What do you think of 'Darryl' for a girl?
(41 Posts)I know of two females called Darryl and also the actress Daryl Hanna. Me and oh really like it. It's not decided, we're just sussing names out right now. What do you think? The thing is, we have a Dylan, Rory and Max. Is Darryl too close to Dylan? Or do you think they're alright together?
No.
Daria as female version. But still close to Dylan
I like it!
I was going to suggest Dylan instead! But clearly that's not an option!
Thank you Seminyak! It's really different isn't it?
I'd spell it Darrell (like Rivers). And removing the 'y' makes it a bit less like Dylan.
That's good thinking. Thanks!
I think Darryl is the boy's spelling, Darrell the girl's. I used to love Darrell rivers
I'd spell it Darrell (like Rivers).
Yeah, it does sound a bit Blyton. I suppose though, the world can probably be divided into those who have and those who haven't read Malory Towers, and most of the world won't make that link.
Daria is a good idea.
Hmmm....I always thought that Daryl was male and Darryl was female. I like the spelling Darrell though. It does make it more different from Dylan! I keep coming up with names that are similar to my sons names. Typical!
I don't like Daria at all!
Also, I've never heard of Mallory towers! lol!!
Ghastly
I love how some people have a way with words!! hahaha!
It's like calling your little girl Nigel or Rodney or Dwayne. Don't like it Op.
I thought of Mallory Towers. She was a bit of a goodie two shoes, pain in the bum.
After that I think of some hard as nails, tattooed woman shrieking 'Oi, are you lookin' at my Darrell?'
I love it! (And Mallory Towers )
Don't like it sorry. How about Darla?
I like it, if you and your OH like it use it!
It makes me think of Mallory Towers too. I really like Darrell for a girl (this spelling only, I dislike Darryl)
I know there is Daryl Hannah (and Darrell Rivers!) but somehow to me the name just seems quite masculine. I don't like it. Too similar to Dylan, as well, really.
Too similar to Darren. It sounds like a 70s boys name.
Awful. And: Malory Towers.
No definitely not
