Re: Terrible nickname?
in reply to a message by Bex
It's not a nickname I would pick or encourage anyone to use, but I think it's okay as an occasional, at-home, affectionate pet name for those moments when she actually is being a "Daffy Daphne." If I had a Daphne, I'd work hard to make sure it never became an established nickname.
My almost-4-year-old niece is a Daphne, but "Daffy" has never been on the table. She's called Daphne 95% of the time, and Daph once in a while. Daphne is one of those names that's better without a nickname, imo.
