Dylon

Where Dylon comes from

Dylon hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way

    First appearance
    #3,445 among boys, 9 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

    Peak, #641
    258 babies named Dylon — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1996
    Dylon Powley born
    Canadian soccer player
  4. 2007
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,350.
