I see it as very American.

Dash us a fabulous nn.

Um, I just think of the Incredibles. One of the kids is called that.
I personally don't like it, it looks like you've tried to reinvent Daniel. :/

Nooooo.

Dash is the sort of name you would give to a small, yappy dog.

Dashiell, no. Just no.

Looks made up, sorry

Dash is good, Dashiell is ummm not.
Just call him Dash!

Cate Blanchett called one of her sons this, also author Dashiell Hammett (created Sam Spade) bit of an inspiration, was blacklisted during McCarthyism. For the love of God, don't use the nickname Dash - would always think it was a tribute to a Kardashian, although may be showing my secret addiction to E Entertainment Grin

MelinaM · 11/04/2011 19:28

^Yes anything 'Kardashian related' is an absolute no-no!!!!Grin

MsChanandlerBong · 12/04/2011 19:02

I love it - and the nn too. It is a bit American sounding, but I personally don't think that is a problem.

I love it, was thinking just the other day that if we were to have a boy he should be called Dashiell.

I'm not pregnant by the way. Or planning to be. So you can have the name. Smile
