I really love Daphne, really gorgeous.
It was on my list a while ago.
DD knows one who is about 8, but I have never met another one.

Sorry, not keen, but then my associations for the name are Scooby-Doo and Daphne the stripper who married Des on Neighbours.

Makes me think of Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot- "and I'm Daphne!"

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
