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

Salmotrutta I spoke to someone the citizens advice and they said because we weren't married he would of had to of been present when we registered her birth (clearly can't happen) the only other way is for a DNA test from a member of his family and then the courts have to grant permission, looking at about £5000 so not doable currently, I think they should have exceptions once a parent has passed

Thank you reuset

Ah, I see.

That's such a shame OP

It is but she will know all about him and by using his name it's an extra little part of him for her

Your post was now over a year ago, I am just checking in. Hope all is well with you and your daughter and you doing this on your own. Always in my thoughts and prayers

@Dbroek2601 hi thank you that means a lot, yes all is well she will be 1 soon not quite sure where the time has gone, having her helps she's so cheeky but definitely has her dads stubbornness

Just go with Darryl lovely sentimental reasoning for choosing it as one of her names .

Sorry for your loss. Darryl is fine as a girl's name. Darlyn is awful.

Sorry for your loss.

Was going to suggest Darrell, as a PP said, but if it’s a tribute then I would stick with the Darryl spelling.

Didn’t realise this was an old thread. Hope you’re doing OK, OP.

Thank you all, she has Darryl as her middle name

Congratulations on your lovely DD and I am so sorry for the loss of your DP .

Wishing you both all the best for the future x

The girls name Daryelle means “she is a gift”

Darryl would be lovely
