I hadn't heard of it before, but her and her DH apparently both mentioned it in the same night!? Is it a character name in something?

Never heard of it before, can't say I like it. What about Dashiell?

Dashiell - will put that to them. Jolly I have to say I did think the same and asked her to spell it carefully to me. Not my cup of tea, but it sounds as though it is a character in a sci-fi thing they might watch or something, so I was wondering if it is a cult viewing thing...have no idea on that front.

Is Dashiell from The Incredibles? The little boy?

dashiell was a baldy pre-cog in minority report who sees murder as an intrusive visual hallucination
not a great name for a baby
unless you like a name associated with baldy hallucinating tank life

Sorry I don't like it very much!

For short he would be dash and I think that's a bit odd.
