Damaris

[DaisyJoy1]

Thoughts on this biblical girls name? According to naming sites it means both 'Dominant woman', and also 'calf' which I'm less keen on, but love the sound! Pronounced with an emphasis on the first syllable.

My aunt was called that, but was known as May.

It sounds a bit like a brand of old fashioned nightwear to me.

It sounds quite masculine to be honest for a girls name, and possibly also a Dr Who adversary.

I've never seen Dr Who so not sure if that's a good or bad thing 😂

Not keen - sounds a but Game of Thrones to me.

I really like it, but then I’m Spanish and it’s not an unusual name over there. Had a couple in my class at school over the years and my mum has a friend called Dámaris as well.

I quite like it

I presume the OP means Damart, but no one under 70 would get that ref.

I'm 61 and got it, we used to have damart pjs.
I quite like the name; it does have a sort of GoT or sci-fi vibe but that's not a terrible thing.

It is an underwear/ lingerie brand, not damart.

I adore this name, it’s very unusual and pretty.

I really love it. It somehow manages to sound very pretty but strong at the same time. I’ve only ever met one Damaris, and she was wonderful - beautiful, intelligent and charismatic. I’d love to meet a little Damaris. I’d assume her parents were interesting and educated types.

The name was very popular 2 to 3 hundred years ago and I’ve wondered why it has become almost obsolete as it’s very pretty and yet strong.
Start a trend OP, the name deserves to become more popular.
BTW apropos the meaning Rachel means ewe and Deborah means bee.

I think I like it. Is it said like Dah. Maaris. Or more like Dar MaR his?

Never heard it before (unusual for me I love names)

Like it, really unusual but I like it!

I love it, nice strong name, not frilly. Emphasis on the 'dam' at the beginning, short A.

I read it assuming it was a male name. I too also thought of Damart- despite being early 40's! If you like it- there are far worse options.

Damaris the university nurse graduate from Getting On. Or Dam a is is Kim would call her.
