    Day-see-an Mare-ek

    pretty much how it looks. These are traditional names in my culture and just want to get a feel on how americans feel about it.

    I really like Marek. Not a *huge* fan of Dacien but it's not bad.

    I personally am not a big fan, but I think it's cool that these names reflect your culture and have meaning to you, so I'm in favor. :)

    I like Marek more than Dacien, but both are fine.  Not confusing on how to pronounce it either, at least for me. 

    ETA:  Oops, just realized it was Dacian.

    Nay, you live in the US and so will your child...I wouldn't go with something so obscure.

    Disagree. Honor your culture.

    NMS, but not bad. I would pronounce it correctly. Yes

    Whereas I like the name, I am say NAY only because my poor husband grew up with a super Greek name (Panagiotis pronounced Pana-YO-tees) and went through hell having to pronounce it for everyone who wasn't Greek.  We all call him Peter, but neither one of us are in favor of ever giving our child a name that has to be explained.

    Yay. It is very nice. I knew how to pronounce it - I dont think it is that difficult of a name for Americans to grasp. I would definitely go for it and honor your culture if that is what you want to do.

    I don't really see how Dacian is hard to pronounce. I know a guy named Dacian when I lived outside of Cleveland and he loves his name, and so do a lot of people who know him. Although, that might just be in my area. Anyways, I think it sounds really cool.

    This. I don`t really like the sound of the names, but if they are meaningful to you and culturally based then go for it.

    Yeah, but Dacien is much easier to pronounce than Pana... yotis?

    NAY.  I had a kindergartener once named Darien, which I like better, and he was adorable, but Dacian sounds made up.

    After I typed my first comment, I noticed that it was a traditional cultural name.  In that case, go with it!

    I like it. I've never heard of Dacian, but I assumed that's how it was pronounced. I would think Marek might be generally more known here so you could switch them if you're worried about people not being able to pronounce it. It's not really that hard of a name though.

    I also completely disagree with the idea that you have to use an "american name" if you live in the US. That's absurd.

    Dacian literally means = from Dacia (which is now known as Romania) it also in ancient Romanian means "wolf".

    Marek is Czech/Polish for Mark which means "warlike"
