Darcy

What do you all think of this name, and for a boy or girl?
I have only ever known boys named Darcy.

I always thought it was a name for girls...an ugly name for girls

Darcy is most definitely a boys name. I dont like it.

It's all girl to me. I like it.

not fond of it for either sex. i would choose a girl for that name, though. i've heard of a tv character by that name and she was female.

Girl name. But only white trash girls from Iowa are named Darcy.

As an Iowan, I've got to say I've never known anyone named Darcy. ;]

boys name
and i hate it lol

Well, regardless of the Mr Darcy connection I think it's quite feminine.
Darcy Bussell is one of the most famous English Ballerina's and I always think of her.

For some reason Colin Firth immediately pops into my mind...now that's interesting.
Obviously I think it's a boy's name. I don't really like it.

I quite like it for either sex.

I have a niece named Darcy. I think it's cute.

Male. Quite like it.

I've only known girls with that name.

Growing up I read a book where the girl was called Darcy, so when I found out it was actually a boys name I was shocked! It still sounds girly to me.

I think Owen is nice and Darcy is ugly. To each his own. :P

The world is a cruel place. :P

It's true, though, if there's a 'pretty' boy's name, it often gets turned into a girl's name. Ashley and Leslie are good examples (although I hate Leslie).

i love Owen!

Well, D'arcy Wretzky rocked the name in the Pumpkins....but other than that it's not so great.

However, I do like Darcy alot more than DARBY. Ugh...

[identity profile] mystickiwi.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
the only reason i like the name is because of D'arcy.

it makes me sad that her and james didn't come back for the new album...

girl...i know two darcys with the same last name also! it's bizarre. they're known as "darcy" and "little darcy".

That's my mom's name.

[identity profile] sandtree.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I knew girl Darcys and boy Darcys growing up... I never liked the name on either gender.

[identity profile] o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd only use it for a girl

It's ok...and for girls only IMO.

[identity profile] tokossel.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
only for a girl! i know a baby named darcy and it really suits her.

[identity profile] raptorgirl.livejournal.com 2007-09-24 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I've only seen it as a girl's name. I think it works better as a name for a fictional character than a real person.

[identity profile] corielcries.livejournal.com 2007-09-24 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I can see it on both but prefer it on boys.

[identity profile] waitingonsunday.livejournal.com 2007-09-24 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Initially it brings to mind Mr. Darcy. I think Darcy is ugly on a girl, too feminine for a boy.
