Darcey/Darcie

[firsttimemumma89]

First name is set and will not change. The name is: Matilda.
Was going to use Rose as a middle name but very overused and some negative associations.
Have always loved the name Darcey/Darcie but unsure how to spell.

So which spelling would you choose and why?

Matilda Darcie
Matilda Darcey

Many thanks :-)

Darcey. Darcie looks overly cutesy to me.

I would have gone Darcy.

But on reflection I think that's because I'm most familiar with the name from Mr Darcy in P&P, so maybe spelling it that way is masculine?

I would also go Darcy but much prefer Matilda Rose, flows really nicely and is a beautiful name.

Darcy like Darcy Wretsky the others look wrong.

Actually its D'arcy

Prefer Rose as the middle name. Think Darcey quite strong and doesn't flow as well as Rose IMO.

Matilda Rose is much nicer.

Darcey, though I do prefer Darcy.

Darcie or preferably Darcy. Darcey looks clunky and misspelt. Darcie does look rather cutesy but not awful. Darcy is the most used & nicest spelling.

Of the two, Darcey. But as pp said, Darcy is better.

Darcey is a lovely name. I've also seen it spelt 'Darsey' but much prefer the former.

It's that 'da da' in the middle of the name that doesn't sound right.

Matilda Darcy

Darcy (spelt this way).

Prefer Matilda Rose but agree it's very popular.

Prefer Darcy.

What are the negative connotations with Matilda Rose or Rose? Didn't quite understand your OP.

*It's that 'da da' in the middle of the name that doesn't sound right.

MatilDA DArcy*

I agree completely. The two ‘da’ sounds in a row don’t sound good and I would avoid.

What other names do you like?

Darcy is the best spelling, I agree with others. It's the traditional spelling. The ways you've got it spelt look trendy. I'm not sure it goes with Mathilda, though... At least it's a unique middle name for the first.

I love the name Darcy (spelled that way), but I agree I don't think it flows great with Matilda!

My first name ends with the same letters as my surname begins and it doesn't roll off the tongue very well!

Darcy but from your options Darcey.

So due to my job I've met a few Rose/Rosie's that have put me off the name to be honest.
Any other suggestions?

Matilda Darcy.

I don't like Darcey or Darcie.

I too agree about the da da sound.
Would you not consider switching the names around to Darcie Matilda.

Matilda Florence
Matilda Grace
Matilda Louise
Matilda Jasmine
Matilda Elizabeth
Matilda Frances
Matilda Josephine
Matilda Lucy
Matilda Blythe

I think one syllable name with a 3 syllable is nice, but it will basically never be used. My kids know their middle nanes now, but only after they were about 8 and they never, ever use them. I think names with a meaning are nice so that there is a 'reason' for having a middle name eg. Named after someone precious to you, a particular role model, your maiden name, a name that means something you love (eg. Gift from God), a name given by a grandparent etc.

I knew an American call with that name, spelt it Darcy. Lovely name.

I like Darcy but I agree about the dada sound after Matilda - what about Dulcie?
