Re: Darla?
Darla is femiinne, but classy? Hardly. It is not considered to be a classy name by most people.I find it middle-aged and trailer-trashy, like a waitress with bleached-blonde hair and too-tight clothes, chain smoking and trying to pick up her diner customers.I've also often had my own name misheard as Darl when I answered the phone at work with "...This is Starla."Darlene is some better, but I'm not fond of it. As far as arl names for girls go, I do like Marlena or Marlene, and Charlene, which is my MIL's name. Also Carla is kind of cute.

Hi, Thanks for the comment. I find it fasinating how names create different images to different people. I have never thought of the name as trashy, as I said. It genuinely makes me think of someone in a higher socitey. My Mum hates this name (as she hates most of the names I like) but I just wondered what people on here thought of it.
