HelpRe: Darcy...
in reply to a message by Billina
I say, yea.
Darcy was one of my favorites for a long time. But then a friend who liked it even more, used it. So I had to put it in the "don't even think about it" zone. I forgot about it for a while. I guess it's a little dated, but was never popular enough to be severely dated. I think it would sound fashionable now.
And, of course for a girl. I believe as a firstname it was used for girls first, and it's far more familiar as a girl name where I live. (On a guy, to me it seems like an embarrassing reference to a cheesy woman-written soap-opera character ... like Cullen or Gray. Ugh, not sexy. The male equivalent of Lolita. And anyway, it seems super self-consciously genderbending because of the frequency of Darcy on women.)
