Friend not on MN wants your views on boy name - DASHNER

[ATourchOfInsanity]

I hadn't heard of it before, but her and her DH apparently both mentioned it in the same night!? Is it a character name in something?

Awful

Never heard of it before, can't say I like it. What about Dashiell?

Sounds like one of santa's reindeer gone wrong

Not keen.

Sounds like a mash up of Dennis and Gnasher .... Awful

Dashiell - will put that to them. Jolly I have to say I did think the same and asked her to spell it carefully to me. Not my cup of tea, but it sounds as though it is a character in a sci-fi thing they might watch or something, so I was wondering if it is a cult viewing thing...have no idea on that front.

Google tells me James Dashner is an author :)

Not a fan at all I'm afraid.

That doesn't sound like it is a name to me.

Dasher and dancer and prancer and vixen...

Dashner and Dancer and Donna and Blitzen.......

excellent x-post Trills, great minds......

No sorry don't like it. He ll be forever spelling it put for people

dashner makes me think santa reindeer
dashiell wasnt that minority report

Got to the end of the thread and realised I was whistling jingle bells, I think it sounds like a reindeer too, sorry.

Is Dashiell from The Incredibles? The little boy?

dashiell was a baldy pre-cog in minority report who sees murder as an intrusive visual hallucination
not a great name for a baby
unless you like a name associated with baldy hallucinating tank life

Not a name.

yes, Dashiell is the name of the boy in the Incredibles. called Dash in the film.

i like Googling things.

Sorry I don't like it very much!

For short he would be dash and I think that's a bit odd.

Sounds like one of Santa's reindeer...

It makes me laugh.

That's positive.

Awful.

Don't like it at all, sorry.

"Dashner through the snow..."

Reindeer here too.

Nul points from me.
