Baby name suggestions for surname Darling

[cdarling]

My partner and I haven't found out the sex of the baby but he or she is due in a few weeks and we are still stuck with baby names... we don't really like the typical UK names but don't want something too out there that he/she will be bullied over.

Send me your suggestions!

Indio

Seth
Abraham
Troy

Margaux
Beatrix
Nina

I'm really sorry, I love unusual names but I don't think any of them work with your surname. They all sound like suggestions.

Where shall we go? river, darling ?

Forrest Darling or Lindon Darling get my vote of your picks otherwise I would have suggested something double barrelled like Sarah-Jane or Mary-Jane or Noah-James, or if looking for more unusual names Xanthe or Seraphina for girls.

@cdarling thank you ☺️ and so very welcome xx

The Darling River is a huge Australian river so I wouldn't go with that. Your names are a bit too out there for me, sorry. I really don't think you can call a kid Leaf, Major, Scout, Thorn or Love. You're setting them up for a lifetime of bullying. Olive has always sounded fairly awful to me too. Like one of those old lady names that just doesn't work on young children.

Alistair or Grace.

"Alistair.😂😂😂😂 Are you sure.

Lennon Darling is OK.

Wilder Darling sounds like a question that someone would ask in the bedroom.

Other suggestions:
Forrestine Darling
Sequoia Darling (works for both sexes)

The names from the classic story Peter Pan would be perfect as the family's surname is of course Darling, how lovely. George,Mary, Wendy, Michael and John.. take your pick and congratulations

Definitely Major Darling! Though you might end up calling them a major pain in the arse instead sometimes!

All your choices are very....out there. I know you've said you don't particularly like English names. What about more typically American names?

Wilder Darling sounds great, but the name Wilder in its own isn’t so great. Almanzo?

Omg- Almanzo... Little House on the Prairie? Love it!!!

Of the ones you’ve listed, OP, I like Olive and Lindon.
Phoenix is fabulous too, from a PP.

From your list, Olive is the best.

I think you need some strong and simple to balance out the surname. Something like Jane or Ruth.

Fabian
Cy
Xander
Amos

Willow
Fearne
Joy
Nina

Rhett Darling

Farrah Darling

Leif (rather than Leaf) works better I think

Olive Darling is beautiful

What about:
Taran or Briar for a boy?

Blythe for either, but I like it for a girl

Don't choose Major Darling unless you want to encourage Blackadder impressions!
