Talk me into my husband's faves

[firefly374]

Ok, so there are a few names that we both like, but there are also a bunch that he likes and I don't. I didn't include any that I totally hate in this list, so these are just the ones that he likes and I don't care for. Please talk me into them! I'd like to find at least a couple here that I don't mind anymore.

Deirdre
Diane
Darla
Dakota
Danielle
Demelza
Dot

Oh I love Darcie! Totally forgot about that.

Also like Delilah although the provenance isn’t great...

Why don’t you just use one of the names that you both like

Deirdre god no
Diane no
Darla I like this, but wouldn't pick it
Dakota - this is lovely
Danielle - it's ok, it's just a bit 80s/90s
Demelza - love, and NN Demi is cute
Dot - fine as a NN but I'd want a longer first name

I am one of those names, OP and I don't like ANY of them on your DH's list. I don't like my name. I don't hate it. I just wouldn't name a child my name- put it that way.

Dahlia
Delilah
Daphne was mentioned
Dorothy (NN Dottie rather than Dot)
Darcey
Daisy
Demi
Dana
Danika

@justilou1

Do you know another D word? Divorce.

Why not pick a name you both like rather than a name that one of you doesn't like? The only name name on that list I could go with us Dakota. I'm not sure why as normally I would dislike that name and it could be a marmite name.

Not a great bunch of names. What names do you like?

Demelza is a beautiful Cornish name - and a dab character from 'Poldark'. Still not sure I'd use it though. The rest are dreadful. The only 'D' name I think I'd use is Daphne, which is lovely. Delilah is becoming quite popular and is quite nice.

That’s an interesting list.

What names do you like OP?

He is having a laugh.

I think the reason they are not growing on you are because they are awful. Dot is sweet but is a bit of a small cutesy name for when your DD is an adult. The rest are horrid - especially Deirdre and Darla....

What about Daisy?

I love Dakota!!
I like Diane but I prefer Diana :)

English people’s mispronunciation of Deirdre makes it an awful name, and the others are mostly weirdly dated.

Dorothea
Dara
Dervla
Delia
Daisy
Dulcie?

How about Dinah?
I agree with you Op I don't like any of the names on your original post

How many different threads have you started on this OP? I think I've read 4, all saying different D names. I'm curious why you didn't put them all on one thread?

I think they're all Dreadful.

Doris?

’Please talk me into them!’

No!

You’re right.

From that list, I could use Demelza, I think. But everyone will assume Poldark unless you have a Cornish connection.

Op don't be talked into these your child won't thank you. They are all terrible. All good names for a cat or dog

Is the D non-negotiable?

(Now there's a sentence I'd thought I'd never say...)

I haven't seen your other threads, but it seems like trying to find a name you like that's a particular letter is a bit back to front.

From that list, I like Darla and Dakota, although both are very American sounding.

Dorothea nickname Dot?

Daisy?

Dionne?

I think D is a hard letter for girls names.

Delilah
Daisy
Deana
Dinah
Darcy
Dorothy (over Dot or Dotty)
Daphne
Dana
Dreamer
Deborah

I wouldnt try to talk yourself into a name

I love Darla

Darla is nice. Dot is a nice nickname for Dorothy.
