Well I like it but it does sound very American...kind of want to say it in a deep South accent. It's pretty though.

I really like it.

I would assume you were a buffy fan!

Yeah sorry that kid in nemo was the first thing that came to mind and I haven't seen that movie in probably 12 years

I have a cousin named Darla, now in her fifties. She was bubbly as a kid, very intelligent. Did really well career wise.

Yes finding Nemo I knew I'd heard the name before!

DramaAlpaca · 24/03/2020 01:37

It's not my style, but there's nothing wrong with it.

First thing that came to mind was - EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE

If you like it that's all that matters.

But it has the association with that "delightful" child in Finding Nemo, so she might not thank you in years to come.

You've ticked all the boxes that people usually want ticked on here:
Easy to pronounce
Easy to spell
An established name
Not ten a penny so less chance of being Darla X at school
Uncommon without being ridiculous, ugly, extremely old-fashioned or scraping the barrel (that occasionally happens when someone is trying to be as unusual as possible but thankfully rarely!)

Plus, you like it! You've nailed this naming business Wink

P.s. I totally think of Buffy. Darla was badass.
