Darcy

Darcy is my favorite name, it's so dreamy and cute!

Better for a dog.

It stinks and is very girly and no parent should ever use it!

Sorry but this name is ugly lol. No one should use this name.

I like it for males only.

It sounds like a girl's name.

I named my son Darcy. Historically it IS a man’s name. Cute for a girl but strong for a boy. And while I considered the spelling D’Arcy my first child has a hyphen and that proved to be a pain in the butt. Do your kids a favour and give them simple names that are easy to spell and pronounce. Doing yourself a favour too every time you have to give his name lol
Gorgeous name. Unique but not dumb or weird.

It’s a great name and you’re all flogs if you think otherwise.

Call me weird but I prefer the spelling D'Arcy, like the surname. D'Arcy seems more like it to me. Darcy is fine, though.

I see the name as totally androgynous. I think it could work for anyone! It’s a very nice name! I love the name Darcy; it’s unique but not out there.

I've only known it on a girl (so far!) but I can easily see it on a boy too. It's a great unisex name, although I personally see it with more upper-class connotations.

I don’t like it on a boy. The name Darcy on a girl is cute and unusual while being unique.

My name is Darcy, I’m a girl and I love it, even though it has become more popular most people I meet still think it is unusual and unique. If anyone comments about famous people with the name they usually refer to Darcey Bussell the ballerina and Mr Darcy (this didn’t make me think the name is too masculine as it is a surname). I like how the name can be seen as gender neutral especially when applying for jobs etc.

Really boring and ugly for a girl in my opinion. I prefer it on a boy.

Cute.

If I had a son he would probably be called this.

I know a Darcy - it's a great name! But not as upper class as Oliver.

This is only a girl name.

Sounds slightly snobby to me and it reminds me of that terrible show Winx Club.

I've only ever known Boy Darcy's but I like it as a girl's name.

I am a boy and my name is Darcy. Trust me, one way to make a boy get annoyed at his parents a lot is to name him Darcy as I found that when ever I met a new person the first question they would ask me would be "Isn't Darcy a girl's name?" this has happened so much to the point that multiple times I have thought of just introducing myself as John (my middle name).

I absolutely love this name for a boy. It's masculine, but also romantic.

I like this name a lot.

I think it would be cute for either a boy or a girl.

Hello, I am female and my name is Darsy. I often get that my name is beautiful and rare. I cannot help myself see Darcy for a boy's name but I guess is one of those names like Ariel. Huh.

I like it spelled D a r c i! ☺.

DARCY is a little bit harsh and quite common, I think DERYA is unique, beautiful and has better meaning, it means sea, ocean in turkish.

I have a beautiful little boy called Darcy. I think it's a wonderful name for a boy.

I really like Darcy for a girl. I was extremely surprised to see it is no longer in the top 1000 in the US.

I love this name. It is so cute! I think it's an upper class old fashioned name and would be good with the name Ebony or Lydia.
Darcy Ebony
Darcy Lydia

It's definitely a boys name. Pretty sure the Irish translation is "Dark Haired Man" and I don't think there is a true female version of that translation.

I can see why it gets used as a girls name as there is a ballerina with a mis-spelt version (DARCEY), but say the name a few times to yourself and for me it sounds a bit harsh and abrupt for a girls name. I do really like it as a elegant \ debonair boys name though.

I could see the name Darcy being used for girl or boy. I personally would use it as boy name since it is more commonly associated with Mr. Darcy and because I would find the name to be somewhat plain and tomboyish for a girl.

On a boy, it reminds me of a handsome blond yuppie. I don't think that Darcy suits a girl, but its variant Darcie is actually nice for a cheery girl.

Because the Irish origin of the name is masculine, and "town of bears" doesn't seem very feminine to me, and because of Mister Darcy, I can only think of this as a masculine name. And I only ever see it used for boys too.

It's cool for either gender. (:

I simply must use this as a son's middle name because of my Mr. Darcy obsession :)

Darcy makes me think of the weird girl no one talks to that always has her headphones on.
I prefer it as a feminine name, because it has the diminutive Y sound, in addition to the softly sensual soft C sound.
I knew a girl named Darcy, and she was charming. I love DAR- names. The sound has a certain appeal to me.

