Dylan vs. Rhys
Which do you like best for a boy? I really can't decide - I love them both! Or should I just go with something completely different like Owain, Tristan, Gareth, Emlyn, Iolo, Taliesin or Gavin? All of which I really like too.

Well I'd definitely stick with either Dylan or Rhys. Personally I'd go with Dylan. I just prefer it over Rhys.

My vote definitely goes to Dylan...100%. It's one of my faves.Rhys, on the other hand, I see more of as a girls' name, but with the sp. Reese. If I had to use it for a boy, I'd go with the sp. Rhys because it looks far more masculine imo, but even still, the name itself, is girl to me...one of my faves in fact, when sp. Reese.

Rhys, definitely . . .I love the name Rhys!Dylan is very overused here, and I've never met a Dylan I liked, so it has fairly unappealing associations for me.From your list, I also like Owain and Gareth. Tristan is also nice but too popular.

I like both names (and thank goodness you like them for boys!). I actually like Rhys Dylan. Sorry, but I don't care for the other names you've listed.Lissa

Rhys is a great name. I definitely prefer it to Dylan. Dylan is overused and is just nms. Out of the others, I like Gavin (despite its popularity ) and Owain. Gareth is interesting, but the "th" sound at the end makes it sound off to me. Taliesin would be a nice middle name. I don't think that I would use it as a first name due to pronunciation and spelling issues.

I like Rhys best (love this spelling). Out of your other names, I love Gavin and Tristan and really like Taliesin and Gareth. I would like Owain if it were Owen. The others are nms.

I can't stand the Rice spelling . . .It's completely counter-intuitive for pronunciation. Rhys makes sense; Rice doesn't.

Semi-guiltily...I'd like the name Rice said like rice, if it wasn't for the food. As it is now it'd be pretty hard to sneak it past people.

So is Rice...Not always (it's also pronounced r-eye-ce, like rice that you eat) but 'reese' is an acceptable way to pronounce it too.

She intended it to be said Rice, which is why I said it.

I would say Rhys definitely. Dylan is too popular. Out of the others, I like Owain but prefer Owen or Eoin. I don't like Tristan, Gareth, Emlyn or Gavin. I like Iolo and Taliesin.

Using the Big Book of British Myth to choose a name?I like Rhys and Gareth best.Dylan - too common
Owain - prefer the sound of Owen
Tristan - hate it
Emlyn - looks like some trendy girls name
Taliesin - just over the top
Gavin - ok

Guess I do have a somewhat "mythological" taste in names, lol. I just like names that are connected to legends and such and want to name my future son something along those lines. Don't worry, I do like other names too. =)

I like both Dylan and Rhys, but I think I'd have to go with Dylan. But, now that I look at your other list, I like Tristan best out of all of them.
People, in general, would rather die than forgive. It's that hard. If God said in plain language, "I'm giving you a choice, forgive or die," a lot of people would just go ahead and order their coffin.
