Baby Names

WDYT of Darcy?


We have 1 DD named Alexandra Marie, nn Andie which we think is a spunky, different name that fits her very well.  
 
WDYT of Darcy Elizabeth for another DD?
 
I like names that can't be dated so nothing trendy and I even avoid some of the darling old lady names for this reason.
 
Other names we've tossed around:
Lydia
Victoria
Josephine - one of the older lady names I can't resist
Mary

    My best friend's name is Darcy. I love it. Its unique and not common, but not too crazy.

    ETA: I just realized her name is Darcy Elizabeth Smile

    Ha cute.  Thanks for the feedback.

  • I love it.  Hope you're read up on your Jane Austen, since you'll be naming your daughter after her most beloved couple: Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

  • I like Darcy a lot. It would have been on our list, but it doesn't go with our last name at all.

  • I like Josephine, nn Josie. I think it goes nicely with Andie.

    I don't like Darcy, but honestly it's just because I have a negative association.

  • I like Darcy but I'm wondering how it will age.  I think I prefer Victoria and Josephine.  Love your older daughter's nn! Andie is so cute

  • Victoria with the NN Tori would also go well with your DD's name!

    This is exactly what I thought of too. It is by no means a negative association though, so I don't see it as a reason not to use the name. I think Andie and Darcy would make a really cute sibset.

    I agree!

    I was actually just thinking about this name the other day. I think it's a nice name...but it's also the name of an ex bf. Mind you, I was a teen then...but I think if I ever used it, I would get a lot of side eyes from my high school friends. lol (I mean I DID date him 15 years ago...but still).

  • Not a fan of Darcy at all... seems dated to me actually and definitely too cutesy

    names that come to mind in that area def. Lydia like you suggested-love!, Daphne, Claudia, Emmeline, Sadie, Colette, Natalie

  • I don't like Darcy at all. Sounds.... ugly to me. Not sure why, but it does. Love Josephine, though.

  • I really like it! I have considered putting it on our list, but it is pretty long already, so I resisted. I think it strikes the right balance between unique and "not weird."

  • I like Darcy, and especially the combo Darcy Elizabeth...I'm a big Austen/P&P fan, if you couldn't tell by my screenname.

  • I like Darcy, but not paired with Elizabeth.

    One of the most famous literary couples of all time are Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth.  As a big Jane Austen fan, to me it sounds like you are intentionally naming your child after them (like Romeo & Juliet in one name).

  • I love love love it!!!!

    I'll never use it bc we have a popular restaurant by that name near us so DH would never go for it.

    Darcy was a great character.

    Love Elizabeth too.

  • I have a friend named Elizabeth Darcy, but she goes by Darcy. :)
  • It's my name but I spell it Darcie. My middle name is Catherine. I love my name and feel like it has aged well with me too.
