Unique boy name? Or just strange?

My husband really loves the name Dash for a boy. It's growing on me because it's easy to say, unique, but not super weird. Opinions?

    Isn't Dash one of those names that started out as an urban legend and then became a thing? Don't spell it "-" I'd say. 

    I my opinion, it is strange. Dashiell is a great name, and you could use Dash as a nickname.

    Yeah I would never spell it "-" haha. Daschel or Dashiell would probably be the formal name of it

    Dashiell is fine as a name, Dash as a NN. NMS, but perfectly legitimate.

    I think it's ok it you give him a longer more formal name and use Dash as a NN. I just think about him applying for jobs etc.
    We use my son's MN as his NN and it is only one letter different from Dash. Strangers constantly miss hear and call him Dash. I don't mind though. He is a very energetic child so it kind of fits

    I don't mind Dashiell but don't love Dash. Dash itself has broken the top 1000 so it's not completely unheard of and I wouldn't side eye it, I just wouldn't personally use it.

    Love Dashiell with Dash and a nn, but hate Dash as an actual first name.

    I agree that Dash is a cute nn for Dashiell.  

    Otherwise, it's just the name of the Kardashian's clothing boutique (and the reason why Kourtney K. named her son "Mason Dash Dissick.")  Which no one will even remember by the time your son is in jr. high, but right now, the idea of naming a baby Dash makes me cringe.

    I'm not crazy about it but it isn't horrible. Much better than Cash. I don't know why I keep seeing that name over and over.
