Hubby and I have decided to name baby number 3 Dylan.(Still don't know if I like it spelled Dylan or Dillon though).We have 5 midddle names picked out that we both like with the name Dylan.Now we just need to know which sounds the best with our last name Payne?

The names are: Dylan Alexander Payne,Dylan Christopher Payne,Dylan Connor Payne,Dylan Jacob Payne,Dylan Jasper Payne(this name has special meaning to me and my hubby.Jasper Indiana is where we honeymooned at) and Dylan Kaleb Payne.

Let's see; I'll rank them for you (in my opinion) from favorite to least favorite

Dylan Alexander
Dylan Connor
Dylan Christopher
Dylan Jacob
Dylan Kaleb

My FAV is Dylan Alexander... it "flows" IMO

Hmm, I like these, in this order. I agree that Dylan Alexander flows nicely.

Dylan Alexander
Dylan Christopher
Dylan Connor
Dylan Jacob
Dylan Kaleb

For what it is worth, I also prefer Dylan over Dillon- it reminds me too much of a last name (i.e.: Matt Dillon the actor) and for some reason a spice used for cooking.

Gretchen, I think you're associating it with dill weed lol

I prefer the Dylan spelling as well. I have a friend who used Dillon, and I have to consciously remind myself to spell it right on cards, gifts, etc.

I like Dylan Christopher the best, with Dylan Connor and Dylan Alexander as backups. I don't think Jacob or Kaleb flow as well with your last name.

IA w/Rudi. I like Dylan Chirstopher over all the choices. The flow is off with Jacob and Kaleb(which I prefer with a C anyway). I have a nephew who is named Dylan James.
