How to say the dog's name

Here was our conversation @ the dinner table tonight over chicken soup:

Me & Cheryl: "Meka, say Dylan."
Meka: "Nah." (That's how she says Dylan)
Me & Cheryl: "Say Dil"
Meka: "Dil"
Me & Cheryl: "Say Lin"
Meka: "Lin"
Me & Cheryl: "Say Dil-lan"
Meka: "Nah."

Laugh & repeat...
