Darcy or Lexi

[buzzzybee]

what u think pls? x

I like Lexi but only as a nickname for Alexandria. Think Alexia, Alexa, Alexis, Alexandra are quite overused and Alexandria makes a nice change as it is similar but less popular.

Oh yes I used to know a Lexine. Lovely name.

actually just realised you want to use Alexandria...it is a gorgeous name, but is it a name coming into fashion? Because a friend just had an Alxandria....

i like em both as i know 2 kids called lexi/darcy

and i dont think they sound chavvy

I have an Alexandra known as Lexie

Lexie is a name in its own right, it is Scottsh meaning 'sparkling' which I think is lovely

idiots can make a cruel nickname from ANY name so don't be put off - if you like it use it

and the word chavvy frankly is crass and rude, if people don't like names they should at least have the good grace to say something like 'its not to my taste' but then I'm fed up saying that on here - apparently its no holds barred re manners on baby names thread

Darcy and Lexie both pretty imo

oh and if its good enough for David Bowie and Iman then its good enough for me

Are they for a boy or a girl?

I can't hear Darcy without adding "Arsey" to it. Hate the name.

I thought Lexie meant 'defender or helper of mankind'? Is it a name in it's own right? Oh well, you live and you learn.

as a shortening of Alexandra it does but there is a scots name Lexine or Lexie meaning sparkling too

Just looked for that meaning using google and couldn't - genuinely interested, as a Scot I've never heard it being used on it's own, or meaning sparkling! You may be interested to know that according to the Scotsman newspaper, Riley, Lexi, Kayden and Nieve are the among the most popular heading up the charts in Scotland.

I can't find it either now paolosgirl BUT when I named my Lexie 3yrs ago I did - I remember as it was how I convinced DH to use it - she's more like a defender of mankind though

delighted to hear that it is becoming so popular, esp when ranked right up there with Kayden and wrongly spelt Niamh

just goes to show you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. DD1 has a name that everyone states is far too common although we don't know another. DD2 is now apparently becoming more popular and DD3 has a name thats more commonly used for a boy - just as well DH and I love them and don't really care

I cannot find it for love nor money now and am pretty sure I didn't make it up to suit as I showed it to DH!

anyway, regardless of the meaning I love it, it suits DD2 and she not only sparkles but defends her sisters too

I'm a firm believer in a)not looking at lists and b)not listening to anyone else when you're choosing your child's name. You're right - you're damned either way, aren't you!

A sparkly defender of mankind - what a fab meaning!

I love Lexie, and its on my shortlist, well pretty much all the time!

imagine seeing you here Scorpio

lockets - we'll be laughing when they're ruling the world!

I really like Lexine...very nice. Dizzy is Lexie too much with my surname?

absolutely not because of the Os in your surname balancing it out

They're not my personal cup of tea but I think they're both ok. If choosing Lexi I'd want to call her Alexandra so that she could have a choice later on, also think it's nice to have a formal name that can be reduced to a NN but I know lots of people disagree with me!

I love both names. I can imagine little girls with gorgeous blonde hair, with a few curls and pretty little dresses on. Ridiculous, I know, but I just think both names are sooo pretty.

My name, incidentally, means heavenly and my middle name means vision of beauty. Oh well, if the cap fits!!
