Comments for the name Darien

I know a girl who spells it Darrien and pronounces it Dare-ee-en.

My 10 year old son is called Darien. I heard the name on an early 90's space age programme called Time Trax and fell in love with it, most people think it should be Darren. He gets called Daz now for short which is a shame, I think it's cool!

Darien is also a province of Panama.

Darien Sheilds AKA Tuxedo Mask is in the English verison of Sailor Moon.

I know a girl who spells in Darienne, but it's pronounced Dar-ee-en.

I really like the sound of this name, I don't mind it for boy or girl but personally I lean towards boy for this name.

I was an avid Sailor Moon fan when I was little, so of course I first think of Tuxedo Mask and Serena screaming his name, but I still love it. Most likely because of the Tuxedo-influence, I get a sense of mystery and a protector with the name, almost Batman-like: A hero in the dark.

I have used this name before, and I think it's a wonderful name, though I do think it is more of a boy's name than a girl's name. I'm not totally against a girl being called Darien, but unless there's a change of spelling (Darienne), I think it's more appropriate for a boy. But that could be the Sailor Moon fan in me talking!

I so totally think of Tuxedo Mask. I like this name. It sounds strong, and nice.

I've loved this name since I first heard it on Sailor Moon ;)

There is a lake called Darien Lake in New York, USA.

It will always remind me of Tuxedo Mask. But I do like this name! It sounds nice for a boy, but OK for a girl.

Darien is the BOY version and Darienne/Darrienne is the GIRL version (just like Erin and Aaron).

Pronounced "dah-ree-en".

I prefer this name spelled "Derian".
