WDYT of Declan and how popular do you think it will become?

My husband and I love the name [name]Declan[/name] for our son, brother to [name]Sabrina[/name] [name]Danielle[/name]. We will probably use the middle name [name]Michael[/name] though the flow is not perfect it’s my Dad’s name and I’d like to use it. We’ve had mostly positive reactions but a few negative and I"m just wondering what do you all think? In the past we’ve liked [name]Silas[/name] but my husband thinks [name]Declan[/name] is much more masculine. I’m just a little concerned with this name becoming too popular. I don’t think it will be as popular as [name]Aiden[/name] but I can’t be sure. What do you predict? Any suggestions on other names we might like? He is due in less than a month and we’d like to have a few options when he is born.

We must have the same taste in names, because I love both [name]Declan[/name] and [name]Silas[/name]. I think [name]Declan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] is a great name and I love the nn [name]Dex[/name]. I don’t see [name]Declan[/name] being nearly as popular as [name]Aiden[/name], but I have seen a rise over the past year or so…

[name]Hope[/name] this helped!

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I can tell you that I know only two [name]Declan[/name]'s under the age of 3. That’s not THAT many…

I know a TON of [name]Aiden[/name]'s, [name]Ethan[/name]'s, [name]Evan[/name]'s, [name]Jaden[/name]'s, and [name]Henry[/name]'s. So there you go!

I love, love, [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Declan[/name]!!! I love it much more than [name]Silas[/name]. As far a popularity it’s hard to say. I only know 1 [name]Declan[/name], under a year old - he’s the first and only [name]Declan[/name] I’ve ever come across. I think [name]Declan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] is very handsome!
Here are a few other names I love - maybe you’ll like some of them…
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Wilson[/name]
[name]Chandler[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] that helps, and good luck! :slight_smile:

I love the name [name]Declan[/name]. I don’t think it will ever reach the top of the charts, and I’ve never met one.

Good luck!

I do not think [name]Declan[/name] will become the next [name]Aidan[/name]. It is nice, it is modern it has a cool nn Deck.

When I first heard this name years ago I wasn’t all that keen on it, however, I have come to appreciate it more. I would definitely choose this over [name]Silas[/name] esp as you have a child whose name starts with “S”

I love this name! I don’t think it will get to the uber-popularity of the -aden trend, but I think its such a great name that it should :slight_smile:

I love [name]Declan[/name]. I think this will not become as popular as [name]Silas[/name] will. I know a lot of people using that name or planning to, so I see that becoming more popular than [name]Declan[/name].

I’ve never met a [name]Declan[/name], so you shouldn’t be too concerned with popularity. As for as the name itself goes, I [name]ADORE[/name] this name! I would say use it!
