We are currently between Heidi and Darcey for dd2 due in a couple of months. Which do you prefer? Or any other suggestions of similar names. Thanks :)

Heidi is lovely

Definitely Heidi. I've never warmed to Darcey.

My DD has 2 friends Called Heidi and Darcy. I would say that Heidi is timeless whereas Darcy has had it day. Kate garraway's DD is called darcy.. my DD is the same age and there are 3 that we know. Plus Heidi is a gorgeous name (in my opinion)

I prefer Heidi. Darcey sounds just too much like arsey to my ears

Monkeytapper · 10/07/2021 22:39

I have a Heidi, great name and the only Heidi in her primary school at the moment.

BigMamaFratelli · 10/07/2021 22:39

How is Polly like Heidi?!!!

Love Heidi. Darcy is just ok

Classica · 10/07/2021 22:39

Heidi. Nothing against Darcy just feel it might be this generation's Tracy. Nothing wrong with being called Tracy of course, but you might want a name that doesn't date so quickly.

Heidi...really not keen on Darcey

saraclara · 10/07/2021 22:36

I hate Darcey/Darcy. It's just so fake somehow.

Heidi. Darcy is also nice but I prefer it spelled Darcy.

BeagleMomma · 10/07/2021 22:33

Heidi for sure.

So many Darcy's around at the moment!

Heidi

DramaAlpaca · 10/07/2021 22:29

Of the two, Darcey.

Heidi is far too twee, I really dislike it.

Boomshakalack · 10/07/2021 22:29

Heidi. Not Darcy.

Heidi

Palilula · 10/07/2021 22:27

Heidi. Darcey seems like a surname to me. If it is a surname in your child's extended family this comment doesn't apply. If it's not, I prefer Heidi.

PiuVinoPerFavore · 10/07/2021 22:25

Heidi, definitely

StevieNix · 10/07/2021 22:24

Heidi, I personally am not a fan of the name Darcy. No idea why!
Polly is similar to Heidi and I love that too

waitingvpatiently · 10/07/2021 22:24

What's dd1 called?

Both are nice, I'd use what matches.

thistimelastweek · 10/07/2021 22:23

Darcey is nice.

Heidi is fab.

Thelazydog · 10/07/2021 22:22

Heidi by a country mile. Gorgeous name.
