I named my daughter Daphne because the spelling is beautiful and the name is a little old fashioned and yet a little quirky. I call her Daph most of the time. Lorraine is her middle name. I think this name is a good choice for someone who wants a name that's not from out in left field but not so common like Jennifer or Megan. Out of her entire high school she is the only Daphne.

Once popular as a name for dogs.

Why I don't like this name I don't know, but I don't.

The only Daphne I ever knew was always teased and called Daphne Duck.

I don't really like this name at all.

Talented actress Daphne Zuniga bears the name. Daphne is a very beautiful name. It's so mystical and magical. I like it very much.

Daphne Blake was a character on Scooby Doo!

This name is also used in Dutch, but then it is pronounced as DAHF-nuh. I think it's very pretty that way.

Daphne is the main character of the movie "What A Girl Wants" starring Amanda Bynes and Colin Firth. Really good movie, and the character is cool.

It's Jack Lemmom's character in "Some Like It Hot", which is a fantastic hilarious movie.

What an elegant name!

There is a character in the Italian cartoon "Winx Club" whose name is Dafne or Daphne. She is a nymph, and is a guide to the main protagonist, Bloom. In the original (i.e. non-4kids) versions of the cartoon she is also Bloom's elder sister.

I've never liked this name much. It makes me think of 'daft' and 'daffy.' And the way it's spelled doesn't look aesthetically pleasing to me.

Daphne Handlová is character from the movie "15 Minutes". She is played by Vera Farmiga.

This name does sound sweet, and I have considered it. But growing up with Scooby-doo, I'm worried that she'd be born with cartoon-red hair, a purple dress, and a vanity complex. Har har. (When I was little I used to parade around the room as nerdy Velma. Yep. I had the haircut and everything.)

Daphne Greengrass is a character in the Harry potter series, although she is only mentioned in the Sorting Ceremony.

Daphne Rubin-Vega was the original Mimi in the original cast of the broadway show, "Rent".

Daphne is such a pretty name, very classy, and a little old-fashioned, in a good way.

-- wordybookworm  2/10/2008

I don't really like it much. It would probably be shortened to Daff, which wouldn't be nice. I have a rather unfriendly impression of the name for some reason. The name is much prettier in European languages other than English.

-- slight night shiver  5/19/2008

This name looks ugly and makes me think of Scooby-Doo or Daffy Duck.

-- number1212  1/6/2009

I associate this name with a young lady about town with a funky sense of fashion. She'd probably look like she just came back from the 1970's.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Daphne Millbrook, aka 'Nemesis' or 'Speedster' from Heroes. Too bad Danko had to go and get her shot though.

-- Ayla  4/11/2009

I think this is a great, classy name which would suit all ages, and also, when I hear the name Daphne I can't help but think of that groovy, red-haired teenager from the 70's cartoon programme Scooby Doo, which is a plus in my opinion. :)

I've always loved this name! It's perfect in that it's not too popular, but at the same time, not too unusual either. It has a beautiful sound, can be pronounced pretty easily in other languages, and has wonderful literary connections-- what with novelist Daphne Du Maurier and the ancient Greek myth about Daphne the nymph. It is also a classic name, and has consistently been in the top 1000 baby names for more than a century.

Comments for DAPHNÉ:

I always thought this was a beautiful name. When I was young I thought that if I had a daughter I might give her this name, however, because I think kids would tease her by calling her Daffy Duck - I changed my mind.
