I love Daphne and would love to use it but all my boyfriend thinks of is Scooby-Doo.Dafna is lovely, though much, much too close to the English word Daffy for me to use, either. I do agree that Daphne is very pretty and sophisticated.
Maybe you can get him to read "Rebecca"? :-)(m)Because my main association is Daphne du Maurier, as well as the myth of the young woman loved by Apollo and changed into laurel.
