Darlie and Jessup

Whilst in Florida, DH and I met another couple with children. The mom's name was Darlie and one son was called Jessup (spelling?). The husband and other children had common names.

I actually really liked those names but was thinking about how they couldn't be used in the UK because of the judgement you would receive. I know Darlie is a bit cutesy, but it's not any more cutesy than similar names that are considered acceptable and mainstream (Elsie, Rosie, Poppy). Jessup isn't too eccentric to me either. What do you think?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Exactly this!

I love Jesse. Jessop is a surname. It has a nice sound IMO, for a surname.

Darlie is cute if short for something.
