Darcy is more a girls name imo. Emmett is my favourite. Huxley and Moses are also nice. Saint is a bit silly tbh. Sylvester makes me think of Sylvester and tweety... Sorry x

Because of Darcy Bussell, most people consider Darcy to be a girls name nowadays, although it can be used for either.

Love Huxley and Emmett.

Not keen on Moses and Saint.

Sylvester _ ambivalent towards.

The only one of those I like at all is Emmett.

Darcy - 'OK' but not really my taste
Emmett - best name in this list
Huxley - surname
Moses - too biblical
Saint - a lot to live up to
Sylvester - cat

Emmett is the best on your list. Not too keen on others im afraid.

Isn’t saint the name of kim kardashians baby I would avoid for this reason

Emmett & Huxley are really nice. Moses is fine, too.

Sophronia · 25/09/2018 23:50

Emmett or Moses. How about Everett?

  • Darcy - girl's name, too feminine
  • Emmett - ok, but reminds me of the 14 year old African American Emmett Till who was brutally tortured and murdered by racists in Mississippi in the 1960s
  • Huxley - strange - are you a fan of Aldous Huxley and Brave New World?
  • Moses - I'd think you were ultra religious
  • Saint - I'd think you were a Kim Kardashian fan
  • Sylvester - hippie parents

Really don't like any of them.
I'd presume 'Darcy' was a girl.
I think Moses has rather a lot to live up to.
Saint isn't a name, it is a 'title' or could be said to be a description.
Sylvester is a cat.
Emmet and Huxley sound like surnames to me.
