The dag sound is not good. A dag is something that hangs off a sheep's butt.

I went to high school with a girl by this name, but didn't know her very well. She seemed stuck up, though. I guess it could work on the right person, but it doesn't have an attractive sound imo. The "dag" is not nice sounding, maybe because of the word 'dagger'. :(

I just don't like it.

I actually kind of like it, but it reminds me of Raoul de Chagny from the Phantom of the Opera. Not a bad association, but still.

I don't care for it. While it's a feminine name, I don't find it at all feminine, but rather masculine. It has a surname-y feel to it. I also think if the surname Cagney, as in actor James Cagney. But, I don't like it for a boy, but I think I would prefer it for a boy.

Interesting.... why is Daphne considered pretty, but Dagny is not? (BTW, I love Daphne! but will never use it since it's my niece's name.)

I'm not a huge fan of Dagny or Daphne, but I can kind of understand why people may prefer Daphne. 1) It's more recognizable (thanks to Scooby Doo, lol) while most people have never heard of Dagny, and 2) the F sound softens Daphne while the G sound in Dagny is a bit harsh/abrupt. IMO. :)
