I can't use Daphne can I?

[Kayzr]

DP has suggested Daphne for a girl. I love it but DS1 is Freddie. Too many people have seen Scooby Doo haven't they?

Would we be able to get away with having Freddie and Daphne?

I like Dulcie but DP said no! I do have another thread with a long list of girls names somewhere

I am thining Neighbours or Frasier tbh.

I made no connection In fact I thought you were going to say I cant use it as I have a Frasier

I don't get the neighbours or Frasier connection.

Daphne was Niles' love interest in Frasier.

And in Neighbours Daphne was the stripper from Des's stag night before he was jilted who moved in as his lodger and ended up marrying him. She famously gave birth to their baby without even taking her tights off but died following a car accident shortly afterwards.

All this was back in the proper days of Neighbours back when Scott and Charlene were in it, mind.

Daphne always sounds rather middle-aged to me.

I thought scooby doo when I saw Daphne, but still love the name - actually it's my Granny's name but she's the only one I've met.

Just checked withn10 year old ds. He said Scooby Doo straight away, and he's not a massive Scooby fan. So, sorry, I don't think you can.

How about Edith?

Edith screams little old lady at me not little baby for some reason.

She'll only be a little baby for a few months! Don't think about naming a baby- think about naming an adult woman.

I still couldn't name her something that to me personally wouldn't suit her until she was 80.

I think I might give up for know until we know what we are having. Its far too confusing.

I think thats a pretty cool connection! Kids will probably love it, and when they are adults people will name them together less frequently. x

I have a baby Daphne, I love it and absolutely no regrets!! It's a classy, classic name with many lovely connotations other than the abovementioned. Freddie and Daphne are not obviously connected, only a few in the know might twig, but hey! I considered Delphine and think it can be lovely if said with the right voice, but can also hear it with a deep south twang.

I didn't make the Scooby Doo connection but am afraid don't like the name Daphne at all. Makes me think of a middle-aged/OAP woman...sorry but just my association. I also don't think it goes well with Freddie either despite Scooby Doo...

I ddint amke the connection with Scooby Doo - but did think Eggheads !! (sorry, how sad am I??!!)
Dont personally like the name at all... sorry...
