[Facts] Re: Alternate origin for Darlene
Depends on the pronunciation. US immigration officials were notorious for changing the spelling of a European migrant's name. I can well imagine a Daline being recording as a Darlene.

It doesn't explain earlier records of Darlene in Hungary. Those records indicate they were born and died in Hungary. Or Doroline in the Netherlands and England.
