Ok so we are team yellow and have decided on our boys names, it's just two girls names we need help on with. After rejecting a few and going back and fourth we are left with these.

Darcey.

I don't like Winter. It just seems...cold.

What's team yellow?

My friend has a Winter. I thought it was odd at first but now she's 4 and it really suits her. She's quite a character. It's a strong and unusual name so sort of a gamble on the child's personality Imo.

I prefer Darcy (that spelling too)

I don't really like Winter, it's a bit too out there for me

Oh it's looking quite split at the moment then?!

I quite like them both. But if Darcey, I'd spell it Darcy without the E.

Love both - Darcey was a favorite of mine for a long time.

But really like Winter too. Once the baby is here and she grows into her name people will think "I know a Winter and it really suits her!" And Winnie as a nickname is super cute.

Darcy is beautiful, and quite unusual. . Winter is becoming very popular now.

Winter? really?! Its a feckn season, not a name.. Darcy sounds like boys name but not as bad as winter.

I heard of a baby boy born on Tuesday.. River Venus.. Christ!

I think it depends so much on how it sounds with your surname.

Out of the two I'd say Darcey, not a fan of Winter at all sorry.

Love Darcy, haven't seen it spelt with the e before.

Winter is a bit too 'out there' for me.

Darcy over Winter any day. Darcy at least sounds pretty and light. Winter sounds odd and cold. Hard syllabled. A season not a name. I have come around to Summer as a name but Winter doesn't sound/feel right to me. Bit try hard.

I really like Darcey/Darcy. But I agree with GreenBeans17, the nn Winnie is absolutely lovely! :)
