What do you think of [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]? I didn’t like it at first but it has grown on me. It feels cute and it makes me think of a cute Scandinavian girl with braids playing in flowers or the snow.
I don’t know if I would use it as a first name but I would make a great middle name. Here are some combos I can up with:
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]
Which one is your favorite?

It’s not bold as a first name, but I really like it as a middle name
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] is really cute
It’s very harsh sounding to me. [name_m]The[/name_m] softness of [name_f]Leah[/name_f] balances it out nicely!

I can see what you mean about [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f], it does have a slightly strong, almost “stern” sound to it if you’re not used to Scandinavian names. I think that’s part of why it takes a bit of time to warm up to it. I do like it more as a middle name for that reason. It has a lot of character, but it can feel a bit heavy as a first name in English-speaking contexts, and I can see why some people might even read it as a bit masculine at first.
From your combos, I think [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f], [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] work best because they balance out that firmness nicely.
I really like [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f]! I also met a girl named [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] once; I always thought it was a cool name.
I think it sounds fine in a Danish cultural context (“dow-mar”), but in English it would be mispronounced constantly and for me the first three letters are uncomfortably close to the word “dog” which might lead to teasing.
I like Annelise Dagmar the most.
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] has my vote!
I am really fond of [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f], but not quite as much as my beloved [name_f]Dagny[/name_f]! I adore [name_f]Dagny[/name_f].
[name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] feels both royal and warrior maiden-esque to me; I know lots do find her quite harsh but I love her. Years ago I knew a family wanting to name their daughter [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and I thought that was so stunning and that’s when I fell for both her and [name_f]Dagny[/name_f]! [name_f]Dagny[/name_f] feels more usable to me, but both are gorgeous. I love your ideas of [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] especially!

I also tend to prefer [name_f]Dagny[/name_f] but [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] is very strong and bold in and [name_f]English[/name_f] context!
Now that’s a name

It sounds a bit harsh to me. I didn’t know the [name_m]Danish[/name_m] pronunciation was “dow-mar”, but even then I don’t particularly like the sound of it, sorry!
Of your combinations, I like [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] the best!
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] are charming 
I love [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f], actually. [name_m]Even[/name_m] in the [name_f]English[/name_f] pronunciation. It’s so strong and distinctive but there’s something a little soft about the second syllable.
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] and [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f] are pretty cool.
My first thought was to wonder if this was a Turkish name. I do like [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f], very bold!
