I know a Danica. She's lovely but i have to say I'm not wild about her name Smile

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/04/2017 17:23

I love the name Danica, it's beautiful.

QODRestYeMerryGentlemen · 07/04/2017 17:23

I know a Danika. It's a meh name but deffo a girls one

WindwardCircle · 07/04/2017 17:25

I really like it. Unusual without being out there.

user1483387154 · 07/04/2017 17:30

It's ok. No strong feeling either way about it.

nursebickypegs · 07/04/2017 17:31

I know a Danica, and I jokingly call her Dance-e-ah as I'm a meanie Wink

TinfoilHattie · 07/04/2017 17:38

It's a good choice - unusual but not WTF weird.

I quite like Monica too.

The only Danica I have heard of is the porn star who was involved with Josh Duggar.

ChippieFishieHorshie · 07/04/2017 17:40

Why not?

I prefer Davina, but Danica is a normal name imo.

LynetteScavo · 07/04/2017 17:45

It's not my cup of tea.

mowgeli · 07/04/2017 17:45

I know a girl called Danika she was from South Africa it might be a common name there

Mrsknackered · 07/04/2017 17:46

I know two, one being Dan-i-Ka and the other Da-nee-ka, assuming hoping you're using the first pronunciation Smile

Reow · 07/04/2017 17:47

Hmm, I'm not keen. It sounds very 80's pop singer to me for some reason. Was there a Danita?

I tend to not like 80's names, and I have one Grin

Interesting, some things I did not know about. I like the meaning, the morning star or venus. I also like short nickname Dani.
Much to think about, thank you.

I like it. It's fairly common in Australia.

buttercup54321 · 07/04/2017 21:06

Don't like it. Much prefer Danielle.

CrumpettyTree · 07/04/2017 21:08

Love

BattleaxeGalactica · 07/04/2017 21:14

I associate it with the one on CBB who 'rinsed' blokes for expensive tat trinkets. How about Anneka?

Can't do Danielle, my sister named her daughter that. After they shared they names before their daughter was born I told them that I loved their name as it starts with letter D and that it reminds of a name that we picked out for our last baby if it was a girl. It was a boy and seriously I did not think we will have another.
Now dd's due date is tomorrow and we got no creative ideas but this...
Another one I like is Milana, you may notice eastern European/ Slovakian trend, but dh is against it all though he loves Mila. But I would like a longer name with nickname like Danica with Dani. My sister does not call her daughter Dani.
Oh the naming dilemma!

I was thinking there was one in Girl with a Pearl Earring but that was Tanneke

SuperBeagle · 07/04/2017 22:01

I prefer just Dana. Smile

SuperBeagle · 07/04/2017 22:02

If you want an Eastern European name that starts with D, how about Dasha? It's the Russian short form of Daria/Darya.

Sophronia · 07/04/2017 22:21

I like it. The meaning is lovely (morning star).
