[Opinions] Re: Darcy?
in reply to a message by hannah_1721
It's ok for either, but I prefer it on a girl... maybe because I've known more girls than guys with that name, but I think sound-wise, it suits girls more... Much like Stacey can be used for either, but suits girls better.
Darcy William (too P&P?)- sounds good
Darcy Jacob - not a fan of Jacob
Darcy Charles- I like the names on their own, but not together
Darcy Sebastian- ok
Darcy Nikolai- ok
Darcy Alexis- Alexis on a boy?... not into it... with a unisex first name and female popularity of Alexis, people will see the name and assume girl
Darcy Morgan- so-so... for the most part, to avoid potential bureaucratic confusion double unisex names should be saved for miscarried (or aborted if the situation is coming back to bother them and they need to go through the grieving process as one would for a miscarriage) babies people don't know the gender of so they can give a name to the child they've lost and work through the grief process.
Darcy Julian- Julian's a little too fem to go with this one... I know it's a boys' name, but similarity to girls' name (with the fact some might use the same spelling for a girl and pronounce it Julie-anne) makes it a little too close... though moderately close if it's completely clear may still bee ok for some names.
Darcy Isaiah- I like the names on their own, but not together
Darcy Alexander- so-so
Oliver Darcy- so-so
Dagmar Darcy- no
Benjamin Darcy- ok
Nicholas Darcy- ok
Peter Darcy- meh
James Darcy- no
Ethan Darcy- not a fan of Ethan and it's way overused
Peregrine Darcy- not into it
Maddox Darcy- no
Darcy Delilah- yuck
Darcy Katherine- ok
Darcy Fleur / Fleurentine- Fleurentine's better than Fleur
Darcy Amelia- no
Darcy Clio- no
Darcy Finola- sounds like a breakfast cereal
Darcy Claire- better
Darcy Kendall- also ambiguous since Kendall can go either way
Darcy Elizabeth (way too P&P?)- works
Darcy Linnea- kinda nice actually
Darcy Leigh- if you go this direction, definitely use this spelling for Leigh to make gender clear... could even go with Darci for the other spelling
Madeleine Darcy- flows ok, but Madelyn and it's variations are really overdone lately
Isabel Darcy- tired of Isabel and it doesn't seem to fit
Samara Darcy (sah-MAIR-ah, not sah-MAHR-ah)- I like the names on their own, but not together
Olivia Darcy- not so much... and Olivia's overdone
Jessamine Darcy- not bad
Ava Darcy- so-so
Julia Darcy- nice
