Darcy or Violet?

[user1492042423]

Thanks :)

Call me petty but my daughter who is a miracle baby, who has special needs is called Darcey and to hear people say things like 'that's an awful name' etc ..well it hurts to be honest.
Yes we can't all like the same names but there's no need to be so damn well cruel about it.

Very sorry to hear about your daughter's problems ilove and wish you both all the best. However you are being far too sensitive. No one is being 'cruel' they just have different taste from you. For what it's worth I wouldn't choose Darcy myself but it is not horrible at all. And the dancer Darcy Bussell is a nice association - she's certainly very feminine!

I remember my own DD's name got slated on here once, I did feel a bit indignant and slightly upset, silly, but just an instinctive reaction I suppose. I just looked on other topics, and gave the baby names section a rest for a while. It's not personal, not about you and your baby.

I'd be fine with one or two negative reactions, but when more then one person says that Darcey gets slated on MN regularly and how everyone 'hates' it, it makes it a little more then just someone's opinion.
Im pretty fussy with names, so I'd probably detest everyone's choices, but I wouldn't show such a strong hate for it on here, incase someone had chosen that name.

I love Darcy.

Love Darcey......just like the lovely ballerina Darcey Bussell.

Reminds me of grace, beauty and success.

ignore the haters!! Go with what you want

The thing with MN is that people can hide behind a screen and become a keyboard warrior....if we all the like the same it would be very boring.

I have a Darcey and get so many compliments and lots of people saying they've only ever met lovely little girls that are called Darcey too!

Violet is lovely.
