darcy is lovely

not sure of lexi!!

I love both names but I'm an Evertonian and could never name my child the same as Steven Gerrards, LOL I'm joking, I wanted Lexi (Alexa) for my last baby but my sister (was due a few weeks after me) wanted it too so I just dismissed it. Darcy is one of them names that I've pushed for with each of my daughters and my DH refused it! Booooo to him. They're both lovely names but I do fear taht Lexi is becoming far too popular.

I also didnt like that as soon as we mentioned it people made a lot of negative comments "sexy Lexi" was the most worrying

Alexandra one of my fave names, a hot contender if I have a dd3.

Darcy v nice. Lexi is I think a name chosen by Amanda Holden and Alex Curran - neither of whom I would want to share my daughter's names with (miaoww!!).

sweetkitty · 25/04/2009 16:00

I like both briefly thought of Darcie for DD3 but DP didn't like it.

Alexandra nn Lexie is lovely

One of my girls' names means House of Figs

There were two lexies on the post natal ward when my ds was born. It just sounds like a nickname, so my vote goes to Darcy.

dizzydixies · 25/04/2009 10:44

oh thats lovely

MaureenMLove · 25/04/2009 10:42

Not back yet! Still on an aeroplane somewhere in the world! He's flight is due in at 4pm. Me and DD are going at about 12.30, I think. It'll take just over an hour to get there, but I need to be there well before the flight lands because he doesn't know I'm going!

dizzydixies · 25/04/2009 10:39

did he get home ok?

MaureenMLove · 25/04/2009 10:34

You? Bitter? Never!

That's me, DH reckons if I was a sweet, I'd be a cough candy, because I'm bitter and twisted!!

MaureenMLove · 25/04/2009 10:33

I agree with you. It's not just about being formal, but about the shouty aspect! It's Lexie, when everything is lovely and ALEXANDRA! when she's being told off! Tis an important thing to remember when maning your children!

dizzydixies · 25/04/2009 10:31

lol Mo, I'm apparently a bitter gift from god

ByTheSea · 25/04/2009 10:31

I like them both, although I like the spelling Darcey or Darcie better and I like the spelling Lexie.

MaureenMLove · 25/04/2009 10:29

I love both names. I can imagine little girls with gorgeous blonde hair, with a few curls and pretty little dresses on. Ridiculous, I know, but I just think both names are sooo pretty.

My name, incidentally, means heavenly and my middle name means vision of beauty. Oh well, if the cap fits!!

nellynaemates · 25/04/2009 10:28

They're not my personal cup of tea but I think they're both ok. If choosing Lexi I'd want to call her Alexandra so that she could have a choice later on, also think it's nice to have a formal name that can be reduced to a NN but I know lots of people disagree with me!

dizzydixies · 25/04/2009 10:04

absolutely not because of the Os in your surname balancing it out

ScorpiowithabigS · 25/04/2009 10:01

I really like Lexine...very nice. Dizzy is Lexie too much with my surname?

dizzydixies · 25/04/2009 10:00

imagine seeing you here Scorpio

lockets - we'll be laughing when they're ruling the world!

ScorpiowithabigS · 25/04/2009 09:58

I love Lexie, and its on my shortlist, well pretty much all the time!

I'm a firm believer in a)not looking at lists and b)not listening to anyone else when you're choosing your child's name. You're right - you're damned either way, aren't you!

A sparkly defender of mankind - what a fab meaning!

I cannot find it for love nor money now and am pretty sure I didn't make it up to suit as I showed it to DH!

anyway, regardless of the meaning I love it, it suits DD2 and she not only sparkles but defends her sisters too
