Georgia is the nicest by far :)

crazylady321 · 26/08/2014 23:18

Darcey is my favourite :)

Our little girl is going to be Darcey Michelle. I posted on here quite a few weeks ago to help with choice and everyone was really mean about Darcey so for a little bit I was put off but reaction in real life has been really positive so we are deffinately going with it

I love Darcey, quite like Georgia but don't like Lucy or lucia. From other posts looks like I'm in the minority though.

NadiaWadia · 26/08/2014 18:25
  1. Lucia - lovely, although there are at least 3 different pronunications, loo-see-a, loo-chee-a, loosha, etc (I think there are more) but still when people get to know her they will use the right one.
  2. Georgia, I like this, although I think I slightly prefer Georgina.
  1. Lucy is fine of course, and classic, but I have somehow always thought of it as a bit 'frilly' and ultra-girly.
  1. Darcey - has a nice sound, but I don't really approve of surnamey first names.

I would choose Lucy or Georgia.

I like Lucia, but would never choose it because of people not knowing how to say it/pronouncing it differently to each other.

I dislike Darcey.

FoodieMum3 · 26/08/2014 09:14

I remember Kate garraway named her baby daughter Darcey a few years ago, it must be 6 or 7 years ago now? It was soooo 'in' around that time.

LEMmingaround · 26/08/2014 09:14

I love Lucy Grin

Can only think of colin firth when i hear darcey. Both mark and mister. Swoons

Heels99 · 26/08/2014 09:11

Lucy or Georgia. Lucia has proninciation issues and for some reason darcey has become a bit chavvy. Don't know why as it is a lovely name but has lost its shine.

FoodieMum3 · 26/08/2014 09:10

We have similar taste, OP. I adore Georgia, Lucy and lucia.
I really dislike Darcey though.

Gemerama82 · 26/08/2014 09:09

In order of preference:

Lucy (lovely)
Georgia
Lucia
Darcey (really dislike this name)

itsmecathy · 26/08/2014 09:04

hlc123 · 26/08/2014 08:57

Thanks for the opinions, very helpful. Liking Lucia LOO-SEE-A best, despite issues with pronouncing it maybe. Can use Lucy as nickname. Darcey too risky as not tried and tested for long enough and chance of becoming common??
Like Georgia but not 'clicking'.

Many thanks

Lucy - Lovely.
Lucia - Okay but prefer Lucy, least favourite of these.
Georgia - Love it, favourite of these.
Darcey - Love it, but prefer the spelling Darcy.

Sophronia · 25/08/2014 23:34

Lucia is the nicest, followed by Georgia. Lucy is ok but I don't like Darcey at all.

LucyBabs · 25/08/2014 21:43

Lucy obviously Wink
Then Lucia. Its such a pretty but strong name.

Darcey/Darcy I just don't "get" it and how it has become popular sorry Blush

Babyleopard23 · 25/08/2014 21:40

Lucia is a really pretty name! I have a good friend with this name and no one has ever found it confusing or difficult.

They are all nice names but Darcey and Georgia are probably my least favourite!

magicalmrmistofelees · 25/08/2014 21:08

Love Georgia and Lucy Smile

RainbowB7 · 25/08/2014 21:01

Lucy by miles. Excellent name.

DramaAlpaca · 25/08/2014 21:00

I like Lucy a lot, but I'm not keen on any of the others.

Lucia will cause confusion with pronunciation.
Darcey/Darcy will date, and to me is just not an attractive name.
I don't have anything in particular against Georgia, I just much prefer Georgina.
