[Opinions] Dale
Do you like the name Dale?It occured to me that I quite like it. There were a couple of boys called Dale in my (large) high school but it's never been overused. I don't think it has the trendy feel of Cale, which I've found myself drawn to before.I did consider Dale's potential as a girl's name a while back, but that never went anywhere. I like it on a boy for now. So what are your impressions? And wdyto these combos?Dale Fraser
Dale Matthew Oliver
Dale Oliver Brendan
Dale Conor Nicholas
Dale Conor Benjamin
Dale Francis Meh. I've liked quite boring middle names lately - names I would use as first names if they weren't so popular. Maybe all these combos are just dull...

I hate it. It has a honky-tonk, country boy, "yeehaw" connotation for me. I've known one Dale and two guys whose mns were Dale, and they were all rednecks, so it has kinda ruined it for me.

I like it only for a girl

I see this only as a mn as, IMHO, it's not substantial enough for a fn. Not my favorite.
