My son is Dashiell, I prefer that spelling, maybe because of the association with Dashiell Hammett, not that I'm much of a Hammett fan, but the association does give the name Dashiell that kind of hip, literate kind of a feel. Doing an alternate spelling kinda makes it less... less of a hipster name and more of a trendee name. Sorry...

I didn't know there were any other pronunciations of Dashiell, it's always been Dash-ul for us, like Dashiell Hammett, no one's ever mispronounced my son's name.
