Marcy??????

[April80]

The only girls name that DH and i both like is Marcy, What do you think?
I think I woud prefer Marcia nn Marcy but DH not so keen.
Very much open to other name ideas, we have a DS called Carter and want something not to popular but not too out there for our DD.

I like it, but prefer the spelling Marcie, like the character in the Peanuts cartoons.

Anybody else remember the Brady Bunch? I was massively jealous of Marcia's hair....

Or 'Keith's' slightly flicked and perfect hair in the Partridge Family. Sorry to hijack. Not sure I would go for either Marcia (or Keith) but quite like Marcie.

Peanuts! forgotten about that!
Never seen the brady bunch will look it up.

Dose anyone know any children named Marcy/Marcie?

I like Marcia, NN Marcy. The only one i know is 30!

No, but we know one called Darcy.

Strangely I have no objection when it's spelled Marcie, (although NMS) but when Marcy I imagine the Mammy in Gone With The Wind shouting at the scullery girl.

"Oh Marcy!!!!"

I thought that was Prissy?! The one who "don't know nothing bout birthing babies".

Ahem, another hijack. apologies OP. You don't know The Brady Bunch because you aren't an ancient baggage like me.

Bell- probably was, but I associate the "oh mercy" thing with that era.

I know the BB and the Partridge Family. I used to have a PF magazine with cut out dollies. the height of cool, me.

I'm with you, OP, Marcia nn Marcy is nicer.

i LOVE it! mostly cos i am a huge Peanuts fan though lol

I like Marcy (but spelt Marcie) - definitely more than Marcia.

How about Marnie?

I think of it as an American name - not a bad thing but I hear an American accent when I read it.

yes I love it. And Marnie. And Darcy.

Thank you everyone for your post!
At the moment DD will be named Marcie May!

Oooh! That's lovely

I like Marcie, and Marnie, and Carnie

(and sarnie, but in a different way))

Like it!

I know a boy Marcy short for Marcelleus, so I think of it as a boys name... I like it more for a girl though..

So you want Carter and Marcy?

I like the names but really think they are too similar sounding to go together.

The AR AR sounds together are a bit much.

Watch out for arsie Marcy too.

FanjolinaJolie I had thought of that! I know it will be the first thing my uncle and probably my brother too will say!

Why is finding a girls name so hard?!?!?

It's not really my thing but there's nothing wrong with it. Do think it seems a bit incomplete though so probably would also tend to go for Marcia nicknamed Marcy.

Not sure why Marcy seems like a nickname to me whereas Lucy and Darcy seem complete! Maybe Lucy is too popular for you but I think it's lovely!

My daughter is called Marcy! i still love it (now 7yrs!) i think its cute and her friends like it. Although i must admit i wish id thought of her friends name which is Eden which is cute but never the less its a cute pretty name.
