Darcy for a boy - yes or no

[Poppyscock]

You decide

Yeh, why not. Maybe she'll have brother called Rosie and a sister called Peter.

sorry he'll...y'see, can't get my head round it

Okay as the official named after Jane Austen mumsnetter I think I have a right to comment here!

Darcy is a surname. Darcy for a girl I think is really quite cute, despite it becoming rather 'popular' lately. My fictional dd3 has Darcy for a middle name.

Darcy for a boy I'm not quite convinced by. If you want a name for Austen conotations you could consider -
Edmund (love it) As the great lady herself has Elinor say @the name Edmund. It is a name of heroism and renown -- of kings, princes, and knights; and seems to breathe the spirit of chivalry and warm affections";

Edward (maybe a bit too 'solid' sounding and it sounds like you want something a bit edgier: I may be making huge assumptions here so apologies if so);
Fitzwilliam - could be Fitz or William as the whole is a bit much imho;
Henry;
George;
Frank!;
Frederick.

id say yes.

wouldn't do it to a poor boy, really. Might as well call him Hilary or Evelyn or Marion or Shirley or any of those names that could be boys' names but are more generally used for girls.

Darcy is traditionally a mans name - particularly in Ireland.

However I called my DD2 Darcy - as you can imagine extended family in Ireland thought I was mad....

My DH hated it for a boy though, although I love it either way

i like it! But then, I know someone with a little boy called Darcy.
he really suits it and I think it's lovely

Emm my mother had a cat called Darcy. It was a he if that helps.

It is a very popular boys name in Canada...

My first ever was called Darcy

Anyways,

He hated it.

I quite like it though.

LOL Deste!!

No. No. NO!!!
