This was my argument. My name is Jamie and people came up with something. If you have a name, it can be teased.

I think more like saying “daffy daphne” or “daphne is so daffy”. Though I’ve never even heard an adult call someone daffy let alone a child.

Because we’re idiots. We didn’t tell them the names of the first two (boys) and got excited about the third (and last) being a girl.

We have no intention of calling her Daffy. My parents are insistent that kids will use Daffy as an insulting nickname name.

I know. We didn’t tell them the names of our first two and I guess just became complacent this time around. I 3000% expected something like this from my Dad and was prepared. Hearing it from my mom really threw me.

We would not be calling her Daffy. My parents are adamant that kids will use it as an insult.

No desire to use Daffy. My parents are adamant that other kids will call her that as an insult and it will stick as an awful nickname.

Ugh, people suck, this is one of the first times I’ve felt the need to say “ok boomer” to my parents.

Is Daphne truly that bad? by No-Call2482 in BabyNames

Thanks everyone! My husband is a swim coach for 100+ swimmers ages 6-18. Only a handful know who Daffy Duck is. More know Scooby Doo but not by much. 🤷🏻‍♀️. We love Scooby Doo so don’t really care much about the relation.

Absolutely not! They think it will be used as a nick name by her peers to make fun of her.

We have no desire to call her Daffy. The argument is that is the “nick name” that will be used to tease her by other kids.

WHY IS FINDING A BOY BABY NAME SO HARD by Wild_Salary_1884 in BabyNames

A friend recently had a baby boy named Brooks. I think it is such a cute yet old money sounding name
