too porn star?

[DonnyLass]

my family name is duffy

dh is darcy

is duffy darcy too pornstar is it funky?

spidermama

you rock

I actually love it too despite the likely onslaught from family and secret scoffs of friends!

Ah see, I love Daphne -- it's my mother's name. She loathes it though and when I told her our DD's middlename would be my MIL's, she said thank God it's not Daphne!
I personally think that Daphne Darcy would be a lovely name.

Ignore these fools with no imagination. A name has come to you straight from the heavens and it is your duty to stand by it. She will thank you for it.

not a wind up no ... although dh thinks I am beyond help

whispers ...

luuuuurrrrve delilah (was on shortlist for girls here)

ta ... I loved delilah too ... fought against the wave of nooooooos from family during first preg and now dd1 just IS Delilah!!!!!

MN is quite conservative on the whole as far as names go. If I were you I'd keep the name under your hat. Don't let anyone else know in case they pull a face or display their lack of familiarity in some other way.

Less common names are getting more common ifkwim. It's only at this point (ie when you're still considering, so the name isn't quite real yet) that people feel the need to question and critisise, therefore, when you come up with such a beauty as this, which also has real roots in your family, you should keep on the right track and don't let anyone divert you. Take, for example, Tiger Woods. 'Tiger' that is. No-one's disputing or even questioning his name now are they. Because it's real now, and what a cracker.

I think you got a good 'un and you know it.

must sleep

Duffy D'Arcy is kicking for me to turn puter off ...

dh just keeps shaking is head

watch this space ...

I like it, but won't she get called Duff? Though according to my baby names book, there is a boy's name Duff!

How about... erm...

Dymphna
Dulcie! Dulcie Darcy
Daffodil (yes it's in the book - cool book I have)
Delphine

Poor dh

not that poor ... if a boy he wants to call it ATTICUS

poor child!!!!!

Francesca Duffy D'arcy.

We gave my dd a middle name which is the same as dh's middle name (she has two) and is my mil's maiden name. My dd is horribly embarrassed by this name and if anyone asks what her middle name is she says Helen and not the other one. At least she can get away with it.

You have to think about these things

I like it.

You are a pair of loons

There's an Atticus at dd's school. He gets called 'Atty'. I like it.

She will get the double d's joke at her at some point in her life!

Oh i LOVE it!!! Dililah is also fantastic and on my baby name list this time. So is Dulcie.

You must convince him. I quite like Atticus too, it was on the list for ds, he is Beau. I named him 12 weeks BEFORE Emma frickin Bunton named her baby!

DH wants to call the next one Rudyard... and you think you need help!

Delilah even!

dd1's middle name is delilah

Could she not have daphne 9or another name)as her "real" name and Duffy as a nickname? My mother is only known by her middle name - her first name is the same as her mothers

You are naming an adult woman. An adult woman who wants to be taken seriously will not thank you for being called Duffy. Somebody said that it's "cute" It is - but a kick-ass corporate lawyer will not want to be called Duffy Darcy.Lie down in a darkened room until you feel better.
