Hi everyone
Ever since I found out I was expecting me and OH have LOVED the name Darcey for a girl. However, looking through forums here and on other sites - it seems to have had a massive surge in popularity and now I am not so sure. OH is still keen but I hate the idea of DD being one of several when she gets to nursery/school etc. My current fave alternative is Romilly. My OH has a long French surname - Crouzieres. I think Romilly Rose Crouzieres sounds beautiful but OH is still leaning towards Darcey Elizabeth.
PLEASE HELP! Going round in circles here!!!!

Ally (33 + 5 with yellow bump)

ps - name we have so far for boy is Zachary Andrew. Opinions and/or alternatives appreciated!!!

annoying rise in popularity for me! darcy as in Smashing Pumpkins is a name a would have chosen.
It's been spoiled though - the only girl i know called Darcy is 3 and a proper madam. Hates everybody, proper little spoiled girl. It's awful. I wanted that name, but it's gone now.

sorry for the personal thing

Also love Zachary too (but DH won't have it)

Heya
Yes sorry I did mean that way.
Im on Babycentre with an Oct 09 girl and in that birth club there's about 10 out of 1300 babies - press ;join' on the main page and look at the stats for Oct, Nov, Dec and Jan and it is very common.
