Darcie or Darcy?

[BambieO]

Hi all

Quick fire round

Do you prefer Darcie or Darcy? I am not sure on Darcey but what the hell throw that in the mix too!

Thanks

Fabulous name.

DD2 is called Darcy

One friend insists on spelling it D'Arcy

Bambie your DD2B is only the second other little Darcy I have heard of (I mean I am not counting Darcey Bussell as she is a Grown Up)

Mine, the DD of one of our builders, and now yours! I am not sure why but this is making me inordinately pleased and I am sitting here from ear to ear!

I have a Darcy. She was gonna be Darcie but when all the Congrats on your new baby cards arrived they all had it spelt Darcy.
So it seemed logical to go with that.
Oddly in cards since she's had a few Darcey's too.

My dd3's middle name is Darcy

Darcy is my favourite. Then Darcey. I tend not to like ie spellings,

OH Darcy was on our list.

BTW Darcy is in our name book as meaning dark one or dark haired one.

I am positive she (if it is a she! we still don't know but have settled for a boy's name already) will be dark haired so that will fit nicely

You could always use Marcie instead. I knew one years ago - it was short for Marcella.

FWIW, I've got a children's book from the early 1900s in which it's spelt 'Darcey'

I love the name and wanted it for our second dd but dp wasn't keen. If we ever had another girl I would probably try and talk him round. I didn't know it meant "dark haired one" either, dd2 was born with a full head of dark hair, would have suited her perfectly :)

Sorry, just realised I haven't answered your question at all. I think I'd go for Darcy!

Darcy.Used to like the name until I meet a girl called Darci and shes horrid!

Darcy

We have a Darcey. Someone got our reason further upthread. It seems less cutesy than -ie and Darcy looks like a boy's name.

And it just 'looked' right next to our surname and the other spellings didn't

We have had every conceivable spelling under the sun though, so she will be destined to a life of constantly correcting people however you spell it.

I love Marcie too, but a friend had already nabbed that one

Darcy. I know a D'Arcy and people take the mick.

Thanks all BTW! Darcy it is
