D'Artagnan

If you can’t pronounce it then you are stupid. It’s not hard to. It’s easy to say. I’ll dumb it down for you morons. Dar-tan-young. Easy. Spelled differently because it’s French stupid. Dar-tan-young. Dar-tan-young. He rose to become 2nd to the king of France. Mighty warrior. Famed for his respect, loyalty, and honor. Renowned swordsman and scholar. Known for respect and allegiance. My son will be D’artagnan Príncepe and my last name.

We named our son Dartagnan, he was born in 2001. Lots of our friends thought it was very cool, some, a few, had the opposite reaction, I thought it incredibly rude that a good friend of mine would make fun of the name... seeing he named his kid Gavin... HOW boring! My son loves his name, 95% of people that meet him think it's very cool. We, and all his friends call him Dart for short.

It's a very cool sounding name, however, not a great one for a real person. It's just a little too unusual, and nobody would be able to pronounce it. However, Dart would make a cool nickname.

This is what a friend of my family named a colt, he was a beautiful Tennessee Walker paint, and when he became a young stud, he had the attitude to match the name. It's a good name for a pet but not a person.

You know, I first read The Three Musketeers in the sixth grade, I've seen at least three of the movies, and I STILL don't pronounce this name right. "Dart-again?"

I actually know someone with this as their middle name. I would NEVER use this as a first name, but I think a middle name would be okay. The guy who has it is very proud of his middle name. It's just hard to pronounce and very long to write. But a good strong name I think.

I used to work with a guy named D'Artagnan - I found it a very cool name. But, every time I went to write I brief note, I found myself wanting to write "Dart", as the name was so long. (I never did, and wouldn't - but it was what I found myself naturally wanting to do!)

It has nice connections to literature, but it doesn't look like anything you should name your kid.

I find this name to be trashy and pretentious at the same time; trashy because of the apostrophe, and pretentious because it is a surname.
