[Opinions] Re: Daphne & June
in reply to a message by Effie
I'm somewhat torn on Daphne. I like Daphne's mythological background as well as its meaning. It isn't overused, which gives it bonus points. On the other hand, I have a bad association with the name unfortunately, so it's not a name I would use myself. I dislike the nickname Daffy, but Daphne is short enough that it doesn't need a nickname. It also reminds me of the word "daft", but it's still a decent name.
All of your Daphne combos work. My favorites are Daphne Alison, Daphne Helen, and Daphne Rosalind. Daphne Willa is cute, but I think the others have a smoother flow.
I like June. It has a quaint, almost playful vibe. It also ages well.
June was used regularly enough in the past that I'm sure that most people probably think of other associations besides the Honey Boo-Boo connection. I don't watch it, but even if I did, it probably wouldn't be the first association to come to mind.
Out of your June combos, I like June Amabel, June Beatrix, June Rosanna, and June Rosamund.
