Sienna - unfortunately says Miller to me.
Freya - sweet but very girly
Darcey - I like but DS1 came up with arsey when we suggested it. He is 7

I adore the name Darcey but didn't have the guts to name DD that. Thought it sounded a bit too posh. Freya was on our shortlist too! Love both names. Sienna, however, just reminds me of Sienna Miller. Be brave and go for Darcey! :) (I would spell it without the "e" though)

Ok, I should say that I'm not keen on any of them really, but if pushed I would go for Freya.

Sienna is too celeby (Miller), and actually, so is Darcey (Bussell). It's not so much that there is a celebrity with that name, more the combination of it being really quite unusual and a celebrity being called it. I mean, I wouldn't say "oh no, not Jane - everyone will think of Jane Fonda" IYSWIM?

So Freya. Also, Freya goes quite well with Scarlett.

Freya.
Darcey and Scarlett together sound like you're stuck in some sort of costume drama.
And I'm not too keen on Sienna.
