Comments for the name Daryl

Actress Daryl Hannah is a famous bearer. She spells it this way, not with two R's.

I heard, about 20 to 50 years ago, that "Daryl" was from a French orgin and that this is the female spelling.

Despite being the name of the actress Daryl Hannah, who can hardly be described as androgynous, let alone masculine, the name definitely sounds masculine to me. It's like Darrell rather than feminine names ending in -yl like Sheryl and Meryl. I wouldn't use this for a girl. It sounds quite harsh on females, and a bit harsh on males as well.
