Re: Daphne
in reply to a message by pearl
I don't like it. I find it silly. It brings to mind a scatter-brained airhead. I probably have this mental image because Daphne sounds similar to the word "daffy." Nevertheless, that's the image that it has for me.

Same.I'd still probably prefer it to most of the popular nonsense, but it's not for me.

Reminds me of a similar greek name, PhoebeYou know, I never noticed the Daphne sounds like "Daffy" connection, but I had a hard time getting on board with Phoebe for a long time because it sounds like "feeble" to me. I've sort of grown to appreciate Phoebe now because I love the way it looks, but just can't come around to loving the sound.
