Re: Daphne
Elsie the Cow. Yes, I worry about this association. It's still quite strong in the U.S., especially here in the South, it would seem. :-/ My grandmother was Elsie and she heard the comments, but it didn't bother her much. But luckily she wasn't overweight. I am, and therefore my dd could be as well, so I even worry about naming my dd Elsa (to honor my gm) and someone picking up on the "Elsie the Cow" thing years from now. :-/ But maybe I worry too much? lol~Heather~

Yeah, you worry too much. I think it'd be fine. It wouldn't stop me if I were you, at any rate! Anyone over 10 whose opinion would matter, knows it's a lame joke and wouldn't stoop to make it. Besides, folks who tease will always tease folks who are teasable -- doesn't matter the name, that's just a convenient target.- chazda
