Hi everyone
Ever since I found out I was expecting me and OH have LOVED the name Darcey for a girl. However, looking through forums here and on other sites - it seems to have had a massive surge in popularity and now I am not so sure. OH is still keen but I hate the idea of DD being one of several when she gets to nursery/school etc. My current fave alternative is Romilly. My OH has a long French surname - Crouzieres. I think Romilly Rose Crouzieres sounds beautiful but OH is still leaning towards Darcey Elizabeth.
PLEASE HELP! Going round in circles here!!!!

Ally (33 + 5 with yellow bump)

ps - name we have so far for boy is Zachary Andrew. Opinions and/or alternatives appreciated!!!

I know two Darceys, so it is becoming more common. Rommily is lovely

Hi - I adore the name Romilly but was not allowed it with my 2nd DD as I had named our first DD (tsk!) I'm not keen on Darcey but like Dulcie...
Not keen on Zachary, sorry...my fave boy name of the moment is Hugo....

How about a compromise? Romilly Elizabeth? Beautiful.

How about Solomon for a boy?

Romilly is lovely. I don't really like either Darcey or Zachary, tbh.

I suspect you are right that Darcey will be a more common name, although not all that common.

On balance, I prefer Romilly, but both are nice.

Just a thought - what about Elodie ?

I'm not a huge fan of Zachary

Darcey is definitely very popular and will date a DD. I think Romilly is gorgeous and there certainly won't be loads. That could be because I taught a lovely Romilly though.
