Hey guys! So it’s Saturday and I have survived my second
week of school. I am so surprised at how well I am able to keep up with
blogging. I do write up my blog post days in advance which really helped. I wanted
to tell you guys about an interview I do with another baby name blogger. I had
so much fun doing the interview and if would like to read it you can go here http://ababynameperday.blogspot.com/2012/09/name-interview-with-ren-lauren.html.
As for today’s post it is going to be another installment on the “rare” name
series. This time I have the “rare” D girl names. So let’s get started.
- Dale- Dale’s sister would be Gayle and her brother would be Glynn. Dale means valley in English. I don’t like Dale on a girl. It makes me think of Dale Earnheart Jr. too much.
- Darcy- Darcy’s sister would be Aubrey and her brother would be Bradford. Darcy means dark in Irish. I love the name Darcy so much! It is such a cute name and would make a cute nickname.
- Daria- Daria’s sister would be Marina and her brother would be Tobin. Daria means maintains possessions well in Greek. I like Daria but not as much as Darcy. I also have never seen it before.
- Darlene- Darlene’s sister would be Suzanne and her brother would be Wayne. Darlene means dearling, darling in English. I’m not really a fan of Darlene because it sounds like an old lady name.
- Dawn- Dawn’s sister would be Robin and her brother would be Todd. Dawn means the first appearance of light, daybreak in English. I don’t like Dawn really at all.
- Debbie- Debbie’s sister would be Cindy and her brother would be Ricky. Debbie means bee in Hebrew. I don’t like Debbie. It is to 80’s too me.
- Deirdre- Deirdre’s sister would be Daphne and her brother would be Craig. Deirdre means broken-hearted, sorrowful in Irish. I think this is a nice name but it would be too hard for little kids to say and spell.
- Della- Della’ sister would be Lottie and her brother would be Archie. Della means noble in German. I love the name Della. It is so short and sweet.
- Delphine- Delphine’s sister would be Celestine and her brother would be Olivier. Delphine means dolphin in Greek. I love the name Delphine and would use the nickname Della with it. I think this would be a great name to use for someone who loves animals.
- Devin- Devin’s sister would be Ashton and her brother would be Quinton. Devin means poet in Irish. I don’t like Devin on a girl, although I do know one girl with the name Devin.
- Diane- Diane’s sister would be Sharon and her brother would be Douglas. Diane means divine in Latin. I don’t like the name Diane on a baby. I can’t see it on anyone but a lady in her 30’s-40’s.
- Dimitra- Dimitra’s sister would be Evanthia and her brother would be Andreas. Dimitria means follower of Demeter in Greek. I don’t like Dimitra but I do love the nickname Demi.
- Dina- Dina’s sister would be Jodi and her brother would be Vince. Dina means decoration; valley; justified; spear ruler in Hebrew. Dina is a cute name. I like it.
- Dinah- Dinah’s sister would be Ronna and her brother would be Monte. Dinah means justified in Hebrew. I don’t really like Dinah. The h makes it look weird and it is pronounced differently than Dina.
- Dolly- Dolly’s sister would be Fanny and her brother would be Buster. Dolly means cute child in American. I love Dolly as a nickname but only as a nickname.
- Dolores- Dolores’s sister would be Geraldine and her brother would be Norman. Dolores means sorrows in Spanish. This is a name that I don’t see coming back into style.
- Donatella- Donatella’s sister would be Serafina and her brother would be Leandro. Donatella means given by God in Latin. I love the name Donatella! The only problem I have found with this name is it may be too grand for a baby.
- Donna- Donna’s sister would be Carol and her brother would be Dennis. Donna means lady in Italian. I don’t like Donna. I think it is too old for a kid.
- Dora- Dora’s sister would be Estelle and her brother would be Luther. Dora means gift in Greek. I don’t like Dora because it makes me think of the show.
- Doris- Doris’s sister would be Wilma and her brother would be Norman. Doris means from Doris; gift in Greek. This is another name that I think is too old for a kid.
- Dorothea- Dorothea’s sister would be Eleanora and her brother would be Augustus. Dorothea means gift of God in Greek. I prefer Dorothy but Dorothea is still really nice.
- Dorothy- Dorothy’s sister would be Frances and her brother would be Bernard. Dorothy means gift of God in Greek. I like Dorothy but have a very strong accent when I say it. I have no clue why.
- Drew- Drew’s sister would be Shea and her brother would be Colt. Drew means man, warrior in Greek. I think Drew is a cute name for a girl but I just think of boy when I hear it.
So that is the list of names. It is kind a mixed list to me.
