To go with Freddie Smile can't decide. Any other 'D' name suggestions too please.

I love Darcey, but then I’m very biased as I have one Smile

MaverickSnoopy · 10/09/2018 06:38

Darcy....but then I would say that because it is a strong contender on our list.

Sungura · 10/09/2018 06:33

You are asking what goes with Freddie. Darcy does. Delilah, though pretty, does not, even if you call her Lila. They just don't, to my ears, mesh at all. Dahlia is nice, but it gets us back to Dolly. Dorothy, Delia, and Darby go fine, too.

wizzler · 10/09/2018 01:58

Prefer Darcy.
How about Dinah?

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 10/09/2018 01:50

Darcy rhymes with arsey, don’t go there

Kizzybeau · 10/09/2018 01:41

Late on replying to this but my name is Darcey and I know I am biased but I love my name and I have always had compliments on it. My mothers cousin even named her daughter the same as she really liked the name and asked my mother if she’d mind.

Daisy

Definitely not Dolly or Delphi

MeyMary · 22/08/2018 12:20

You might also like Dahlia (if you like Delilah).

Daisy is a lovely name. Suits a grown up just as well as Rose or Violet imo... :)

Treaclepie19 · 22/08/2018 12:15

Daisy :)

dw23 · 22/08/2018 11:22

Darcy has my vote.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/08/2018 10:19

Daisy.

sulflower · 22/08/2018 06:06

I love Delilah, my husband's colleague has a daughter called Delilah.

Thank you for all the lovely suggestions.

Looks like it's pretty equal between Darcy and Daisy! I know an adult daisy too so I didn't really see it as a childish name. I think it's really pretty. As Pp said, by the time this generations children are middle aged, all names that are too "cutesi" for an adult now, will be quite normal. I got told Freddie was childish too but I still went for it anyway.

I do really love Dulcie, Delilah and Delphi out of all the suggestions. OH doesn't like Dulcie or Delphi, but says he could probably warm to Delilah. Grin will have to just see what she looks like!

Darcy.
Really don’t like daisy. Just can’t imagine an adult daisy.

firsttime17 · 21/08/2018 20:33

I prefer Darcy but other 'D' names I love are Dakota and Delilah x

MeyMary · 21/08/2018 20:33

Daisy is lovely.

I'm not too fond of Darcy/Darcie.
And I really dislike Dulcie.

Other suggestions:
Daphne, Dana (unisex like Freddie), Darya, Dawn, Davina, Della, Delta, Dilys or maybe Dree/Andrea nn Dree?

Icklepup · 21/08/2018 20:22

Daisy

kenandbarbie · 21/08/2018 20:19

Oh and Dulcie is gorgeous!!

kenandbarbie · 21/08/2018 20:19

I prefer darcy to darcey
Daisy is ok
I really like Margaret / Marguerite shortened to Daisy though

PixelAteMe · 21/08/2018 19:19

I’m surprised by the pps saying Daisy isn’t a suitable name for a grown woman. My DGM was a Daisy, so to me it has always felt like an old lady name! There are already so many young Daisys that it will be commonplace by the time they are middle-aged.

Daisy is a “gentle” name, like all the flower names. Darcey sounds more assertive. I like both.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 21/08/2018 18:59

I like both.

Probably Daisy more but I think Darcey goes better with Freddie!
I know someone with the Darcie spelling too.

Della
Dina
Donna
Dominique
Dulcie
Daphne
Dawn

twoundertwo54321 · 21/08/2018 18:57

Daisy is soft, playful and cute so that's the sort of person I would associate.

Darcey sounds stronger, more serious and modern.

daisypond · 21/08/2018 18:55

Daisy - at a push. I really dislike Darcy/Darcey/Darcie - I think it's downmarket.

sulflower · 21/08/2018 07:57

Darcy but probably because I know an older Darcy and she's lovely.

Frankwindsor · 21/08/2018 07:53

Darcy
