Dashiell is one of my guilty pleasures! I really love how it sounds, with the harder beginning sound then the soft ending. I like Dash as a nickname, don't mind the Pixar Incredibles connection - fun for a kid - and like that it has a literary connection for an adult. Great name! I only would worry from some reactions I've had when I've talked to others/polled them that some people would think it sounds weak - maybe because it ends in "ell"? Hopefully with the variety of names being used for boys and girls now, and an influx of more "sensitive/softer" names being used for boys (think Owen, Elliott, Avery, Jasper,etc.) that a Dashiell wouldn't have too much trouble. :)

I think I'd consider using it if my future DH liked it, let's put it that way.

Rosie Adele is cute. I agree with some others that I wouldn't use Rosie as a full fn because I'd want it as a nn instead, but it's a nice combo and a good way to leave a little bit of herself with her daughter, too.
