Opinion on Darren

[user1489781128]

What do you guys think of this name for a boy?

Just unbelievably awful. Please don't..

Only if his brothers are called Wayne and Gary .

Why do you think it's awful? I'm actually interested into why?

And his girlfriend is called Tracy

I would laugh if someone i knew called their baby Darren. I don't know why.

I actually don't get why this name is so bad to you guys :(

No, not yet. Another 20 years or so and you would get away with it as retro - perhaps

If you don't mind the chavvy nickname 'Daz' when he's a teen

It's an era thing. There are a handful of names that conjure up very strong images of people, attitudes, lifestyles and attitudes pretty much universally. I don't think Darren is the worst of those but it slips in that direction.

It just seems very 80's. I can't imagine it on a baby. Maybe it'll come back around in 30 years but I can imagine you might get a few raised eyebrows when introducing DS.

Definitely not. Same as Wayne and Kevin.

This is the umpteenth name thread you have posted - go look at a baby name book. Or anything, really!

If you're not sure about Darren, how about Darragh (an Irish name).

Blankpieceofpaper- yep! thought the user name was familiar-loads of name threadsb

Darren is a 40 year old bloke driving an xr3i.
Sorry.

It's very dated.

Kelly, Barry, Gary, Kevin, Wayne, Colin

I knew a couple called Darren and Tracy.

But no - just don't saddle him with this.

Didn't know there was a limit to the number of posts I can post on here

Dazzzzaaaaa!

Just don't.

Only if you refer to him as "our Darren".

I don't like it. I know a few bit I think it I'd dated.

I used to fancy a boy called Darren even though I couldn't fancy his name
He must be about 50 now and probably a grandad.

I've a lovely friend called Darren. I wouldn't saddle a child with the name. Not yet time for its revival.

Every Darren I know ended up in prison. It's a no no!
