I've met an adult named Daphne, and I think it works for various ages. I don't find it any more childish sounding than Stephanie, Courtney, or most other names ending with a "nee" sound. What keeps me from liking it more is that it makes me think of the words "daft" and "daffy." Its mythological background appeals to me, and if it didn't happen to be close to the words "daft" and "daffy", it might be on my list.
