Just Dylan. If you have to change the spelling to make it girly it's a good sign that it's a bad idea.

I agree with lucy
you should just leave it Dylan if you really like it for a girl or you culd always pick another name and save Dylan for if you have a boy

I think Dylan is great for a girl. I love unisex names and I grow so very weary of everyone being SO dead set against them. People are going to use them, might as well get accustomed to it. I'd spell it Dylann.

I don't really have a problem with people using unisex names (I even named my daughter Kimberley, so I can't have a huge problem with it). It just drives me mad when people insist on changing the spelling to make it more girly. I'm sorry but adding extra letters does not change the name, and it's my opinion that if you don't like the original spelling then look again for a name with a spelling you do like.

Dylan is horrific on a girl, but if you must use it, I'd spell it Dillon.

I think if you need to spell a name differently in order to "feminize" it, there are a couple very horrible things going on here: 1) You're ashamed of your daughter's female-ness and wish to cover it up by giving her a male name, and 2) that you're only going to give her a long life of trouble with people mistaking her for a boy when they hear her name, and always spelling her name wrong.
Save Dylan for your son, give her a real powerful woman's name.

I like it just the way it is.
However, if you're not liking the whole 'masculinity' of it, you should either look for a different name.. or find a different spelling.
Though I think Dylan is the only one that looks "right".
You might like some of these:
Danielle
Delilah
Dianna
Drew
Devina
Deanne
Dina
Devon
Dominique
Dahlia
Darcy
Delia
ETC.

Good Luck.

Definitely just Dylan. Dillon makes it seem too masculine (even though it is technically a boys' name). Dylann and Dylanne make it look like Dil-Anne. The other suggestions such as Dylyn and Dylynne are just way too many Y's and don't look like names at all.

Just Dylan, because not only will your daughter have to live with a name that most males have, but then she'll also have to live with a weird spelling.
I like Dylan on a girl, but no need to make it complicated. Spell it the way it is!
Or look for another name. GL.
