Dagny

If you have this name I will believe that your parents loved Atlas Shrugged, due to its protagonist. I've met two women with this name, both of them had parents who loved the works of Ayn Rand.
So this is one of those names that you have to ask if you want to be associated with Atlas Shrugged. I, for one, like this name, and Dagny Taggart is one of literature's most empowered women.

I have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and named her Dagny. She is lovable, headstrong and willful, just like the protagonist in Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged. I read that book back in my teens and it had a positive impact on me.

I love this name. When I have a daughter I intend to name her this both because I love the Atlas Shrugged character and because I love both of its meanings. The meaning listed on this site is the traditional one, however, I've heard that its secondary meaning is "strong-willed" which I think is great for a modern girl child. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Although, I intend on pronouncing it "Dag-nee," regardless of the traditional pronunciation.

Dagny is so harsh for a little girl. It sounds like (and reminds me of) "dagger".

Dagny is such a light and pretty name.

This is my name and I love it! Never meet anyone with it. However no one can pronounce it. I pronounce it as it is spelled. People from Scandinavian countries tell me it is a softer sound with the 'a' more of an 'ah' sound. So
D-ah-gny but then it sounds like dogny, and as a twelve year old I did not appreciate the correction. So however you want to pronounce it just like it is spelled or with the cultual twist.
