Darcy.

[foolserrand]

For a girl. Thoughts and feelings please.

We I are considering Darcy Ava if bump turns out to be a girl. We have a rather strong, not too common surname beginning with a Gr.

I'm biased - Darcie is my daughters name. it's beautiful and it's still not that common

I know an adult one; spelt with an 'ie'; I've always thought it very pretty.

Love it -It was one our list and I love the spelling mentioned above. I think Darcie Ava is absolutely beautiful!

Hadn't considered that spelling. It's nice! Thank you! :)

Darcy Ava - does she ever??
Not good IMO

Love Darcie but think Darcy is the masculine spelling of the name. So would go for Darcie or Darcey? Not sure whether Ava goes as a middle name.

Can't get past the 'arse' sound in the middle, sorry.

Disagree about it not being common - it's v popular here.

I have a Darcey, so clearly I think it's a lovely name.

However, with the middle name you're planning it could sound a bit 'does she ever?'.

It's a marmite name on MN, but clearly the lovers have got here first this time

It's sort of popular around here, but the only other two I've ever heard of were passing in the street. It's still unused enough.

I rather like it.

There are a fair few around here, spelt either Darcy or Darcey.

Always makes me think of Arsey.

Will she smoulder in doorways and swim through lakes in a see-through shirt? Will she have beautiful grounds at Pemberley and fail to talk to strangers at parties?

ROFL notnow - it wasn't until DD was born and I got chance to sit down and do some serious catching up on that pile of books I'd been collecting that I realised the faux pas we'd made giving her Elizabeth as her middle name. but

Like it, but prefer the Darcy spelling, as I have a pathelogical hatred of names ending ....ie.

I like it, but I wouldn't go with Ava as a mn- it sounds like all one odd word running together. There are quite a lot of Darcys/Darcies round these here parts.

Darcey and very very popular in se London!!

Love it. I only know one and she spells it Darcy.

Eugh, chavsville.

Not that popular where we live.

Tis hardly chavsville is it? Given La Bussell. I think Ava is pretty too BUT her initials would then be DAG, as in 'bit daggy'...

Two darcies in my prenatal group from April this year. Not sure if that makes it common. I personally like it.

I have to say I do think it's a chavvy name.

I love this name but personally I think I would spell it Darcie as its a bit more feminine like that.

eggnog the most famous and not exactly common ballerina of our time...you'd have called her chavvy?!

She was/is 'Darcey'.

No. Boy in my school had the surname D'arcy, he can always called arsey.
