That's funny. All the Darcys/Darcis I have known were women. "An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way." -Charles Bukowski

Not in Australia. I know about 5 boy Darcy's and 1 girl Darcy. It's in the top 100 for boys in Australia.
Australia seems to use names for their original gender a bit more than America. Riley and Ashley are also very popular names on boys here, as is Taylor and even Mackenzie and Emerson used commonly on boys.http://www.behindthename.com/name/darcy

It's definitely flipped over here; I have never met a male Riley, Ashley, or Mackenzie. I knew a couple of male Taylors growing up, but that quickly went female. I have never met an Emerson, male OR female, but I have seen it BA's.IDK, I'm kind of surprised some people think Darcy is strictly masculine when it's only one letter away from Marcy. It sounds more feminine than Riley or Mackenzie to me, but po-TAY-toe, po-TAH-toe. :P
