looks like and what an [name_u]Evan[/name_u] looks like? Thanks!
What I think of [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] and [name_u]Evan[/name_u] look like,
A [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] would have blonde hair and dark eyes with a small, round faces and a medium sized nose.
A [name_u]Evan[/name_u] would have dark hair and blue or green eyes with a more square face and a button nose.
