Which boys name?

[DevonDonnie]

Just trying to get an idea on which name people prefer for a boy.

Darcy or Archie.

Both names have significance for me personally for different reasons. One for a family resemblance and one for a lifestyle (hard to explain). I love both…

Archie. | have known two Darcy's- both female- I think it could be difficult for him being mistaken for a girl unfortunately.

I’ve never heard of Darcy for a boy. Everyone will presume he’s a girl.

I have also only heard of female Darcys. Apart from Mr Darcy and that is his surname, and his first name is never revealed in the book.

I don't like Archie but Darcy is established as a girl's name. Babies with names beginning Darc in England & Wales since 1996

Mr Darcy was Fitzwilliam.

Know many, many Darcy’s. All female. Unless you're in australia where apparently it is mainly for boys.

but archie is meh.

Fitzwilliam

I think Darcy is a girls name. I personally don't like boys names with an "ie" ending. They're cute when they're little but I'm not so keen on it for an adult.

Darcy is very much a girls name.

Archie is fine but a bit dated, it was super popular about 15/20 years ago.

Thanks for replies- Archie has a special family connection and Darcie I’ve always liked for a girl for a good personal reason, and thought Darcy with a y was the male version of it.

Both Darcy and Darcie (and Darcey) are definitely girls’ names. Archie is ok.

Darcy is definitely predominantly a girls name. I couldn't do that to a son.

Archie isn't for me, personally, but it's far preferable to Darcy for that very reason.

Archie definitely. Darcy is a girls name.

Love Darcy but for a girl. Therefore I’d go Archie.

Darcy is definitely a girls name - we have loads round here mostly spelt with a y.

Archie is lovely.

Thanks all :)

Another vote for Archie!

Archie is so boring........... but I thought Darcy is okay for a boy. It was explained to me the same as Lacey and Lacy that one is for girls and one for boys.

Whilst I think of Darcy as more of a girl’s name, the first person I think of is the male rugby player Darcy Graham.

Archie ❤️

I don’t actually know if I’m having a boy or a girl but I love the name Darcie/Darcy and thought it could be both genders but it seems most are disapproving of it being a boys name. Was worth asking.

I have only ever known of male Darcys.
I know about five Darcys, from two to thirty years old in Australia.

I met one D'Arcie who was female.

Archie just because Darcy is a girl's name

Archie of the two. Not my cup of tea but there’s lots out there. Darcy/Darcie/Darci/Darcey (I have seen all these spellings) has definitely gone to the girls so there might be a high potential for teasing on a boy.

Darcy is female
Archie is way over used.
Do you like any more op?

Ah sorry just read your update.
Darcie is great for a girl.
