HelpDarla
For years and years I hated this name; it sounded too precious, too dated, too made-up... but for some reason I'm beginning to love it.
Is it in that category of so-precious-they-almost-work names, like Lola, Lulu, Zuzu, Fritzi etc.? Or should Darla just stay playing canasta with Verla, Marla and Darlene?

Me too. But I think that's why I like it. She was so adorable & sweet in the movie (90's movie; never saw the original show). But the name itself isn't cutesy cutesy to me, like Lulu, etc.
I think it could definitely work today. It was never really popular so I don't see it as dated like Velma & such. Plus even though D-names aren't that popular right now, -la names are. (Kayla, Jayla, Isabella)

Oh, I love Darla! It's always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't think I would ever have the guts to use it in real life but I think it's precious. And even though it IS of course way out of style it doesn't sound "elderly" in my eyes. I think it's more in line with Lola, Lulu, etc...than the others.

She is playing canasta with Verla, Marla, Darlene and the rest of the crew.

I think it could work, actually.
It brings to mind the character from Angel but other than that...yah. It's cute.

I think it's very dated.

Darla doesn't sound precious at all, but it is dated. I don't like it that much.
