Dannalee

[Ljgstorm]

Thoughts for a girl?

As bad as that Playboy model who died. Named her kid Danielynn or some stupid name after the death of her son. Yuck.

In the words of my 2yo DS 'Nnnnyuck!'

Mmmm it's not to my taste.

No.

For an actual person? I don’t like it.

What about Dana, Danielle or Davina?

Dana Lee is nice imo. (But I really wouldn’t hyphenate it!)

Hideous

That is probably the most “Mumsnet” response I have ever read!

I think you may be right!

Urgh- your having a laugh aren't you IO?

Very Virginia Andrews.

Terrible

Dannalee would have a massive JoJo bow.

Yeah I bet she'd also live on a council estate haha amirite and her dad drives a white van

Absolutely disgusting, classist comments on this thread. Wtf is wrong with this board? Dannalee is horrifying but in other threads people are seriously suggesting Calliope and Rupert??

Try to be more subtle in your prejudices ffs.

OP, I'm a teacher, I've taught thousands of children and I just want to reassure you that neither I, nor your daughter's classmates, would bat an eyelid at Dannalee. In fact I even think it's quite pretty. Probably worth asking into account how nasty and judgemental some people can be through, as demonstrated on this thread.

@BertrandRussell Danae is a name in southern Europe. It's not common, but considered a "classy" name.

Just no.

All ok. But I’m afraid what you’ve suggested doesn’t look like a name I’m afraid

FFS. Sounds like one of those white trashy names that John reels off in the film "Ted"!

It's really, badly terrible.. sounds made-up, American and trashy beyond belief. Sorry to be harsh but you asked fgrin. Please don't do this to an innocent child.

This ^^

Chav chav and even more chav

It's not a name surely?

Agree with the horrible comments regarding Jojo bows and chav-iness. If you don't like the name fair enough but you really need to be more subtle in the way you are insulting people!

In other threads people are seriously suggesting Calliope and Rupert

^ Well isn't this comment just as classist? Is there anything wrong with Rupert? I've known several.

For me, connotations of the name Rupert are
a) Rupert Bear
b) Rupert Campbell-Black, the violent misogynist in a few Jilly Cooper books
which is why I wouldn't wish it as a name for anyone.

I think the name Rupert would have less cause for ridicule seeing as it’s an actual name, than something silly and made up like dannalee

Well isn't this comment just as classist?

I didn't choose them as posh names. I chose them as outlandish names,which they are.

My point still stands. Nasty, bitchy, prejudiced comments.

Danni-Leigh? I know one, mainly just called danni now though.

Definitely not Dana-lee.

What about Danna-Lee. Much better

It really isn't.
