Begins with the letter D

Male/female names beginning with the letter D

Declan is the Anglicized form of the Irish name Deaglán, popularized in the 90s and 2000s following its appearance in the movie The Jackal. Also featured in the 2010 movie Leap Year, along with the soap operas, Emmerdale and Neighbours, and the series Breaking Bad, it has risen up the US charts to feature in the Top 150 in recent years.
 
Possibly meaning "man of prayer" or "man of goodness", St. Declan was one of the first missionaries to bring Christianity to Ireland, preceding St. Patrick. Originally from Wales, he founded the monastery of Ardmore in Ireland.
 
Similar in sound and style Dylan, Dexter, and Nolan, Declan was the birth name of singer Elvis Costello, while singer Cyndi Lauper chose the Declyn spelling for her son, born in 1997. Other noteworthy Declans include footballer Declan Rice, presenter Declan "Dec" Donnelly, and singer Declan Galbraith.

Declan

Dashiell, though missing from many other name sources, is among the hottest new names, chosen by such celebs as Cate Blanchett and author Helen (Bridget Jones) Fielding. With its great dash and panache, Dashiell is associated with detective writer Dashiell Hammett (born Samuel, as in Sam Spade, Dashiell being his mother's maiden name). Alice Cooper was ahead of the game: He named his son Dashiell in 1985.
 For those still confused about the pronunciation, it's kind of similar to castle or bashful. And anyone can pronounce Dash, which is such a dashing nickname.
