My son and husband like [name]Dean[/name], I prefer [name]Deacon[/name]. [name]Dean[/name] is nice, but a little blah to me; [name]Deacon[/name] has personality. I feel like [name]Deacon[/name] is a little out there, not sure what peoples reactions are going to be. Would love to hear your thoughts on these names.
Thanks!
I prefer [name]Dean[/name]. Its very handsome and strong. [name]Deacon[/name] is okay, but I see it more as a title for a church person than a name. Although [name]Dean[/name] also is a title (for a school official), but it just feels like more of a name.
I love [name]Deacon[/name]! I’d use it if we could but it’s too strongly associated with the Church official in our circles. I agree- [name]Dean[/name] is classic but a little beige compared to [name]Deacon[/name].
I prefer [name]Deacon[/name]. Yes it could be a bit churchy, but it’s funky too.
To me, [name]Dean[/name] is a very dated boy’s name - quite popular over here in the late 70s/80s. Doesn’t feel like a classic at all, sorry!
I suggest a compromise. I love the name [name]Deacon[/name]. Name him [name]Deacon[/name], use [name]Dean[/name] as a nickname.
Another vote for [name]Dean[/name]. Good luck, deciding. =]
I prefer [name]Dean[/name] but you could always do [name]Deacon[/name] and use [name]Dean[/name] as a nickname
I vote for [name]Deacon[/name]! It is on my short list too.
Definitely [name]Dean[/name]! [name]Deacon[/name] sounds like a church official.
I love [name]Dean[/name], and I haven’t totally warmed up [name]Deacon[/name]-the-name (as opposed to deacon-the-church-official).
I think [name]Deacon[/name], nn [name]Dean[/name], is a great idea.
I prefer [name]Dean[/name]. [name]Dean[/name] sounds really classic and nice, and I also pretty rarely hear it around the US, while [name]Deacon[/name] seems a bit trendier and goes along with the surnames as firsts craze a bit more.
I prefer [name]Dean[/name]. [name]Deacon[/name] reminds me of the bacon/beer can joke, and it’s really preppy. [name]Dean[/name] is far less trendy and gives off a cooler image.
Please don’t use [name]Dean[/name] as a nickname for [name]Deacon[/name]. That doesn’t make sense.
I prefer [name]Dean[/name]. Might I also suggest [name]Declan[/name]?
[name]Dean[/name]!! I’m biased though. [name]Dean[/name] is my all time favorite name and someday the name of my son. Honestly I love [name]Dean[/name] more than every other name on the planet. I don’t know that I could ever love a name as much as I love [name]Dean[/name], so to me [name]Deacon[/name] is nowhere near [name]Dean[/name].
I like [name]Dean[/name] best! Reminds me of [name]James[/name] [name]Dean[/name]!
[name]Deacon[/name] makes me think of [name]Reese[/name] Witherspoons kid…
[name]Dean[/name]! All the way [name]Dean[/name].
Maybe I’m biased because I love the name, and also the character on Supernatural.
Another vote for [name]Dean[/name], though I like the suggestion [name]Deacon[/name] nn [name]Dean[/name].
