What's included in the Dillon worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital D + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #929; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: gentle; No diagonal strokes

As first names go, Dillon is one of the kinder ones to learn: it spells out with 5 different letters over 6 positions, none of them straying far from the basic shapes of early handwriting. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The double “l” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. It starts with a capital “D”, which joins a straight stroke to a curve — draw the line first, then add the curve to it. Because Dillon was the #929 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Dillon tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Dillon:

D — A big line down, then back to the top and one big curve out to the right that lands on the bottom of the line.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline. Dillon uses it twice.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.

The tall strokes in Dillon come from “D” and “l” — three of its 6 letters reach the top guide line. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Dillon runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 64 of the 965 boys' names.

Dillon was the #929 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Dillon

Try “Dil”, breathe, then “lon” — halving Dillon turns one long word into two easy wins.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Dillon: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Treat the repeated “l” as a bonus rep — tracing the same letter twice in a row is how a shape stops needing thought.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tall, tall, small, small” — the size pattern of Dillon sticks faster when it has words.
Close with a single unguided Dillon on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Two tracing styles: dotted outlines — the classic preschool form — or solid light-gray letters for writing directly over the full shape. Whichever you pick, the example row keeps Dillon in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

The size option changes the guide-line height. Dillon fits at every setting; the large lines are the friendliest starting point, and stepping down makes a natural next milestone.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Dillon print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
