Dashiell?

[Anonymous]

OP, I love Zora and Dashiell. What great names. I am a fan of Cate Blanchett too, who named her sons Dashiell, Roman, and Ignatius, all of which I think are fantastic.

I guess if this thread teaches us anything, it's that some of the biggest idiots on the planet come out to play on DCUM at night. And I agree with a PP - IRL you'll never hear the venom of the likes posted on this thread.

This is a name for a dog or a pretentious asshole. Blech.

OP here - thanks for all the feedback, and it's good to know I'm not alone in some of my tastes.

It sounds AA which is bad news for landing inteviews. Reminds me of Darshnell.

Who have you met named Darshnell? Are you just making stuff up now?

My son's name is stupid, I am stupid, I am a geek, I am trying to get attention through my child, the name is made up, the name is horrible, my son will be scarred for life, he will never get a job b/c people will throw his resume away BUT in real life people don't even think twice about it. Occassionally people mishear and call him the wrong name every once in a while we get a "wow that's cool". But generally people don't comment on kids names. I still love the name and am glad I chose it and can't imagine calling him anything else.

People in real life are never as rude as they are here. The garbage folks are spewing on DCUM will never be heard in real life.

Your names are both wonderful so I hope you go with whichever suits the gender of the baby. If I ever meet you and DC in the park I will be sure to say I love the name b/c I really do.

So... you are Lando's mom and you are pregnant with DC2?

I am, but I am not OP. I was talking to OP, not saying I am the OP.

While people might not spew garbage to your face, they will behind your back. And more importantly: kids will spew garbage on the playground.
