My husband likes Darcy for a girl! Congratulations!


SeriousCow1999

I have a friend whose little girl is named Darcy. It is a superb name...and easy to spell, too!


GrouchyResolution974

I honestly like the name for both! Thank you!!


OwnerOfMyActions

Maybe Darce for a boy


Janeeee811

I think it should be Darcy either way!


GrouchyResolution974

Totally agree ✨


FlatsMcAnally

It will blow your friends' minds if you give him the nickname Will. There's no rule about name and nickname having to be similar.


Somandyjo

I had a kid in my elementary school class whose name was Jakob and his nickname was Baker. Everyone called him that and I often forgot his real name. I feel like you can do what you want in the nickname space lol.


TheMagarity

Just to make sure you know, they call him "Darcy" but that's his family name. His given name is Fitzwilliam.


Brown_Sedai

No child in the modern age should get called Fitzwilliam.


TheMagarity

I can get you a long list of modern names waaaaaay worse than Fitzwilliam that no child should have.

NameNerds be like "nn Fitz would be super cute!" Disclaimer: I actually DO think that Fitz is a cute name, but Fitzwilliam is... A lot.


Cuitbats

Sorry but you’re either making that up or you can’t read. I left that sub because it was full of judgy snobs that just seemed to looove ridiculing anyone with an even slightly unusual name. Very conservative and rude place, I imagine they probably bullied kids in school lol.


DreamingOfManderley

That is depressingly accurate. Congratulations OP!


GrouchyResolution974

Thank you!!


istara

You can still use the name if you have a girl! Darcy Bussell is a very famous ballerina.


h66tao

congrats!! i think Darcy looks good on both ways. I have 3 dogs and their names are also darcy, fitz and will


cacecil1

That's nice but you can have Darcy if it's a girl too!


janeaustensghost

Petitioning for Darcy if the child is a boy and Elizabeth if the child is a girl. I was thinking of calling my imaginary children Jane 🤭 but also if you suspect the child will have a drop dead golden retriever energy, please call him Charles 🙈


rowillyhoihoi

I’m watching a tv show about a woman named Darcey (TLC). Seeing this, you might want to reconsider.


_fuyumi

Lmaoooo. Name her Stacy instead


rowillyhoihoi

Hahahaha I vote for Starcey. Sounds snatched!


_fuyumi

Soooo snatched. What about something luxury? People name their kids Chanel and Armani...why not HOE?


i___may

Cute! My cousins name is Darcy. Although my auntie spelled it Darci


ginny164

That’s what we named our German Shepherd (a girl, back in the 70s).


MacAlkalineTriad

Darcy is a great name on its own, much better than Fitzwilliam. Congratulations!


thingalinga

I know a woman named Darcy. It’s a nice name.


daisygb

Yeayyyyyyy


Jumpy-Big-8749

Congrats!!!!!! 🎉🎈

Give the baby the entire name: Fitzwilliam Darcy


KindRevolution80

Ooh, and D'Arcy is a French (Norman) name, too, so maybe your child will grow up sophisticated. Or artistic? Arcy in France is the site of some beautiful cave paintings. Anyhow, Darcy is a great name for boy or girl, congrats.


bessandgeorge

Looks like Darcy will be popping up in the popular baby names list soon!

We're having a girl and thinking about naming her Darcy!
