would you think boy or girl?

[namechangefornaming1]

Hi -simple question - if you heard the name Dara would you think it was a boy or girl? It may help if you said whether you were in the UK (I am). Thanks for your time x

Agree totally with a PP about Dara O'Briain and how people say his, I wonder does he pronounce it like that or is it just other people?

It's just other people, he says it the Irish way. I guess you'd need to be ok with the different pronunciations if you choose Dara.

I would say girl UK my Irish born husband says Boy.

I think the girl version would be spelt different though.

Boy; England.

Boy - england

Boy — England

Boy (I’m in wales but the Dara/darragh I know are Irish and both boys)

Girl - England.

Either

(England near Wales)

Boy. Definitely a boys name.

Boy - England.
Only because of Dara O'Braian

Boy. I thought of Dara O'Braian too.
I’m in England.

Dara Ó Briain. I mean.

Girl - US

Boy. England

I've only ever heard of Dara O'Brien, but think it's quite a unisex name, so could work for both.

male
uk
worked with a Dara who was male

Boy. Ireland

If heard it spoken, rhyming with Tara, I would assume girl. Pronounced Darra, I’d assume boy.

Written down, unisex. But my initial feeling would be girl. (UK)

I would automatically think girl but a friend of a friend has a toddler boy named Dara

Just to add they are Irish but live in the UK

Girl. England

Loving this thread OP! I'm Irish living in the UK and considering Dara if baby turns out to be a boy. That's my preferred spelling too.

Boy, Uk
