Dorian: Yay or Nay?

[DoodleDoo]

We're staying team yellow so are choosing both boy and girl names. Now I'm past 12 weeks we've really started giving it some thought

For a girl we like... Daisy Fay Patricia T----

OH has a tradition that boys in his family are named to have the initials 'DRT' due to a family heirloom that is passed through the male side.

So we really like Dorian Roland T----

All of our middle names are familial ones and we're happy with them, we just didn't know if Dorian is a little bit out there, or if Daisy is too boring. I'm a literature student and both of the first names we have chosen are based on literary characters. Please give an honest opinion

I don't love Dorian, although I don't hate it, but I don't think it's too out there at all! Like Daisy.

Dorian is ok, a bit odd but not out there

Daisy I hate with a passion though, sounds to me like a little girls baby doll not an adult

just some random suggestions that are not common but not crazy:

Dagan
Danby
Deon
Duane
Dallas
Dimeter
Dainton

Darcia
Dorothea
Dawn
Dahlia
Dita
Darcy

I love Dorian Gray.. But personally I couldn't name a child after the character!

 

[Buffyx]

I like Daisy, but not a fan of Dorian. Now that I think about it, there aren't too many D names I actually like!

 

[staralfur]

I think Dorian is cute.

 

[kdmalk]

I like Dorian. Not a fan of Daisy.

But I am one to talk... Our girl name is Finley. Lol

 

[rwhite]

I like it, but I may be biased because my nephew is named Dorian

 

[Buffyx]

I like Dorian. Not a fan of Daisy.

But I am one to talk... Our girl name is Finley. Lol

My nieces name is Finley

 

[HappyAnjeL]

I don't love or hate either of them. But I don't think Dorian is out there at all and Daisy isn't boring.

I like Dorian. I was going to name Dd Dorian at one point, if she was a boy, as it went well with my sons name who is Ossian.

But its what you like that matters not what anyone else likes. People name there kids all sorts of unique names and some name them very common. Its up to you decide.

It reminds me of 'Birds of a Feather'
