Thinking of Darcey for first DD due in 5 weeks?
What do you think? Will people think of Strictly Coming Dancing?!

I ADORE it! I don't think of the ballerina or Mr Darcy, but of a girl who went to guides with me, who was lovely :)

I love it. Sounds classy. Don't know any Darcy's. And I can invisage Darcy the school girl, Darcy the cool teen, Darcy the doctor or MD!

I love it. To me it's more Pride and Prejudice than ballet though, so it would be Darcy.

I love the name Darcy, it was going to be DD's name until my dad went oh we can call her Arsey Darcy. It's now her middle name.

I'm not keen at all. I think it will date really quickly.

Interesting,all these Takes on the name,Darcy.Most of the movies in the U.S.
always catagorize a "Darcy" as a red-headed hooker with a big heart,bad taste
in clothes,and not too Bright in the head.I grew up learning to Shun that name:
but after reading so many opinions on it...I am starting to like that name.

I don't like it. I think of it in the same vein as Scarlett, just try hard and little bit affected.
