Would welcome thoughts?

I am in love with the spelling - it looks like an Old Testament angel or something. But dee-ell reminds me of Dell-boy...

Thoughts?

COME BACK OP!!!!!

(And don't dilly dally on the way)

BackforGood · 08/02/2019 00:00

I clicked to see if it was a typo or if you really mean "dillied, and dallied" like the song Confused

MyOtherProfile · 07/02/2019 23:36

Dying to know if OP really meant Dallied. How do I get "My old Man" to stop playing in my head now?

PrismGuile · 07/02/2019 23:28

As in dallied around? Faffed?

MelinaM · 07/02/2019 23:24

Dalziel is that what you mean? ..or is it really dallied, as in dilly dally?! Confused

Sophronia · 07/02/2019 22:36

I know a Dallin

KatherinaMinola · 07/02/2019 18:54

Must mean Dalyell or Dalziel. I like them.

thinkfast · 07/02/2019 18:50

It's not a name I've come across, but given it means to waste time and dawdle, I'm not keen on it

JumpOrBePushed · 07/02/2019 12:57

Is Dallied a typo? Can’t see how you’d get the pronunciation Dee-ell from that.

If it’s not a typo, then the definition of dallied would put me right off using it as a name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/02/2019 12:55

Don't Dilly Dally on the way.

But I Dillied and Dallied. Grin

Dimsumlosesum · 07/02/2019 12:22

What, as in, dilly-dallied?? Confused

cushioncovers · 07/02/2019 12:20

Dallied? Is that what you meant op?

Sexnotgender · 07/02/2019 12:20

Dalziel is Scottish but it’s a surname.

I think you’d struggle with anyone not Scottish knowing how to pronounce it. It’s like Menzies, everyone pronounces it wrong!

Zoflorabore · 07/02/2019 12:19

I thought it was a typo too.

Op what on earth are you thinking? Pregnancy hormones can be tough but this is just horrible. It doesn't even sound like a name. It's a word.

ChubsyMcChubFace · 07/02/2019 12:16

The op must mean Dalziel. Makes me think ...and Pascoe, but I think I’m showing my age a bit there... and showing my terrible weakness for crime dramas Blush.

Hmmmmm I don’t know how I feel about it as a baby name tbh. Is it Scottish? There are some beautiful Scottish names;

Rory
Hamish
Fergus
Innes
Struan
Gregor
Angus
Magnus

I could go on! I prefer all of these to Dalziel myself. But it isn’t my baby Grin.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 07/02/2019 09:22

I like Dalziel. Is that what you meant?
