I thought P&P was meant to be more of a satire - people idolize Darcy, but that's why it's funny (although he was shown to be self-sacrificing and responsible in contrast to Wickham, while Edward contrasted with Jacob is just, idk, more suicidal and older). I didn't have that impression from Twilight...I did get a "he's so annoying, but wow, he has a nice house and a sweet sister! I must be in love (and the only option now is to get married or my life will be empty/over)!!" vibe from both lol.

Maybe that's why Darcy as a name sounds farcical to me for either gender (somewhat like Gallant "Gal" would, while being mainstream).
