too porn star?

[DonnyLass]

my family name is duffy

dh is darcy

is duffy darcy too pornstar is it funky?

i love the alliteration too...my married name works that way and i love it!! i think if it is a family name then it has a tradition of it's own. it is quite usual to do it in other countries so why not. it sounds really memorable!

Duffy makes me think of a particularly unpleasant character from one of my favourite Diana Wynne Jones books. Or being up the duff. It's not exactly pretty is it! I'm not keen on alliteration in names anyway. Francesca is nice though I think Atticus is better than Duffy prefer Rudyard though.

no way - up the duffy?!

ooh i love Dulcie. How about Dulcie Darcy

i like duffy too

I absolutely LOVE it. You must do it. The only thing against, imo, is the association with a current singer. But I would sill go for it.

That would be still go for it

SoupKitten1 is called Atticus.

Duffy is a rubbish name IMO. Great as a nickname but cr*p as a name.

not a pornstar, a cartoon character or someone from lazytown! Probably the stoopid one (Duffy sounds a bit thick).

Darcy is a lovely name though and many names would sound FABULOUS with it.

Don't like Duffy for a first name, sorry - reminds me of the nurse from Casualty in the 80s.

Also, Daphne is better but reminds me of Scooby Doo.

don't usually comment on names as I think everyone should just go with whatever they like. But Duffy??!!!
might have something to do with the fact that in our family if something is 'duff' it means broken or rubbish or wrong. sorry you did ask.
love darcy and I do like Rudyard but as Rudy for short - this was one of my fave names but dh not so sure. Atticus is ok, not mad on it but ok.having said all that - just you go with what you love.

Please please don't. It's absolutely awful. She'll be a laughing stock at school and probably end up in therapy because of it.

D'arcy is such a lovely surname, you could choose practically any other first name and it would go well with it.

I'm so sorry but Duffy Darcy sounds like a horse you bet on for the Grand National. I hate saying negative things about people's name choices and try not to do it as I hated it when people did it to me. Sorry.

Francesca D'Arcy sounds fine.
Daphne D'Arcy sounds fine, I'm not a big fan of having two names together that begin with the same letter, or the name itself, but it sounds surprisingly good together.

Daphne Francesca D'Arcy, leave out the Duffy.

How about Dilys?

We loved this name and it was on our list for a girl.

Dilys Darcy.

I like it.

Call her Duffy D'Arcy by all means, but only as short for something that they can fall back on if they don't like it. ie Daphne.

We have a dd called Liesl for short (slightly foolish name) but called her Elizabeth as her long name. This was just in case when she is prime minister she doesn't have the opposition party singing 'I am sixteen going on seventeen' at her.

Oh, and if your hesband hates it, it will never be a goer. Give it up.

Delilah and Dilys. Sounds great!!!

Please, please please use it.

I have solved your problem for you.

My work is done here.

(please)

Francesca D'Arcy is beautiful, please use it.

Duffy Darcy sounds vaguely insulting, maybe because 'duff' can mean poor quality or because of 'up the duff'

Wow ... some strong opinions .... that's not what I expected but its all valuable!

Watch this space ... when you hear of an amazing medical science breakthru, the first astronaut on Mars or someone breaking the ladies sprint record and you hear ...

Duffy D'Arcy did it!

then you'll remember this thread and think ahaaaa...... what an amazing woman

Fecking awful - poor child! Don't do it she'll hate you forever

ok

will you all be happy if I call her

Daphne Francesca [Duffy] D'Arcy

and we just keep the Duffy bit 'in the famleee'

I know what you mean about the daphne in scooby doo ... but Im chasin the more erudite daphne du maurier ... strong female novelist, etc

Daphne good, Delilah brilliant, love Francesca.

Duffy = Casualty

But...if you have D'arcy, why not D'uffy ? Or stick a 'de la' in there. Duffy Francesca de la D'arcy

LOL

like your style tm7

Duffy D'Arcy. It's awful, sorry.

Francesca D'Arcy, yes.

LOl at pornstar.

A little bit of Hyacinth Bucket perhaps ?

D'Arcy DooFay ?
