Daphne (Daffie)

[millzcrawf]

Opinions on this name, I think it's so pretty and think daffie as a nickname is so cute 🤍

Daphne is fine.

Daffie/ daffy means a bit stupid, so don’t do that!

Daphne is lovely.

Daffy (like the duck) is not.

Think it’s going to see a little boost in popularity because of Bridgerton.

I’ve heard of two in the last 6 months. Maeve is another one that seems to be slightly on the up.

Daffy Duck or daffodil - please don't.

Daphne is beautiful.

Daffie is ridiculous. And a duck.

Lovely

I love both.

Daphne -lovely

Daffie just makes me think of Daffy Duck too.

My niece is a Daphne and she is mainly Dee for short

Daffie is dreadful. Not that keen on Daphne.

Very nice.

Both awful sorry.

I like Daphne , not keen on Daffie though

I wouldn't go for Daffie Duck.

I mean, Daphne isn't my favourite, but it is better than being called a duck all your life.

I know a Daphne, she lives in the West Midlands where she is called Daff, or Daffernee. She hates it. What's the accent where you live and how is it likely to sound spoken by locals?

I like the sound of it… on someone else.
Would hate to be called it myself.

I LOVE Daphne and really regret not using it for DD (we just didn’t think of it, tbh).

I’m not keen on that nickname though. Does it need a nickname?

No need for the nickname. Daphne is lovely as it is. It’s not like it shortens it.

I would not like to be called Daphne. Very drab and uninteresting to my ear. Daffy though- that’s really awful.

Had I been permitted DD would have been Daphne. Slightly still wish for another baby girl so I can try again with DH 🤣

Daphne is great. Daffie isn’t.

Daphne is beautiful and do easy to say.

I wouldn't shorten it at all, but definitely not to Daffy (Duck)!!

Very nice, Daffy is a cute nickname.

I like Daphne, and I also like Daffy (not Daffie).

"Daffy" is a no go for me (it's either the Duck or slang for daft/stupid), that sound is the reason I'm not very keen on the name Daphne in the first place.
