19 names that start with D

[depeche810.livejournal.com]

I was bored at the laundromat waiting for my laundry to dry. I was thinking about the show 19 Kids and Counting, and decided to come up with 19 names that start with D (because my husband's name is Dave) and see what my make believe Duggar-sized family would be named...10 boys, 9 girls.

These names I came up with mostly off the top of my head, so I don't love most of them...the ones with * are ones I'd actually use

Boys:

Derek*
Declan
Devin*
Donovan
Daniel
Dennis
Donald
Dustin
Dexter
Dorian

Girls:

Diana*
Delia*
Dana
Daria*
Dina*
Donna
Dara*
Destiny
Davina

my husband's name is Dave too - and my name is Dara (rhymes with Sara)! It was nice to see it starred on your list. :)

This could be fun to do with every letter. . .but I imagine most of us would just get annoyed after a while.

I like Daniel (though it's horribly a family name, so I'd never use it), Dana.

I don't think I'm a D person.

The thing about naming your kids with names that start with the same letter is names that sound similar. Like Noah and Nora.
