We have similar taste, OP. I adore Georgia, Lucy and lucia.
I really dislike Darcey though.

Lucy or Georgia. Lucia has proninciation issues and for some reason darcey has become a bit chavvy. Don't know why as it is a lovely name but has lost its shine.

I love Lucy Grin

Can only think of colin firth when i hear darcey. Both mark and mister. Swoons

I remember Kate garraway named her baby daughter Darcey a few years ago, it must be 6 or 7 years ago now? It was soooo 'in' around that time.

I would choose Lucy or Georgia.

I like Lucia, but would never choose it because of people not knowing how to say it/pronouncing it differently to each other.

I dislike Darcey.

  1. Lucia - lovely, although there are at least 3 different pronunications, loo-see-a, loo-chee-a, loosha, etc (I think there are more) but still when people get to know her they will use the right one.
  2. Georgia, I like this, although I think I slightly prefer Georgina.
  1. Lucy is fine of course, and classic, but I have somehow always thought of it as a bit 'frilly' and ultra-girly.
  1. Darcey - has a nice sound, but I don't really approve of surnamey first names.

I love Darcey, quite like Georgia but don't like Lucy or lucia. From other posts looks like I'm in the minority though.

Darcey is my favourite :)

Our little girl is going to be Darcey Michelle. I posted on here quite a few weeks ago to help with choice and everyone was really mean about Darcey so for a little bit I was put off but reaction in real life has been really positive so we are deffinately going with it

Georgia is the nicest by far :)
