... for a girl. Too out there or nice and unique?

OK, it’s Australian references but not attractive ones www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dag

When there are thousands of names out there why choose an ugly one?

Dagnija is a common name in Latvia, I’ve not met any in the UK

Twoinapod · 04/03/2023 23:20

Do you hate your daughter? If you want to be unique there’s loads of nice names out there that aren’t often used.

It's horrible.

Thestresssolution · 04/03/2023 23:28

Wind up def

Monsterjam · 04/03/2023 23:34

Sounds painful

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 04/03/2023 23:43

Is it pronounced 'Dah-nia'? If so, that's quite nice. Wouldn't like it if pronounced phonetically.

zurala · 04/03/2023 23:50

I know a Daghni pronounced Darg-knee, I think it's a really pretty name but I'm not so sure about Daghnia. It sounds like a plant.

TheUsualChaos · 04/03/2023 23:55

At first glance I read vagina.

user1492757084 · 04/03/2023 23:57

No. It's a daggy name.

Cute if she really did behave like a dag but .. it's sound is unattractive too.

CallieQ · 05/03/2023 00:24

This has got to be a wind up

RestingMurderousFace · 05/03/2023 00:28

Dog's vagina.

No.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 05/03/2023 00:58

Vile.

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/03/2023 01:46

It’s pretty hideous

Daggy means unkempt in Australia

Enko · 05/03/2023 01:59

I knew one growing up in Denmark. And also a Dagny as has been mentioned.

I dont mind it as a name its not one I'd use but I like it better than some of the top 10 names.

My issue is always how harsh g gets said in English.

For the two i knew best phonetic would be

Dahv nia
Dahv ou (not quite right I'm struggling to find the soft y sound)

In most English speaking places it becomes
daGG niAh
daGG ny

Ihaveamagicwand · 05/03/2023 02:46

Sounds like an acronym

GeorgiaGirl52 · 05/03/2023 03:17

Dagmar

mathanxiety · 05/03/2023 03:21

So many people on this thread have seen NIA and read INA.

Letter order matters.

PennyRa · 05/03/2023 03:28

I would assume the gn was pronounced like ñ. I think it's pretty

LuckyThatMyBreastsAreSmallAndHumble · 05/03/2023 07:43

No.

Ihatethenewlook · 05/03/2023 07:50

AwfulBeryl · 04/03/2023 22:31

Does it rhyme with vagina ?

I’ve not long got up and I’m admittedly still half asleep, but I had to read that 3 times before I realised it wasn’t a thread titled ‘vagina’. Definite no from me

ZoZoisresting · 05/03/2023 07:57

I like it

Snugglemonkey · 05/03/2023 08:13

inappropriateraspberry · 04/03/2023 22:31

Sounds like a car. The new Vauxhall Dagnia!

I also thought car! It sounds harsh to me. I don't like it.

Bigpinktrain · 05/03/2023 08:20

Dagmar is much better I think
