HelpDagny
What are your thoughts on Dagny?
It's feminine and means "new day". It's Scandinavian.
Youtuber Ellen Fisher (quite famous in the vegan community) named her daughter this.
When I read it I honestly thought "Oh no" because I thought it was an unusual, old fashioned surname name that is usually chosen for boys such as Dudley.
But now it has grown on me a bit, I love the meaning.
If you are from a Scandinavian country, could you let me know how it is pronounced where you are?
My guess is that it is more like dug-nee whereas they probably say dag-nee (I don't watch her videos much anymore, just saw it on google).
The other kids:
Elvis
Sandy (boy)
Scout Hannah
Koufax (boy)

Lol, Dudley is my middle name. I’m 17 (18 soon) and I’m not a fan of it. I’m so offended that you talked about it negatively (joke).
Anyways, I don’t care for the sound of Dagny. But, I can appreciate the history of it. As for Fisher’s other kids, I like Scout and Hannah. Sandy on a boy is also very interesting! I like that name on a boy.

I prefer other forms of Dagny like Dagna.

I think it's beautiful, but does NOT match the sibset. I'm guessing they thought it sounded trendy and unisex (seeing Scout on a girl).

Big MLB fans are they? A Sandy and a Koufax? Their children have a weird mix of names.
Anyways, I don't mind Dagny. I remember having a friend (can't remember which one) who had a mother named Dagny as a child, it was DAHG-nee. It isn't my favourite name, but I don't mind it.

Dagny is apparently pronounced in three different ways in Scandinavian countries: "DAHNG-nuy" in Sweden, "DAHG-nee" in Norway and something like the English word "down" in Danish. I'm from Finland (where Swedish is also an official language) and my first instinct was to pronounce Dagny as "DAHG-nuy", like a mixture of the Swedish and the Norwegian pronunciations.
I like Dagny and how it's both beautiful and stark. Still, I prefer the similar looking and sounding Dagmar.

I prefer Daphne better.

I think it sounds exceptionally unattractive. It also makes me think of the French commune (pronounced DAŊ-EE).

Yeah I want to pronounce it the French way and then it looks like a surname or a place name.

I'm guessing DANyee but perhaps I'm thinking in French, like the -gn- in champagne. The meaning is very good, much nicer than yawny Dawn, but it'd be a bit of a pain having to explain the pronunciation on a daily basis, whatever it might be.
I like Sandy very much for a boy and not very much at all for a girl. Scout - ho-hum, another pair of literate parents - and Hannah isn't a favourite at all. They'd have been better off with Jean Louise. Koufax sounds like some kind of trademark, or maybe that's just the fax bit: Click on Koufax - we give out free information about pigeons! I've met a couple of Elvis people in South Africa, and to my surprise it just seemed like any other name: no rock 'n' rolling hips, no white suits with sequins, no peanut butter and banana sandwich ...
