Help[Opinions] Dag (M)
This is the third time this week that I come across the name Dag*. What do you think of the name?
I would love to know how you would name his siblings!
* Dag pronounced like the first syllable of the word dagger

Thanks everyone for the honest opinions!

I'd name his brothers Dig and Dug.

It’s a slang term where I’m from (dagnabbit is a variant, lol). It’s in the same family as darn and damn. So because of this I can’t even picture sibling names!

If I met someone by this name I would assume it was a nickname though I don’t know of what- Daggart ? Dagobert?

It immediately made me think of Dagwood from Blondie.

Reminds me of the word dog or hag. It seems like a nn for something. Dagwood?

Can it be a long-delayed reaction to the Blondie comic strips? Short for Dagwood, in that case!
In Afrikaans it's pronounced more or less duX, where X is the more guttural version of 'ch as in Scottish loch' - the usual explanation. And it's used as a greeting, short for Goeie dag = Good day. So, no on two counts in South Africa anyway.

I don't like it at all. It sounds violent and abrupt. I'm surprised you've seen it three times in one week - where?

One in a fiction book and twice on tv (one from a documentary and the other was in a medical series?).

All I can think of is Simlish. In the Sims the characters say “dag dag!” to mean “goodbye”.
It sounds like it’s trying too hard to be cool, but I don’t hate it.

It means Day in Danish and while it’s not used in Denmark, it is in Sweden and Norway.
Like someone else said, it’s not pronounced like the first syllable in dagger. It’s more like Dark but ending on a hard G sound instead of a K.
I sort of like it but it’s also completely unusable in my head.
Siblings: Erik, Sofus, Svante, Anna, Beate

No! Dagnabbit!
(But seriously, that expression is often shortened to dag)
