Declan is my wee boys name. It is still very unique where we live and my cousin in Canada has chosen it also because she fell in love with it.

We named our son Declan and 7 yrs latrer I still love to say and hear his name. Many people haven't heard of it and most people either love it or hate it. It is the best name ever- it is strong, unique, interesting, and works well during childhood and adulthood.

My 15 mo old grandson's name is Declan. Full of goodness or man of prayer. He's so cute when he says his name. It's Dec Lin the way he says it with a kind of musical high voice. We're American Irish and his mommy found the name to please his daddy, my son Josiah Emmanuel
