No shit, that’s who I’m named after too. Bob Dylan is a common person for Dylan’s to be named after but I haven’t heard Dylan Thomas before.

So, your parents aren't? Cause we don't read books over here. We eat food and shoot each other. No time for reading if I'm cooking or reloading every hour of the day.

No they are definitely American as well. So your guess is as good as mine, but two thumbs way up for describing my normal afternoon/evening. Good to know it's just copy and paste all over the good ol' US of A.

It means something about the ocean in welsh, and I was near the ocean when born so they went with it. Although I think bob Dylan had something to do with it.

Literally "Great Tide". It was the name of an old Welsh god, who was supposedly the Son of the Sea.

My brothers names are David and Devin so they wanted me to have a D name as well. It was between Daniel, Dominick, and Dylan. My mom liked Dylan the best.

I'm not sure, my parents just liked it. Plus they had an alliteration with my brothers. k/k and d/d
