When you hear the name Darcy, what do you think? Is it feminine and pretty? Does it go with Tilly?

Cannot decide what little girls name I like!

No. Not especially feminine. Or pretty. It's a surname.

There is a Darcey in dds class. The name seems to sound okay but it comes across as a bit wannabe upper class IYSWIM.

I don't think it goes with Tilly if you are using one as a middle name and the other as a first name. They are too similar. If you mean "go together" as in sibling names that relate, then yes.

I love Darcy/Darcey. Tried to get dh to agree to it for bub due in April but he isn't keen.

I'm not mad on Tilly though as a middle name with. Not sure it flows. But as a name by itself Tilly is nice.

When I hear the name Darcy I think 'Mr' in his wet shirt. I don't think it's particularly pretty. Sorry.

I really like it but it is not "pretty" or feminine. I wouldn't pair it with Tilly (which is a little... fluffy in my opinion)

If I had a DD I would not be able to resist saying "arsey Darcy" every time she threw a strop.

So for that reason, I'm out Wink

I wouldn't use it but I do quite like it. I think it sounds pretty and cutesy - similar to Tilly. Would work with Tilly as a sibling name but definitely not if one is first name and the other middle name as too similar.

No. Arsey. Also, not a name.
