[Opinions] Dymphna?
WDYT?I think the name's meaning, "fawn", is quite endearing."When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do..." - Albert Einstein

I prefer just Fawn, despite it also being a trauma response.

I know a tiny, fiery elderly Irishwoman named Dymphna, she's capable of being scary but sweet or beyond terrifying, I love that for her. That said, the name itself is clunky, difficult for anyone unfamiliar with Irish spelling to say, dated and just gives me a very elderly vibe. Yes, the meaning's cute, but meaning is only a part of a name's charm.

Incredibly awkward, unattractive and cumbersome, possibly even worse than Dorcas.

I like the fact that St. Dymphna is the patron saint of the mentally ill, no crazy about the name itself.

Hi !!!Uhm... The sound is too complex in my opinion. I know people who struggle with Dafne and Daphne pronounciations so Dymphna is a bit too much.
