Your favourite names beginning with D

[ProfessorPickles]

Either for a boy or a girl, what are your favourite baby names beginning with D?

I'm more of a fan of traditional names but would love to hear any suggestions!

Dinah or Deborah for a girl. Dominic or Diego for a boy.

I know a little girl known as Dolly, but her full name is Dorothea.

Also like Daphne and Dinah.

For boys, David is very solid. Must say, having read the Red Rising trilogy, my first thought was "Darrow" for a boy - which I quite like even though I'm not a fan of "surnames for boys first names". (Plus he would spend a lifetime explaining that he's not called Darren)

Although OP - why D?

Daphne, Dana, Danah, Davina, Dora.
My favourite is probably Danah. Or maybe Daphne, not sure :)

Dean, David, Derrick, Davi.

Dylan, Dominic, Dexter

Girls, no idea. I just checked the ONS list and there are only about 3 girls names in the top 300 that begin with D. All horrible too. I don't like any of the ones listed in this thread either. God, I hope I never have a daughter and some random reason that I MUST give her a name that starts with D.

Dorothea
Delmy
David
Darklis
Dougal

I was just asking for D names because my surname begins with a D! Sometimes I think names sound really good like that but none are working because I have a crap surname

Rachel Riley is a good example, there's better examples but I can't think!

I like Dominique for a girl and Dexter for a boy.

Darcy, Dolcie and Dolores

Dexter, Dashiell, Dylan for a boy

Danielle for a girl

Darragh
Daniel
David
Dominic
Dallin
Dashiell
Dawson
Douglas
Duncan
Dennis

Dorothy
Devon
Dinah
Darrell
Delilah
Della
Diana

Daphne
Delia

Daniel
Dylan

I once knew a Darian. Always rather liked his name.

Daniel and David are my faves though. Forever sad that I didn't have twin boys.

Dorothy (Dolly for short) and Daisy for girls.

Dominica. Dorothea. Dorothy.
Damien. Daley.

Daniel
David
Darren

Derran
Daisy
Doreen

I like Daniel and Dominic for a boy or Daisy for a girl.

I love Delia. DH vetoed it on the grounds of it reminding him not just of Delia Smith but specifically her drunkenly ranting "let's be having it" at the Norwich ground

Not personal favourites, but I don't think these have been mentioned yet (apologies if they have):

Darwin
Dougal
Diarmuid
Dennis
Dunstan
Donnachadh
Dorian
Drusus
Darach/Darragh/Dara

Demeter
Dilys
Dorcas
Demelza
Dervla
Dymphna
Davina
Darina
Derryth
