I truly love my name and really grateful my mom picked it. When i was younger i kinda hated it only on account of the teasy from the television shows such as Scooby Doo and then worst of them all… daffy duck. Gawd how i loathed the nickname daffy duck. But now i love the name and i’m truly complimented by this site. I dont meet alot of Daphne’s in my life, especially with the same spelling. I like how its rare but somehow known by alot. Yes i do lack in nicknames such as daff, fifi, phia and sometimes daffodil but besides that i havent heard anything else for it. Anyways to cut things short. Anyone out there thinking of naming their child Daphne go for it. Many are complimented by a middle name. spread the love. spread the daphne. <3 =)

(obviously) I always hated my name when i was younger because of the teasing, but now I absolutely love it. I wouldn’t change my name for the world. Having the name Daphne makes me feel unique. It is a great name and the teasing is the least of your worries. I plan on naming my daughter Daphne someday. I have had numurous compliments on my name. It is a smart choice if you ask me. ;)

I’ve never met one, so that makes it even better. Daphne is on my medium length list, but I’ve often considered bumping her up. For some reason Daphne is always paired with Fiona in my mind, I think they’d make good sisters.

It’s in the press in the UK today that celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his wife are celebrating the arrival of their third daughter Petal Blossom Rainbow sister to Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo – I can’t help thinking that Daphne would have been a far nicer and lets face it, much less ridiculous option…

Blossom is just about ok and certainly fits with the fun sounding nature theme but I can’t get to grips with Petal and the whole combo of Petal Blossom Rainbow is way over the top! Sticking with their overtly floral theme, I would personally rename her something like:
Daphne Marguerite (inspired by Laney and Coolteamblt!)
Violet Aster (love this one!)
Hazel Jasmine
Lily Honeysuckle
Ivy Azalea
Flora Marigold
Camellia Wren
