Darcy Duffy better.

I would have had Darcy for DS1 if a girl (now almost 16)

I wouldn't have said pornstar, more Beano naughty-child-character . Very cheeky.

oh, ok, I misunderstood

Duffy Darcy.

It's quite cute.

Duffy Francesca D'Arcy is straight out of a Jilly Cooper I reckon. Mental but what the hell!

Delilah rocks but Duffy is too much due to the current singer, you would look like a twat that had copied her. There must be some more cool D names about.....somewhere??

dangleberry?????

but Duffy is an actual family name not one I am making up ... not trying to be 'different' but would like to keep a family heritage in there and thought Duffy D'Arcy was fun

oops starting to sound defensive now ... soz ... I'll shut up and see what the consensus is!

Know Duffy is your surname.

But Duffy as a girl's name must be short for something?

Anyone know what?

Report
elmoandella · 15/07/2008 22:58

duffy was a surname original. just been used as a first name.

a bit like thomas is both a first and last name

Report
ChukkyPig · 15/07/2008 23:04

So Duffy isn't short for anything then?

In that case prob not IMO will look like named after the singer.

Must be loads of D names though! Delia, delilah, dinah, diana...

I LOVE it. I really like alliteration with names. My sister led the way and two of my sons have alliterative names.

Duffy Darcy is utterly inspired and a total, absolute must. To ignore this would be to look the proverbial gifthorse in the mouth.
