HelpRe: Daria
in reply to a message by vigdis
I posted about this name just a few days ago. I really like it, but I worry that it's too open to ridicule because its sound is close to the word "diarrhea".
I'm thinking that the majority of the responses I got about it were negative. It doesn't seem as if too many people really like it.

Oooh, I should have searched.
I don't get the diarrhea connection. I'll run the name past my brother - he's the king at finding connections like that. (I still remember asking him about Tesni and his reply "WHAT? TESTES?" The name was quickly crossed off my list)

I don't know for sure if I would have made the diarrhea connection myself, if it weren't for "Beavis and Butthead". Beavis and Butthead were in the habit of calling the Daria character "diarrhea." A pop culture reference like that is what would make me worry about it.
I still think it's a very pretty name, though. It's what Gene Tierney named her daughter. This was the daughter that was born severely mentally handicapped because of the German measles that Tierney suffered during her pregnancy, however, so I don't know if that's the greatest association, either.
