DH and I have recently discovered the following name for a girl, and it's become one of our top 2 for a girl but cannot decide on spelling and are after opinions.

Darcie
Darcy
Darcey

For a GIRL not a boy ;-)

In 2012 (most recent available stats) in England and Wales

632 baby girls were named Darcey
528 were named Darcy
476 were named Darcie

The highest used version for boys was Darcy but only 27 boys were named that.

Whatever spelling you use, in her generation it's going to be most commonly used for girls.

My cousin has just had a baby with that name- Darcey

It was on the short list for my dd- Darcy

It depends if your happy to be 'Darc(e)y with/ without the e' instead of just the name!

I like Darcy the best - but I've no knowledge of how the name should be spelled for a girl.

I'd use D'Arcy for a boy (I think) because that the traditional spelling?

Go for whatever is traditional for a girl. Someone will come along soon and know what that is. -Helpful-
