Love it. Makes me think of white linen and layers of tissue paper and freshness.

my neice is Darcy. Very pretty and not too common. She is in her twenties and no one has ever tried to shorten or extend it which is a bonus too

SoupDragon · 27/02/2009 09:12

It'll always mean Arsey to me.

MarchNowFebMum · 27/02/2009 09:27

sorry to be the naysayer but i don't like it. i know it's a girls name but i always think it is a bit mann-ish and not in a good way. i also think it's a bit common (and i don't mean popular). slinking away now....
