Daffy or Taffy
This site lists Taffy as a male diminutive of Dafydd, but I mean it as a girls' name, like the word for the candy.Which do you like more or hate less? Daffy as a nn for Daphne, or Taffy?

Taffy is all-male and all-Welsh to me - like Morgan! - so definitely Daffy.We don't use the word taffy where I live, though for all I know it might be eaten here under a different name. So I've only got one association with it.

Daffy would be cute within a family. Taffy is just too sugary (yeah I went there). Overall both are pretty horrible. O did read a book where Taffy was the name of the heroine and it worked pretty well.

I'm going to pass on both, honestly.

I'd rather be Daffy. Don't know why.

From best to worstTaffy as a NN for something
Daphne NN Daffy
Taffy as full name
Daffy as full nameTaffy is better than Daffy, all other things being equal, but they should both be occasional nns imo, as full names they are both dreadful.

Sorry but I think they are both awful... I guess I'd have to pick Taffy as the one I hate the least.

Taffy if I had to choose, but I don't like Daphne on its own either.There was, briefly, a character on The Rugrats named Taffy, but her real name was Sarah.

Can't say I like any. Since people here are not named Daffy or Taffy, my only associations for Daffy are Daffy Duck and the word "daft". Oh, and I once knew a dog called Daffy.Taffy, isn't that a stereotypical Welsh man? Makes me think of toffee, too.

I knew a dog named Taffy once... so, name ruined. Daffy is not my cup of tea, but I would prefer it over Taffy. Especially as a nn for Daphne. I never liked Candy for Candice either.

Hi !!!I generally hate NN.In my opinion they are childish. When I like NN they are good as a full names.Between Daffy and Taffy...I dislike Daffy as a short for Daphne but if It was a full name like Duffy I would like it.I prefer Taffy because it seems more feminine and its link with candies is good.Byeeeeeeeeee
