Darcy or D'Arcy - first thought.....Boy or Girl??

[nopinkplasticshite]

Due in 2 weeks (eek!) and I already have 2 DS's. So we are sorted for girls names.... but boys???????? We are all out of 'em!
I like Darcy for a boy but there is a girl called Darcy in DS1's pre-school and now I'm confused as to whether it's a boys name or a girls name.

Also I had friends about 20 years ago who named their dog D'Arcy - but meh... even that doesn't put me off.
First impressions / your opinions please?

weimy, I think you doth protest too much. I'm sure your dog is lovely

Def girl. There are 4 at the toddler group i go to, one is spelt D'Arcy. I don't like that spelling! Surely will get called Arcy? It's going to be top ten soon surely as it is so popular for girls.

BooBoo check out my profile pic she is the smallest

I know a girl Darcy. Bit effeminate for a boy IMO.

I was about to type Please don't but I see Shiney has done it already.

The only Darcy I know is a 40 year old bloke

Darcey - just about OK for a girl. Please not D'Arcy (shouldn't that be d'Arcy?) and defo not a boy's name.

D'Arcy is a common enough surname in my area in Ireland. Anyone I know with the surname is/has been called arsey. If you are going to use it, please don't use the apostrophe. What are your other DS's called? Just to get a flavour of the type of names you like, can suggest some then.

Sorry BodyofChrist - there is no way I'm telling because I will get totally slated on MN for them - and totally out myself in RL!!
Suffice to say they are surnamey names - one which I love, love, love and one which has become far too popular and common (and not in a good way common!)

nopin Choose a name you like you are the one who will be using it xx

4 girl Darcys in the groups we go to. So super popular round here for some reason!

Its a girls name ..and I like it ,but then I'm probably a certain socio economic type

Definitely I would expect a girl.

What about Darwin instead?
