Female version or Darryl?

[ColourfulOrangex]

Hi I am expecting a baby girl and was in the early stages of pregnancy when my partner passed away in a RTA, we had picked both a girl and boys name which I am sticking with but I was debating putting her daddy's name as a middle name (if i could find one that went - if not she still has the name we chose together ) but not sure what female versions of Darryl that there is.

Any suggestions? Thank you

Darryl Hannah is a well known female actress so I think it's quite neutral.

Firstly, I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. 💐
There is an American actress called Darryl Hannah, so you could use her Daddy's name.
Other similar names ;
Darlene
Darelle

So sorry for your loss

Darrell Rivers was the main character in Mallory Towers ( my favourite books as a child) and she was a girl. Darryl would be a lovely tribute.

Sorry for your loss

Darryl has had some use as a girls name (like Daryl Hannah and the character Darrell from Mallory Towers), so it might be nice to give her Darryl as a middle name.

I think it would be fine as a girls name. So sorry for your loss.

You could also use something similar sounding like Daria, Darian, Dahlia, Darcey, Dara or Darina.

Thank you all, I think I will definitely put Darryl in there hadn't thought of using it just as it was, thank you again

I think Darryl works well as a neutral name

So sorry for your loss.
Darryl works well for either girl or boy, but you know what so what if it is a boys name you are using it as a tribute to her daddy so who cares
My sisters middle name is my uncles first name - a very traditional Scottish name

Darrelle

I know a Darlyn

So sorry for your loss. think using Darryl as a mn is a very fitting tribute

I would use Darryl. She'll love the connection to him 💐.

I would use Darryl. I agree. It's lovely for a girl.

So sorry for your loss.

Thank you all, Darryl it is

good luck to you both.

So sorry for your loss

I went to university with a girl called Darryl

Sorry for your loss, OP

So sorry for your loss. Darryl as a middle name will be a beautiful tribute 🌷

Sorry for your loss op. As others have said and assured you, Darryl is just fine as it is as tribute

Sorry for your loss . That is a lovely tribute. I think Darryl is neutral enough (due to Daryl Hannah). But also I don't think it matters whether it's boy/girl/neutral- my middle name is William.

Thank you all because we weren't married she won't be able to have him named on her birth certificate so I wanted a tribute somehow

OP I'm so sorry about your partner.

Are you sure you can't name him on the birth certificate?

It may be different up here in Scotland but I'm 99% certain that unmarried couples can put the fathers name on the birth certificate?

And I taught a girl called Darryll years ago - lovely name

I forgot to mention I thought Darryl was fine (and yes, it is the famous Malory Towers main character, Darrell, from one of Blyton's husband's names, here ) I do hope you manage to get your partner's name on the birth certificate, perhaps someone will be able to advise you.
