Help[Opinions] Re: Dalloway (f)
in reply to a message by AndianaJones
It reminds me too much of Calloway, a name that I really like for a boy.
Dalloway seems really unfeminine, and while I don't think names for girls should be frilly, I don't think they should be like Dalloway, which doesn't even sound like a name. I would pronounce it DAL-oh-way, and therefore wouldn't easily get the nickname Daley from it since I pronounce that DAY-lee.
Shortly, I don't think it could work for a girl, with or without the nickname Daley. I barely think it could work for a boy.
My constantly changing PNL:

Top rated = Henry and Rose / James / Alexander :)
Bottom rated = Kacey and Brianna :(
Not rated = Freya, Kimiko, Lilo, Meg, Naomi, and Peyton (all girls) :/
