Darby on a boy
WDYT? It's growing on me. Spunky boy names are really doin' it for me lately. Darby, Dexter, Bowie, Spero, etc. Do you have any suggestions that might go with those? You don't have to suggest anything; I'm mostly interested in Darby comments.

I don't mind the name Darby at all actually. Tbh I haven't given it much thought before, but now that I stop and think about it, I really like it. That said, I do prefer Darcy, which is nearly the same.

I'm not feeling it. At the moment, it's reminding me of Sons of Anarchy. I love Dexter, though.

Ooh, I like Darby. It's one name that I kinda really like on both gender actually. Definitely spunky.

You know, it reminds me of the movie "Darby O'Gill and the little people"
But I just love it!!

I think coolAlthough I have a pre-association of this as a chihuahua's name (I know of one) so it colours it slightly for me. but I still think it's pretty neat. Not nearly as neat as Bowie or Spero mind you! Darby does come across as rather yuppie-esque and popped-collar, compared to Bowie and Spero, which are edgier and a little more neon offbeat. Darby is much more polite and makes me think of a salmon coloured shirt. I think I get the feeling that you are getting at with this name, though.. A kind of Brit whimsy street-urchin spunk. I like the word Spunkyboy.

lmaothat was actually a typo that I just noticed but I like it too ;DBrit whimsy street-urchin spunk is a good way to describe it! Glad you like Bowie and Spero, too :) I need to get even more into David Bowie than I already am so I can have an excuse to use it.

It was quite popular here in the 18th century, and 'Darby and Joan' used to be a generic name for a nice but dull old couple. But it's so old that it's new, if that makes sense, and it's loads better than Darcy.
