"Black name" is what comes to mind, although after a while I also think of the little boy in "Thr Incredibles" ( called Dash but at one point one of the parents calls him by his full name )

Trying *too hard to do what? If you don't like the name you don't like the name, I don't understand the need to insult people because they like name you happen to not like.

My guess is it's because she **used** to know someone who named their child Dashiell....

You're right - better to name the kid John, and then tell him he was named that because it was easy.

Actually, the hipsters have been using Dashiell for a while now. They'll probably be moving on soon.

This is a fine name. I don't think I would use it but I wouldn't think twice about it if I heard it (well maybe I would think, hey I used to know a guy with that name).

I love that actor! He was on the first season of Felicity.

Perfectly fine name, OP.

You obviously don't know DCUM well. That is what we do here. Get with the program.

Geez, lighten up lady!!! Or go back and correct your two typos in your response. You asked what the Kardashian connection was, and I answered it.

PS - Kardashian is a valid name if you are aiming for the nickname Dash.

Why am I cranky b/c your reality tv joke fell flat?

My nephew is named Dashiell (def not low income AA). The name had a moment about 10 years ago. The little boy from The Incredibles is named Dashiell (called Dash). There are also a few celebrities who named their son Dashiell around the same time. I don't particularly care for it and it definitely trips up the olds. Lots of aunties thinking his name was Dashnell etc.

My cousin named her youngest Dashiell. If you are also an aspiring hipster, I say go for it.

What does one have to do with the other? Have you really never heard the name before? If Kardashian if the first thing that comes to your mind that I guess not.
