Dash?

Ladybug1453

So, we pretty much had our boys list finalized with Dexter, Maxwell, and Lincoln (mn Bernard), but we just heard the name "Dash" yesterday and BOTH fell in love with it!

I'm not usually an "out there" type name person.  But I feel like it's really cool and different, which I kind of like.  I'm a little concerned of it not aging well or looking professional on a resume though.  

What are your thoughts?  Does anyone else love this name too?  (Btw, the full name "Dashiell" or any others are not an option).

I liked it until The Incredibles.

Or you could also spell it "?".

(And yeah no I don't like it. It would be a cool name for a dog though.)

I like it as a NN, but as a full name it just doesn't really work for me. I have trouble thinking of it as a name and not a verb.

I think of it as a dogs name too....

Love Dexter and Lincoln (Dexter is on my list too!)...

Dash is different- I say yes!  Also, we have a friend who named their little boy, "Rex"-- love it!

No no no!  What a terrible name!

Dexter, Maxwell, and Lincoln are so great, don't put Dash in the running.

Dash seems like a nn.

I love Maxwell, and I like Dexter and Lincoln as well.  Dash doesn't seem to fit in the same category of sophistication. 

Dash could be a cute nickname if it evolves naturally.  But I wouldn't use Dashiell to force it.  Good luck!

I was going to say "I like it as a NN for Dashiell" but since you nixed that as a formal name, I'm going to have to go with "NO!"

I thought immediately of "The Incredibles," but it is NMS.

A friend of mine just named her son Dasheill. Love it! (yeah, they call him dash.)

oh, i saw you wouldn't use the full name. i definitely would nix it, then.

It seems like a nickname to me, but I would be ok with it as a middle name.

I think it's also Mason's middle name

Anyway, dumb name. Sorry. But I like your other options.

This was my first thought - just shows I watch WAY too much reality TV
