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…

Darcy was definitely male in Neighbours!

Archie is a classic! Popular but because it is a nice name

Archie is twee and overused. It will date badly

Darcy is a girls name , don’t do it to him

Archie is just awful and Darcy is a girl’s name.

Darby used to be considered a boys name , but more recently is a girls babe.

Archie for sure

Ok I’m getting strong Darcy is a girls name so I’ve definitely reconsidered this for a boy. I just adore the name for a few literary and dance reasons! Archie is a special nickname for a family member. I’m now exploring many other names for both boys and girls. So many options! So many opinions!

I also really like Alfie but I guess it’ll be as unpopular as Archie - boy names are so hard? I love Valerie for girls but everyone I’ve spoken to says eww no they’ll get called Val that’s too old fashioned. Maybe I like old fashioned?

I love the name Valerie.

I agree about Archie (could do Archer as full name so it's more mature when he's older) over Darcy because I do think Darcy is a girl's name, but really similar name I came across was Darby which I thought was a cool boys name but was too out there for my DH haha

The only Darcy I know is a boy

(could do Archer as full name so it's more mature when he's older) Archer is awful. It's a surname.

Despite them both being ie short forms, I prefer Alfie to Archie. I just think it's a nicer sound. There' are also a lot less of them around me, whereas Archie is practically the most popular boys name around me and has been for years.

There are loads of pre teen Alfies around here. Often shouted for as Al-Fay

Archie 100%, all Darcy’s I know are female.
