She hates Daz and Dazzer - and TBH I agree with her!

Dar?

are you trying to think of names to call someone you know who is called Darren, or wondering about naming a child Darren but wanting to pre-empt the inevitable nicknames?

Dar? Are you mad?

Sounds like a half hearted "Darling"...... in a not so cool way

Dash is quite a cool nickname....maybe not at Christmas though, eh?

She really wants to please her MIL, who had a db called Darren. But unless she finds a pleasing nickname for Darren, it's going to have to be a middle name.

D. I sometimes call my DH this. I like Darren as it is and I think Dash is a very cool name, I'm going to use that from now on Most people call him Daz. I don't.

my hubby is a darren, and some people call him Dar (which sounds alright with a cornish accent IMO) but mostly people dont shorten it at all.

Middle name! Darren is just way too 70s, and Daz is pretty much inevitable. Surely there are other easier ways to please a MIL?

When I first met my DH I wasn't keen on his name as his mates kept calling him 'Daz' but now he's 'Darren' to me and I love it, it's just a lovable name. It's also Irish and very inoffensive.

Hi I just saw the thread I would say Dal for short As My name is Darren and mates when talking say Dal me granddad used to call me Dal to . When having a composition with someone Dal is always thrown in . Seeya later Dal alright Dal mate I know what you mean Dal lol. I hate dazza to only a few people and a ex gf years ago called me Daz . Northerners I think say Daz more as a mate on fb who live up there says that . Darren mean the young great one so its a great name lol .
