About Dagmar
This royal Danish name has long been used across Scandinavia, Germany and Slavic countries and somewhat in the US around the turn of the last century --it was #622 in 1888. There were two notable silent screen stars with the name (Dagmar Godowskyne and Dagmar Dahlgren), and there was the later actress known mononymously as "Dagmar" who gave her name to a bumper style for Cadillacs.
The name is pronounced as DOW-mar in Danish, DAHK-mahr in German, and DAHG-mahr in Czech.
Pronounced DAG-mar.
