    No, I can not help you with cool D names.
    But you did come up with some cool ones.
    And even ones I hadn't heard of.

    The female names sound very pretty.

    I love these! My favorite today is Daa'im. For some reason I'm drawn to names with extra vowels and apostrophes. May I ask where you are finding these?

    Great, unusual names. I like the name Daisy. As you would have noticed, my names are not particularly 'out there' but lovely, nevertheless :):)

    A few years back, I taught sisters...their names were Dakshina and Denishta.
    Such pretty names...and they were well-mannered ladies...

    Da'mariya does not sound very Latin to me... or did they mean as in Latin-America?

    my husband's name is Darrell, but nowadays he'll get calls for D'arrell. It's all in the apostrophe

    I'm not sure, but as I recall, Daichi, if said with the wrong intonation can mean something kind of embarrassing. Very tricky name.

    I'm trying but all I can come up with is my husband's name, David, which is about as generic as you can get.

    I like Da-Xia. Reminds me of Jadzia, as in Jadzia Dax from Star Trek DS9.

    What about Damian and Demosthenes (some old Greek orator)? I especially like Dakini and Daphne. And I love your theme for A to Z!

    I think the Chinese pronunciation is Da-chee, but don't quote me. These are great names.
