Names That Start with D
748 names
Names beginning with D open on a short, solid consonant, which gives them a grounded feel whether they are long or short. Two of the steadiest names in this group come from the Hebrew Bible: David, the shepherd who became king of Israel, and Daniel, whose story includes the famous night in the lions' den. Delilah comes from the Book of Judges, although parents today mostly choose it for its soft, flowing sound rather than its story.
The list also reaches across languages. Diego is a Spanish name with a long history in Spain and Latin America. Dylan is Welsh and is linked to the sea in medieval Welsh legend. Declan honors an early Irish saint, Dominic comes from a Latin word meaning of the Lord, and Damian traces back to Greek. Dakota takes its name from a Native American people, and it is used for both boys and girls.
Nature and word names add a lighter touch. Daisy is a garden flower and Destiny is a word name with a hopeful meaning. Dean, Dawson and Devin started out as surnames. Daniel and David both shorten easily if you want a casual everyday version, while Dean and Derek are already compact and need no nickname at all.
