I honestly thought that it was a girl name at first; I'm sorry! I like the sound of Daris, but Doris is a favorite girl name of mine, so I prefer it to Daris.

It doesn't seem modern to me. Nothing about it seems to fit the current fashions.
As a guy name it reminds me mostly of Darren, Darrell / Daryl, and Harris and Morris. Not Darius.
But it's not surnamey, and seems more like a gal name.
I would like it alright as a gal name. Even though it doesn't seem modern, it does seem unexpected yet "easy," and that is nice.
Except for Francis, I find -is names seem to suit women better in general. I like Hollis more as a gal name, too.

I think it would make a very cool variation of Darius, but I also really like it just as it is.

I like it. It does feel very "now". The meaning is lovely.

Too close to old fashioned Doris

It reminds me of Doris, which makes it seem old-fashioned.
