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

rezzle · 26/10/2012 19:19

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

JollyJackOLantern · 26/10/2012 19:20

Sounds like one of santa's reindeer gone wrong

StrawberryMojito · 26/10/2012 19:20

Not keen.

Aracsmum · 26/10/2012 19:21

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

ATourchOfInsanity · 26/10/2012 19:30

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 :)

TidyGOLDDancer · 26/10/2012 20:42

Not a fan at all I'm afraid.

Trills · 26/10/2012 20:43

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

Dasher and dancer and prancer and vixen...

GobblersKnob · 26/10/2012 20:43

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

GobblersKnob · 26/10/2012 20:44

scottishmummy · 26/10/2012 20:57

dashner makes me think santa reindeer
dashiell wasnt that minority report

LivingInAGoldBubble · 26/10/2012 20:58

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

ATourchOfInsanity · 26/10/2012 20:58

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

VirginiaDare · 26/10/2012 21:03

Not a name.

PickledFanjoCat · 27/10/2012 14:09

Sorry I don't like it very much!

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

DeeMonic · 27/10/2012 14:15

Sounds like one of Santa's reindeer...

AThingInYourLife · 27/10/2012 14:16

It makes me laugh.

That's positive.

picnicbasketcase · 27/10/2012 14:18

Awful.

pixiestix · 27/10/2012 14:41

Don't like it at all, sorry.

"Dashner through the snow..."

NapOfTheDamned · 28/10/2012 01:54
