What do you think of Darcy???

DD1 is called Daisy, DH thinks if we have a girl Daisy & Darcy sounds a bit odd and is not convinced.
If its boy it'll never have a name as we don't agree on anything!!

Just curious what people think??

I like it - had it as a girl's name when ds was born 15 years ago and forgot all about it till now so dd (4) missed out. damn.

Darcy and Daisy does sound odd. Like rabbit names or something.....

Daisy & Poppy sound good.

Don't like Darcy and it's too similar to Daisy. Go for another flower - Lily, Rose, Poppy, etc. Not Bracken tho...

Darcy has never sounded like a name to me.

Daisy and Darcy does sound daft

zazen · 22/07/2008 11:56

not D'arsey!
really it's all a bit pride and prejudice isn't it?

Poppy and Daisy sounds much better - but remember your DDs will grow up, so you're free not to follow a wild flower theme!

Not Darcy.

mavornia · 22/07/2008 11:51

I love Darcy but think it's a too close to Daisy

What about:

Scarlett
Hope
Summer

hi

I love this name and its on my list but DH hates it. I prefer it for a girl though

janeite · 19/07/2008 16:52

Never heard of her!

nailpolish · 19/07/2008 16:51

its very chavvy
kate garraway named her daughter darcy - says it all really. she is a numpty

whatdayisit · 19/07/2008 16:50

There is a Darcy at DS1 Beaver group, but it's a boy? He's a nightmare!

janeite · 19/07/2008 16:44

I like Darcy (it is mythical daughter number 3's middle name!) and don't think it is chavvy at all - but I agree it doesn't really "go" with Daisy (which I also love; it is one of dd2's names).

nickeldime · 19/07/2008 16:37

Darcy is much more of a boy name nowadays. Quote "There were 9 times more girls than boys who were named Darcy in 1970" from:

I think Darcy is a real pretty girls name....however, as you already have a Daisy...I kind of can see your dh's point about it sounding odd....

If you like Darcy for a Girl, how about Dante for a Boy...

ellideb · 19/07/2008 13:40

I know of a little boy called Darcy. Always thought it was more of a girls name though.

WeeBesom · 19/07/2008 13:34

I have two girls with E names. I like it. Not that worried about the postal issues lol

Nancy66 · 19/07/2008 13:34

I think it's becoming a wee big chav...

MKG · 19/07/2008 13:33

It's my sister's name. She has never met another Darcy in her 33 years of life. Which is very cool.

Are you going for a D theme?

wheresthehamster · 19/07/2008 13:28

No - rhymes with arsey. Don't do it.

twelveyeargap · 19/07/2008 13:24

I don't think it "goes" with Daisy to be honest, but maybe that sort of thing only bothers me.

I like Darcy, but not with Daisy.

But please not Poppy or Bracken - imagine an adult with those 'cutesy' names. Not good.

Thanks, it is very similar to Daisy, we just never agree on names! Think this baby will be at school before we agree on a name

I don't see Darcy as at all chavvish , almost the opposite.

I really like it, in fact was on my list, but agree, not with Daisy. Maybe you could change DD1's name
