Darcy = Boy or Girl?

When you hear the name Darcy (either spelt Darcy or Darcey) do you think of a boy or a girl?

I think of a boy but i guess it could be either

I think of a girl. If it was for a girl you could specifically girlify it by making it Darcie. for a boy I would stick with the y

I think boy.

Traditionally a boy but more commonly a girls name these days.

It's a lovely name for either gender IMHO :)

DP's best mate is Darcy, so I think boy. But I have seen it used for girls too.

I agree with Ali, I would make it Darcie for a girl.

A girl, until a friend called their little boy Darcy & now I think boy LOL. Like Charlie it's becoming a genderless name & I like it either way.

I kow both boys and girls called Darcy but I prefer it for a boy.

I consider it a boy's name.

I know one of each, so I say genderless!

I know both.

I know someone with a boy named Darcy, but it could be a boy or girls name really.

could be either, but i would rather it as a boys name.

It's a traditional boys name in my family. So I think boy (well actually I think of my Uncle Darcy, lol)

I see it as both. I know both a boy and a girl with it.

I used to see it as a boy but now see it as a girls name. Kind of like Shannon, it used to be a boys name but now you see it more for girls!

Girl :) One of our BB members has a gorgeous little blonde haired girl named Darcy, the name immediately makes me think of her cheeky grin :D

Well because the only Darcy i know is a girl..i think girl..
But i think its great for a boy also!:dance:

Girl ;)
I didn't know any before I had DD. DH suggested it when he heard Chris Bath's (the newsreader) son's name, but I thought it was too 'pretty' , so lucky we had a pink one eh?

eta Thanks Sarah :D

i think both ive known both males and females named Darcy so i cant say either boy or girl

~Kim~ I always think of your little Darcy when I hear the name Darcy, have always thought it was a beautiful name which is why we are stealing it :p funnily enough this DD#2 will most likely be another blondey bluey :D

I think that if we do use Darcy we will spell it Darcy (for a girl) because DF and I think the spelling Darcie looks a bit off..

DF actually did some research on the name and it actually turns out it was originally a females name, and then became popular as a male name, but is now going back to being a female name. But yes, it is very much genderless now :)
Some people tell me its masculine sounding, but I think that it is a very pretty name :)

Yaaay!! Great picking :D

...oh derr I finally figured out who you were....never thought to read the bottom of your ticker :wall:

first thought is BOY

I know a boy and a girl with the name Darcy.
The boy is Darcy but the girl is Darcy-Ann.
I like it for a girl better!

I think it is a wonderful name. Though I do tend to think of a boy when I hear the name!
