Dacre- thoughts?

[ThisNimbleAnt]

What's your immediate thoughts of the name Dacre? ( Pronounced Day-ker) Think it's lovely for a little boy but partner not convinced.

No. Paul Dacre (the Daily Mail bastard)

As in acre. Ay-kuh.

FFS 😩

No, OP, just no!

The OP does NOT need encouraging! 🤦‍♀️

It’s like acre isn’t it?

I thought you'd mis spelled a unique Darcey.

It's non conventional so might get annoying to explain.

Same. Terrible association.

Absolutely not, it's terrible!

I also love near an estate agent with that Dacre in the name, so I would say no.

As long as your surname is into 'Banks' or 'Braithwaite'

Tbf I find the pronunciation intuitive- like acre.
But I don't like it- makes me think of a car brand maybe Dacia.

Exactly my first thought.

I'd think you were a Daily Mail nutjob.

Your DP is right to not be convinced. Dunno where you got the idea from but forget it and come up with a nice name for your child.

To be fair, by the time he grows up it might not have such strong Daily Mail connotations.

Certainly if it's a family name. Tudor and Talbot also good. I'm not joking.

Like the Daily Mail editor?

Like the ancient Northern English house of Dacre.

Who even have their own fantastic beasts.

What is this maily dail of which you speak

Sounds modern

It's a tabloid newspaper, where the stories articles may or may not have an element of truth .
It tends to appeal to those who like clutching their pearls.

Avoid it unless you take delight in Schadenfreude.

No
No
No

Hideous.

Just look at the 97% resounding no.

Younique names are not a good look.
