I just finished reading a book and the main characters were named Dillon (m) and Laine (f).

Thoughts on those names?

I have a young (8 or so) relative named Dillon so I've been pondering whether I like it or not (or better than Dylan) for awhile now and I just can't decide. I like it, but it also makes me think of the spice (Dill).

I think I like Laine, but as a middle name if at all. I'm really not sure though.

I like Dillon and love the name Laine.

What about Laine do you like? Just curious

I dont know. I think its cute and simple. I like simple (although I can also like really elaborate names-rarely something in between). I also in general am a fan of L names such as Lily, Leilani, Lyla, Lyric (if it wasnt so trendy!), Lanai and Landry!

Oh ok. Cool :)

I have it on my list spelt Layne. I kind of like the 'i' better though, haha. I also like it as a nn (Im not sure for what) or middle name. ALthough in reality I probably wouldnt use it because I like my other L names alot and I dont think I would want all my kids to have L names.

Yeah I understand the not all one letter thing. It would make a good middle name for a child who didn't get an L first name. Just a thought. :)

All one letter is to matchy matchy and your thought is a good one!

Lanai is a name too? I only know it as a word that means porch or veranda!
