For a girl. I think I like it. A bit too Malory Towers?

I love the name Darrell for a girl, inspired my Mallary Towers. My only fear is it would be shorted to Daz as a nickname which I don't like

I like it. There's also Dara which is lovely for a boy or girl.

I think it’s fine as long as your surname isn’t Rivers Grin

A person I truly distrust and dislike is called, "Darrell" and I think the name is terrible due to association. However, that person is a man.

"Darrell" for a girl is okay but I much prefer "Daryl".
There's Daryl Hannah, the actress.
Daryl Hall is a man but it's a cool spelling and he's a pretty cool guy.

Hmm. I'm a bit worried about the boy/girl confusion, also can't really think of any plausible nicknames. But I've got a bit attached to it!

It is not at all to my taste, and a bit confusing on a girl. But it is not the worst I've heard!

Love it.
