Hi
Trying to finalise a girls name, I thought we were set on Nancy but Dh likes Darcey now as well. Do you like it or know many?

I like it!

Rox19 · 12/08/2015 13:02

The new Tracey even sounds very similar !

I think its awful, and too popular for my taste.

PatriciaHolm · 12/08/2015 13:00

I don't know any! Male or female. Whereas I know several Nancys.

I think it's quite dated (excusing the Jane Austen connection), very 90s.

I'd avoid Darcey. It's very 'now' and in twenty years time might have suffered the same fate as Tracey.

Stick with Nancy, a lovely name!

I know an American Darcey in her 30s. It suits her but I'm not a fan of the name. Or any surname as first name names!

I know 2 female Darcey's and 1 male Darcy, all under 6.

I like it for a girl but not a boy.

Much nicer than Nancy IMHO.

You see it hyphenated a fair bit too lately. E.g. Darcie-Rae, Darcey-Lee etc

reuset · 12/08/2015 11:51

Yes. It is super popular, especially if you add up all the spelling variations; Darcy, Darcey, Darcie. Popularity isn't why I'm not a fan though.

Heard of two Darceys, lovely, feminine name
