DH has just suggested Darcy for DC2 if it's a girl. Xmas Shock He's not normally so 'left' field, been hell bent on Beatrice for yonks..DH reckons it's different like Honor yet not unheard off! I don't dislike it, just not sure.

Honor and Darcy, Darcy and Honor..does it work? Confused

Your thoughts please?

Don't like Darcey at all. It is a bit Jilly Cooper heroine as nooka says. Love Beatrice (and Honor) though.

Don't like Darcy sorry- one of those names that seems to have suddenly become popular very quickly so I suspect it will become dated.

Love Honor though, good choice first time round! Grin

I really like Honor, but I'm not keen on Darcy. Too surname for me and it has a bit of a Jilly Cooper feel to it. I like Beatrice (we have one on the family).

AmandaWJ · 30/12/2011 23:15

really not keen on Darcy, its become a bit of a 'chav' name round our neck of the woods.

Honor and Beatrice are lovely names though and aren't that common :)

I like Beatrice and I prefer Dulcie to Darcey

MrsOzz · 30/12/2011 23:12

I think Darcy is gorgeous.

Much prettier than Beatrice. Personally I think Beatrice is ugly and can't understand why it's getting so many mentions recently.

If you don't like the arse bit, how about Dulcie?

I love the name Darcy, a bit so so about Honor. I really don't like Beatrice and I think there will also be the association with the Royal Beatrice. Her and her sister are always being ridiculed. At least with Darcy there is a positive association with Darcy Bussell - a very elegant lady.

Eglu · 30/12/2011 22:12

I like Darcy. Dh suggested it for DD, but we went with something else in the end.

waps · 30/12/2011 22:11

I like it, goes well will Honor but rhymes with Arsey. She would have to have the sunniest nature to avoid being called Arsey Darcy.

TheOriginalNutcracker · 30/12/2011 22:10

I like it, and it goes well imo.

Not keen on Beatrice

ThatsNotSantasBabyBelly · 30/12/2011 22:07

I don't like it, I like Honor though, and Beatrice.
