    Honest opinions please

    HI everyone,
    I am after honest opinions on these 2 names for a girl please.
    "Kita Jade'
    'Darcy Jade'

    We love these 2 names for our lil girl but a 'friend' today upset me a lil saying that I shouldnt even consider 'Darcy' as she has only ever heard of it for a boy.
    I know traditionally she is right but times have changed.

    So please be brutally honest ladies.
    TIA Eryn

    I think Darcy can go either way. It's better than Kita, I'd only like that name if it was a nickname for something (not 'Nikita' because that really is a boy's name).

    I've said before I'm not a fan of Jade. It used to be used as an insult against women. What about Jane or June instead?

    not too sure about kita...but love Darcy. and have met a little girl with that name. originally it was a last name, anyways, so if you like it go for it! (my opinion only...) how about spelling it D'arcy ? that's how the french last name is written.

    I love Darcy Jade. I think of Dary as a girls name not a boys one.

    No matter what names you discuss with family and friends you will get negative comments from someone. I remember it well. We weren't even going to discuss names but people kept asking. As soon as we'd say a girls name someone would say "I don't like it" or "I knew someone with that name at school and she was a b" etc etc. We chose Brock's name early on and we had someone say "I don't like it, Peter Brock was such a womaniser" and someone else said they just didn't like it, another said it was too bogan. We went with what we agreed upon and everone got used to it before he was even born.

    I don't think Darcy is wierd for a girl at all. Personally it is not my favourite, and neither is Kita, but remember it is your choice. Screw what your friend thinks. If you love it, then it is perfect.

    I love Darcy. I have only ever heard it being used for a boy though but hey! My name is Dayl (pronounced Dale) so would would I care!

    No matter what name you choose, someone is going to hate it so as long as you and your partnet like it, go for it!!!

    Darcey Bussell is a famous prima ballerina (English I think, now retired). I think it's a fabulous name for a girl - while I suppose it is originally a male name, it's one of those names that has become unisex like Shannon, Ashley, Leslie, Lindsay etc.

    Not a fan of Kita though sorry.

    Hi,

    Well my honest opinion is that I'm not the hugest fan of Darcy but simple because I'm a fan of girly pretty delicate names iykwim and I don't mean this isn't a beautiful name just not my personal favourite. However I think it's a great name and seeing as you r obviously a big fan of the name I think go ahead and use it!!!

    TBH, I know it is a unisex name but I think of it as a girls name first, I think lately it is much for common for a girl than boy. I think as long as you're not picking a name that is so for the other sex your child is going to get teased and bullied well who cares? Names change all the time like the name Kelly and Kim were boys names and now they're girls!

    As someone else mentioned there is Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon and I think both names are far more boyish than Darcy and yet aren't they both beautiful women who suit their names to the t!!

    Go for it! No one else helped make you baby so they can but out in the name picking stakes! I think it's horribly rude to make such comments when someone says these are the names we are thinking of!!
