Like! Suprised to actually, but it reminds me of spring

MacCrackles · 06/04/2013 08:06

I really like it! DH was not so keen though.

I have always loved the name Daphne. Love it! I also like Penelope, but hate Penny.

Love it....reminds me of Daphne Du Maurier....my favourite author.

flounderscominghome · 06/04/2013 21:44

it's alright - neither like it or not

heronsfly · 06/04/2013 21:44

I like it, reminds me of Malory Towers Grin

Jessepinkman · 06/04/2013 21:46

I like it. And Maude too.

Thurlow · 06/04/2013 21:48

Ooh, I like it. Its not a name you hear very often but its great.

ClaraBean · 06/04/2013 22:29

I really love Daphne, really gorgeous.
It was on my list a while ago.
DD knows one who is about 8, but I have never met another one.

usualsuspect · 06/04/2013 22:30

Awful

exoticfruits · 06/04/2013 22:35

Dreadful-probably why you have never met one!

Rhubarbgarden · 07/04/2013 07:51

I like it.

katolla · 07/04/2013 08:28

Des and Daphne

birdofthenorth · 07/04/2013 10:21

Want to like it but it reminds me of that incredibly annoying girlband Daphne & Celeste, sorry!

Kittykatmacbill · 08/04/2013 19:58

Love it! Really wanted it on the list but dh said no!

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 08/04/2013 20:01

Makes me think of Scooby Doo!

Not one of my favourite names sorry.

formicaqueen · 09/04/2013 23:34

Nice. I also like Josephine, Serephine,

thermalsinapril · 10/04/2013 00:05

Great name! Very retro and I know a lovely Daphne too.

Doodledumdums · 10/04/2013 00:10

Love it!

lisianthus · 10/04/2013 00:19

Sorry, not keen, but then my associations for the name are Scooby-Doo and Daphne the stripper who married Des on Neighbours.

fussychica · 10/04/2013 17:47

...and you get called Daff for short. Shame it's a lovely name.

Exhaustipated · 10/04/2013 19:02

LOVE

bexsus6 · 19/04/2013 14:46

Makes me think of Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot- "and I'm Daphne!"

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

mathanxiety · 19/04/2013 16:22

I love it.

PiratePanda · 19/04/2013 16:25

Absolutely beautiful.
