Daphne

I love this name, and want to add it to our short short list we are taking to the hospital, but DH says he thinks it sounds too much like "Daffy" (ie, Daffy Duck) What do you think?

I have 2 names picked out for DD right now. Daphne is one of them. I am so in live with this name, but also love the other name I have picked (they do not go together as first and middle either...).

I personally really like the name Daphne. It can be cute and sophisticated. One common nickname I've heard is "Daff" so I can see where your husband is coming from, but I don't see it being an issue.

I worked with a Daphne but she went by Dee. She said in school she was made fun of alot and called Daffy. Which is why she started being called Dee. 

I like the name personally but think there is alot of room for kids to be made fun of with the name. As an adult it would not be too bad but as a kid things might get rough.

I can see what he's saying, but I think he's being silly. Daphne is beautiful. 

I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

Really like the name. I went to Elementary school with a girl named Daphne and she wasn't teased about her name

I love Daphne! It is in my top 2 names for girls. I would not worry about Daffy Duck.

I'm a big fan of Daphne! So lovely and underused.

Thanks guys! I think its such a pretty name. My hubs really got me thinking and now Im torn.... I would hate for people to call her Daffy Duck or start quacking around her. Kids can be so mean.

It falls in the category of "Love it but probably wouldn't actually use it" for me. It sits there with Phoebe.
