I love the name Dash! We originally thought of the name Dashiell, but decided he would be called Dash. We ended up having twins, so we had baby Dash and baby Trevor!

Well the name Dash was mentioned to me years ago by a co worker and I fell in love with it. My boyfriends name is Duane and my name is Ashlee (they call me Ash) so Dash is his first initial and my nick name. Plus I also love the name because it isn’t too common.

So our Dash is unique because his name is a mash-up of his first two names – David Asher. David means “beloved” and Asher means “happiness” so he’s our beloved happiness 🙂 We love his name/nickname as it brings a little uniqueness to a common name in David! His daddy’s name is David too, so it helps clarify which David/Dave someone is calling out 😀

  My name is David Ashley but I’m a Jr. and couldnt go by Ashley, so I’ve had the name “Dash” since the hospital. I am 31 years old and still love the name Dash, definitely not common, but I am seeing more people with it!

My wife taught school for a couple of years and had a pre-school aged boy named Dash. His parental unit was a hair stylist and tattoo artist combo. Needless to say…the kid had a cool vibe to him. The wife and I both agreed on the name in a matter of seconds when deciding and we never had a backup boy name.

The only dislike would be the difficulty had by medical staff when it comes to pronunciation of his full name (Dashel). Day-shel and Duh-shel are the most common efforts.
