Thinking of Darcey for first DD due in 5 weeks?
What do you think? Will people think of Strictly Coming Dancing?!

I don't even know the ballet person.
I just think Bridget Jones or pride and prejudice!
So automatically think it should be a boys name not a girls!

Sounds like arsey.

Love it

Frikadellen · 22/09/2012 09:50

It is a loveley name imo

Darcy is my favourite girls' name ever. I don't live in the UK though so it's not particularly popular here for me to be sick of it!

I don't think Darcy Bussell, I think 'surname'.

There can only be one person with that name and that is, the once, principal ballerina. It looks rather sad and 'try hard' to name a child after someone with an unusual name who is so talented. This applies to any person in the public eye who can be identified, just by their first name. Sienna, Madonna etc.
It's a 'nuffin's too good for my liwwle pwincess' sort of a name, otherwise.

I used to really like it, but now it's so popular it's put me right off. Also all the Darcies I know have siblings with names I really don't like (think Lola, Emmy, Esree, Mimi, Bebe etc) so it's kind of categorised it for me as a 'silly' name.

Love it! Maybe not send her to ballet class...
