I was into the name
Darla for a while because my
Nana used to have us watch the old little rascals / Our
Gang shorts she saw as a kid. There was a
Darla who was the "main girl" for a time.
Darla Hood. I also knew a woman several years ago online that had a daughter named
Darla because she and her husband couldn't agree on anything else and named her after a great grandmother. I also used to athletically compete against a
Darla as a teenager from a rival School who was really sweet & outgoing. I have a generally positive view of the name. Aside from the finding
Nemo reference which was a staple of my age groups childhood for many. It feels a bit old fashioned but cute in it's own way. I could see it coming back eventually. I'm imaging future female twins
Darla &
Doris now.
I dislike
Darlene as it feels too middle aged instead of vintage.
