Hi,
can you tell me what you think of these names?
Family history suggests baby's name starts with D but I have two little suggestions of my own...

Boys Girls

Alex Daisy

Dale Danielle

Daniel Darcy

Dean Deanna

Dominic Demi

Drew Xanthe

Duncan

Many apologies that this is another thread but my previous one didn't have the girls names on!!

Dh likes Dean and Duncan, we have to also fit "john" in somewhere if a boy!!
He also likes Darcy.

I like Dominic and Darcy best..

Dd loves Daisy, it's the name of her imaginary little girl, but dh doesn't like the name.

Donovan or Duirmuid or Dermot

Daniella or Davina

from your choices, I would say Drew /Daisy are the best

Dulcie for a girl?
We have a Daniel too

I like Alex or Daniel for a boy. Duncan is OK.

Daisy or Xanthe for a girl, or Daniella (with an a).

Also like gingerkirsty's suggestion of Delilah.

Definitely Duncan or Dominic for a boy.
Danielle for a girl.

I like Daniel and Daisy.

Think it'd be a problem as the grandparents already have a grandson Daniel? I really like it too.
Our 3 syllable surname begins with R so I was a bit dubious about Drew, though I do like it!!

Delilah?

I like Daniel or Dominic for a boy, Daisy or Darcy for a girl.

mopsyflopsy · 09/05/2010 20:29

I wouldn't choose any, personally. But they are all perfectly acceptable names.

DanJARMouse · 09/05/2010 20:22

Daniel for a boy - slightly biased as my little boy is Daniel! I like Drew too though.

Girls.... I dont really like any of them to be honest. I would prefer Daniella to Danielle.
