This name has never really wowed in the past me but out of nowhere I've got a SERIOUS crush on it now. I love that a nn could be Dahl or Dahli (Doll/Dolly). So WDYT of Dahlia?

The combo I have stuck in my head currently is Dahlia Margot but I'd love some other MN suggestions if you're feeling up to it :) TIA

I love Dahlia. It's elegant and less used than some other floral names. I think Dolly as a nickname is very cute as well, for when she's little.

It's not really my style. Dahlia Margot is pretty though.

I love Dahlia! I would probably just use Lia as a nickname, or Dahlia in full since it's fairly short. Dahl and Doll are quite different in my accent, otherwise Dolly would be really cute for a child. Dahlia is beautiful, fresh and simple but distinctive. Dahlia Margot is actually very pretty but I just see maggot with Margot. Dahlia Margot is so lively and charming, too. I like the suggestion of Dahlia Marguerite, which I think goes perfectly and dresses Dahlia up a bit. Or Dahlia Margaret/Margalit? Or:

Dahlia Joan / Jean / Jane / Sian
Dahlia Lenore
Dahlia Cathleen
Dahlia Avital
Dahlia Aviva
Dahlia Clemence
Dahlia Edith
Dahlia Eleri
Dahlia Eluned
Dahlia Susannah
Dahlia Elowen
Dahlia Elizabeth
Dahlia Enid
Dahlia Irene
Dahlia Meraud

Dahlia is one of my TOP favorite names. It is lush and beautiful and I LOVE the flowers. Doll & Dolly are my fave nicknames for it as well. They are cute and just make sense based on the way I pronounce Dahlia. I love Dahlia Margot!

I have several combos for her

Dahlia Clarice
Dahlia Josephine
Dahlia Celeste
Dahlia Marguerite
Dahlia Tamar
Dahlia Corrine
Dahlia Elodie
Dahlia Jacqueline
Dahlia Peridot
Dahlia Selene
