What are your thoughts on Dashiell for a boy?

Might be due a surge in popularity with the new Incredibles 2 film out soon.

I love it! It probably will pick up a bit in the wake of the new film but the first one didn't prompt too many new baby Dashiells. That was 13 years ago though.

Sounds like a made up name. Don't like it

GreenTulips · 29/07/2017 10:50

Through the snow ... as middle names?

I really like it. Dashiell Hammett. Cool.

glowwormsunite · 29/07/2017 10:50

I like it. Dash is a cool shortening.

Fekko · 29/07/2017 10:54

I though Hammett too. Didn't know it was a character in a film too.

GinIsIn · 29/07/2017 10:55

I don't love it tbh

Salmotrutta · 29/07/2017 13:47

I thought of Dashiell Hammett too!

I'm now of a mind to go and re-read one of his detective books Grin

I rather like the name!

MammieBear · 29/07/2017 14:53

Good choice you get the Nn Dash which is cool, it reminds me of names like Ransom, Dustin, Gideon

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/07/2017 15:36

It's great, love the nick name Dash.

chowmeinchick · 29/07/2017 16:02

@GreenTulips wow😂😂😂

LotisBlue · 29/07/2017 16:09

I wouldn't know how to pronounce it - DA-sheel or da-SHI-ell?

Salmotrutta · 29/07/2017 16:13

I pronounce it DA-sheel but I could be wrong!

SuperBeagle · 29/07/2017 21:01

Dashiell Hammet is just Dash-ell, emphasis on the first syllable.

LotisBlue · 30/07/2017 14:52

I like the DASH ell pronunciation best, but the multiple ways of pronouncing it might put me off

I love it. Gorgeous name. Cate Blanchett's son has this name.