Ew. No offense, but this name sounds REALLY manly. Sorry, but it's too manly, and can you imagine growing up with this name? "What's your name?" "Darcy" "Darcy? Like off pride and pre- What like a boy?"

My mother's maiden name was D'Arcy, and as she has several brothers, it made sense for me to be Darcy as all of my cousins would carry the name as their last. I know we came over from Ireland quite a while back, but as my current last name is Brown, which is nearly as generic as you can get, it is nice to have a piece of my family history in my name and belong to the larger group through it. I really like the name, and thank god it overcame my mother's ideas of my becoming Molly Brown.

As a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice, I can’t help but love this name. As a surname though, because I think it looks stupid as a first name. And despite Mr. Darcy, I think Darcy as a first name is quite feminine, probably because I’ve only ever heard it used on girls. But I think I could grow used to it as a boy’s name quite easily.

I have a friend whose middle name is d'Arcy, but I always think of this as a more masculine name because of Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.

I can see this name working for either an independent, strong girl or an athletic and loyal boy.

Darcy is one of my favorite boy names. It sounds so masculine and smooth, like the incredible Mr. Darcy. I would love to have a little son named Darcy. I think this is quite ugly on girls, sounds so manly.

This name sounds feminine to me. It makes me think of the member of the band the Smashing Pumpkins, D'Arcy. I didn't care much for the band back in the day, but I thought she looked way cool. While Darby sounds like an ugly masculine name to me, Darcy could be a great name for the right type of girl. Of course, it's difficult to tell these things beforehand. And both syllables sound quite feminine to me. ''Dar'' with the pronunciation ''DAHR'' (as opposed to ''DER'') comes in names like Darla and Daria, and -cy is present in Nancy, Stacy, Tracy, Lacy, and the likes, which sound very feminine despite some of them having been used for males. The only blatantly masculine -cy name I can think of is Quincy. Darcy isn't one of my favorite names, but it's okay for girls.

I don't understand how Darcy being a surname of a male character in a novel means it is masculine. I have a male friend whose last name is Miranda: Does that mean Miranda is a masculine name as well? I can only see Darcy on a girl.

I like the name Darcy, on a boy or a girl! I personally like it more on a boy. Perhaps that's because my first boyfriend was named Darson, and I called him Darsy/Darcy as a nickname. ;) On a girl, I find it a spunky and sort of "punk" kind of name. It's cute and it's pretty and feminine too. It's nice on a girl too, but I just prefer it on a boy. ;)

I'm a girl and my name is Darcie, I love the name and it seems to suit me pretty well, but I wouldn't suggest giving this name to a child you're hoping to be on the varsity cheer team some day, in addition to the fact that it means "dark" or "of the dark" it just kind of clashes with that personality.

Other than my little cousin, I think it's much better for a boy, but even then I don't really like.

I think Darcy is a good name for a boy, and for a girl. I myself like it better on a guy.

I LOVE Darcy, especially for a little boy! When I tell people I want to name one of my little sons this (which I will for sure) I get this answer: "Oh, like Darcy from Pride and Prejudice!" Oh, yes! It's adorably sweet for a little boy and I can see him grow up with it as well. In Australia, it's popular, so it might be getting popular in English-speaking countries. Popular or not, if you love a name, you go with it anyway! Like I will go with Darcy for my little son. I like it a lot for a little girl as well, but see it more on a little boy.

I love this name especially for a little boy. It's so cute!

I like the name Darcy both for a girl or a boy both, preferable for a girl.

I'm tempted to - if ever I have children - name my kids Fitzwilliam, or just William, and Darcy (f). Mr. Darcy is sooo dreamy.

I hated the name Darcy before I read and watched 'Pride and Prejudice'. Now I think it's very nice. (Darsen sounds better then Darcy, though.)

I like it, it's always seemed like a guy's name because of Mr. Darcy.

Looking at my 10 month old son you would never think that Darcy is anything but masculine!

I think Darcy is a cute girl name. It's quite punk rock really, but I can also see someone naming their cow that for some reason.

Darcy is a horrible name for a boy. It doesn't seem at all masculine to me. I'd hate to be a boy named Darcy. Darci, Darcie and Darcey are good spellings.

I think Darcy is an ugly masculine name, but a great feminine one.
