Comments for the name Darlene

"Darlene" was featured on a hit TV show, Roseanne. It was the name of the main character's second child, youngest daughter. she was portrayed as rude, brash, cold, and very intelligent with a smart mouth and was often the cause of humourous snide remarks.

"Darlene" is a song by Led Zeppelin.

I think this is a sweet name.

I'm sorry, but YUCK!

No offence if your name is Darlene, but EEEEWWWWW (sorry Darlenes).

Darlene Zschech is a Christian music artist (Hillsongs).

Darlene is such a stupid name! ewwwww!

Come on people, Darlene is not such a bad name.

I argee with CharlieRob on this one, I think Darlene is a nice name. When I first heard it on Roseanne I loved it. (I could always relate her and she was my favorite)

The fact that this name is clearly derived from the word 'darling' makes it sound even tackier and ditzier than all the other names ending in -lene. They all sound like the names of rather dim-witted country girls and women who dedicate their time to watching crappy TV shows when not cooking for the husband and pestering their kids about the importance of abstinence before marriage.

I don't think "Darlene" is such a bad name either. I've only heard it on "Roseanne" though.

Ewwww, Darlene! No offense but this name is def not my fave!

It looks too much like "darling", and I don't think "darling" sounds very good in a name. Besides, Darlene sounds so Fifties.

My mom's name is Loretta. She hates Loretta. Personally, I agree it's dated (some one mentioned it sounded 1950s, which is when she was born; plus, the same thing was said about Loretta). I think this is funny, since I would say my name (Tory for Victoria) is so eighties.

I like this name, I don't hear this name very often and when I do they're older women, like my future mother in law. :)

Sounds like a frumpy middle-aged lady who wears trousers with an elastic waistband.

Darlene reminds me of the spunky, rude, smart-mouthed genius that was Sarah Gilbert on Roseanne.
A personal favorite of mine. I suppose it is supposed to be extremely feminine (with the whole Darling thing) but I think of it as a tomboy-y name. Kind of dark, kind of weird, but kind of fun.

"Darlene" is a song by The Lumineers, but they pronounce it "darlin'"
