What do you think about Darcy for a girl?

I like the name Darcy (think i actually know someone who has just called their daughter this) but, its one of those names which could be either boy or girl, and for that reason I wouldnt use it.

I love it!

I like the name Darcy.

I won a competiton at a farm last year to name their newborn baby llama and I chose Darcy

I know of 3 baby Darceys.

It's the new Isobel/Isabelle/Isabel and is everywhere.

I love Darcy too! ...reminds of the prima ballerina Bussell!

I know a baby Darcie (spelt -ie) and I quite like it. Think I prefer the Darcy spelling though...I do think of Mr Darcy though which isn't a bad thing!!

Sorry I don't like it. I am not a fan of surnames as first names and I think Darcy is quite a faddy name and will.date badly.

Tis my BF's surname ... so no, not for me! Seems to be increasingly popular, though (and funnily enough she has an Isobel!)

Lovely lovely lovely

There were 3 at my toddler group recently, it is definately on a huge rise. I'm not that keen to be honest. Especially D'Arcey speeling which one of them I know is spelled.

I love it (see my username!) but DP veto-ed it straight out.

manicinsomniac · 25/11/2011 00:07

One of my friends has a one year old Darcey.

I'd never heard it before (other than Darcey Bussell) and wasn't keen but it's grown on me and I was surprised to find that Darcy/Darcey/Darcie are all becoming quite popular now (all top 300 for 2010)

Rhymes with arsey. There was a boy with the surname D'arcy in school, people called him arsey.

Will date badly.
