What do people think of the name Dash for a boy?

Only if you also have a comma and a colon. Grin

IHeartKingThistle · 13/09/2017 23:13

I know a girl called Dash-Autumn.

It's truly awful and your kid would spend its entire life being mocked and laughed at.

LaurieFairyCake · 13/09/2017 23:12

I'd think of Isis (Da-esh)

LanaDReye · 13/09/2017 23:00

Nope

NC4now · 13/09/2017 22:59

Fine if you're married to Mr Incredible. Otherwise no. Sorry.

SuperBeagle · 13/09/2017 22:57

I love Dasha for a girl, but don't like Dash for a boy at all.

MrsMoastyToasty · 13/09/2017 22:55

It's
A. The name of Queen Victorias dog.
B. A brand of leisurewear

Fekko · 13/09/2017 22:54

Only if it's short for Dasher. As in the rheindeer.

Fruitboxjury · 13/09/2017 22:53

Please don't

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 13/09/2017 22:53

I think of queen Victoria's dog.

Timefortea99 · 13/09/2017 22:52

Awful. Just awful, tacky.

Lemondrop99 · 13/09/2017 22:51

It's ok if short for Dashiel, not as a stand alone name

Ojoj1974 · 13/09/2017 22:50

It's not a name..

OliviaStabler · 13/09/2017 22:49

Heck no

stopbeingadramallama · 13/09/2017 22:49

Please don't.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 13/09/2017 22:49

Wasn't that one of the characters in American Horror Story?

LapCatLicker · 13/09/2017 22:48

I like it. Has to be Dashiel for his birth certificate though, otherwise you've named him after a Disney character...

Liadain · 13/09/2017 22:46

Associations: incredibles, islamic state, reindeer. For an animal it'd be fine, but not a person.

Waytoogo · 13/09/2017 22:46

Its an expression of annoyance/swear word for posh people.

As in, "Oh dash, I've forgotton to chill the champagne".

I wouldn't saddle a child with that.

TheCelestialFox · 13/09/2017 22:44

It's a My Little Pony name

Rainbow Dash

BarbaraOcumbungles · 13/09/2017 22:44

Daesh.

stilllookingforthehills · 13/09/2017 22:43

Silly name

eurochick · 13/09/2017 22:43

Somewhere between a dog's name and what the Beeb calls Islamic State. Awful.

minipie · 13/09/2017 22:43

I really like it - but has to be short for Dashiell.
