Dominique vs Dahlia vs Darcy

[firefly374]

Some of our top faves right now! Dominique (nn Minnie, Nica) Darcy, Dahlia (nn Dali). Thoughts?

Have you considered Dora? Or maybe Deborah with Dora as a nickname?

Hi Firefly, how are you getting on with you list of girls names beginning with D?

Dahlia is lovely, more unusual than some of the other flower names but very pretty.

Dahlia will spend her life correcting the pronounciation of her name,

Day-lee-Uh ....or Dar-lee-uh?

Darcy is my fave out of those

Oh i just commented on your other thread to say I really like Dominique and Darcie/Darcy. I’m glad to see they’re front runners. Dahlia is nice too.

My favourite is probably Dominique.

Not that keen on any of them really - Darcy would be my pick.

Darcy is nice

I know a Darcia, I think that would be a lovely amalgamation of your names.

I like your 3 choices and think you could go with whatever feels right when you see her little face.

All awful.

I love dahlia pronounced dah-lia but not pronounced day-lia. We ended taking it off our list as it would get pronounced wrong a lot

Darcy. Also Darcia is a good suggestion

Dominique (nn Minnie, Nica) - a bit try hard
Darcy - I don't like it, Darce as nn
Dahlia (nn Dali) - some will say Day-lia.

It seems you are focussing on the nn. They tend to be organic.

How many recent threads have you started on D names? You sound like a minor-grade maniac.

Plus I can’t decide whether you or your husband has worse taste in D names. Dahlia just sounds like municipal flower beds.

Dominique 100%.

@firefly374, just pick a name you love and change the first letter to D.

You could have Dava, Dryony, Dharlotte, Develyn, Diona, Denevieve, Delena, Disabella...

Doco

Douise

Darlotta/Darlotte

This is fun!!

I vote for Dimogen.

Yeah the fixation on diminutives/nicknames is a bit misplaced, I feel. People will likely call her anything but the one you want, especially if you use a made up one.

Anything but Darcy. I like Dahlia best. Dominique is very Catholic nun to me.

Dolivia gives the nn Dolly or Livia or Liv, or possibly Div.

Doë mght get misspelt as Doughy

Dominique to me is a bit character with hairspray and shoulderpads in an eighties soap — probably an illegitimate daughter of Alexis Colby-Carrington who shows up with a revolver and a lipsticked sneer.

Domenica is nicer than Dominique, which is a bit too 'Bond girl' and Dynasty villain.

Sorry op I don’t like any of them either :(

Dominique too much - bit chardonnay/Mercedes vibes sorry!
Darcy - Nah I don’t like this at all very popular too
Dahlia - the black Dahlia negative connotations
