Darlie and Jessup

Whilst in Florida, DH and I met another couple with children. The mom's name was Darlie and one son was called Jessup (spelling?). The husband and other children had common names.

I actually really liked those names but was thinking about how they couldn't be used in the UK because of the judgement you would receive. I know Darlie is a bit cutesy, but it's not any more cutesy than similar names that are considered acceptable and mainstream (Elsie, Rosie, Poppy). Jessup isn't too eccentric to me either. What do you think?

Jessops is the name of the maternity hospital where I live. Or a high street photo place.

Yep
and Jessup isn’t a a name - it’s a made up series of letters

Please don’t.

They're dreadful names

I assume it’d be spelt Jessop. Nickname Jesse? I dislike Jessop but Jesse is cute.

Darlie is ok…
