I have never met a Declan in real life. I also think it is adorable and flows well with Pierson.

I heard it for the first time when family members of my friends named their son Declan. I think it goes with Pierson very well!

I've heard it, but don't know anyone with the name personally.

I went to college with a Declan and there's a character with that name on Revenge. That's my only actual knowledge. I wouldn't say it's popular, but I don't think it's unusual anymore either.

I only know one Declan (he's 2 I think). It flows very well with Pierson!

I live in a traditionally Irish neighborhood of Boston and have encountered several adult and child declans. I wouldn't say it's super popular, though. I'd check with the ssa for popularity in the rest of the country. I think it goes nicely with Pierson.

The first and only time I heard the name was Jennufer Anniston's character from "Just Go With It". I like the name though.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think that was "Devlin"
I've never met a Declan in real life, but wouldn't be surprised if it's on the upswing. All the Aidans kind of inspired people to want an Irish name that's less popular, which seems to have been taken over by "Liam"s. I could see Declan being the next wave of popular Irish boys names.

I know quite a few in the under 2 range. It's been climbing popularity charts pretty steadily; it's in the top 100 now.

Like @mrsmate said, it's more common in our area (boston). Sounds nice with Pierson!

It's not too popular... about the same as P's name (somewhere between 150-200)! I think it goes great with Pierson too!!! I'm okay with any boys name out of the top 100 (prefer girls names even farther ranked).

Ha, this is what we're naming our LO due in November. I don't think it's a super popular name yet, but then our of the top 10 or 20 is good enough for me. We still have friends (with kids) that have never even heard of it. Oh and I live outside Boston.

I think it probably is slightly on the upswing, but still far from being what you'd call a "popular" name. But common enough that more people will know how to spell it.
I have a FB friend with a Declan, but she spelled it a super Irish way with some symbols I don't know how to type!

I know one person named Declan, I was friends with him in high school. So he's 28. I hadn't heard the name before I met him, and I haven't met another since! His family is super Irish.

I've never seen the name before IRL. I only know it from the show Revenge.

I had a Declan in my class when I taught preschool about 10 years ago, but that is the only one I've ever known!

I know 3 Declan's! Weird. One older guy and two toddlers - all very Irish families - love the name!

I am a teacher and am yet to hear this one in any of the schools I have been to

I only know of one person named Declan but they don't live around here...I've never heard it used in my area.
I think it is one of those names that is really popular on forums, where everyone says they like it, but not many people are named it IRL at the moment.
It sounds great with Pierson!

I've been seeing it on Pinterest a lot. I don't know any personally, but once it shows up there it's often a sign it's getting popular.

I think it flows well with Pierson, and I don't know any Declans IRL.

Y know, everyone on name berry said they were going to use Magnolia, but we've never met a single other one.

I love, love, love Declan and would've used it for a boy's name if it didn't sound so bad with our last name. I don't know any adult Declan's but I've heard of a few babies.

I've only heard the name on Revenge. I really like it and think it goes perfectly with Peirson.

I love the name Declan but I do think it's getting popular. My 11 month old nephew is named Declan, and my friend's three month old nephew has also just been named Declan. Still a great name though!

It was on my short list, but my husband hated it. I've never met one, but my SIL and mil are both teachers and have a couple each. I've heard it could be the new Aiden. But I still love it.

I know two Declans under two. Maybe it's just popular around here?
