Darby for a boy?
| Tue, 10-26-2004 - 2:33pm |
We are having a baby in January and are thinking about the name Darby for a boy. What does everyone think? Does this name seem too feminine for a boy? I would love to hear from everyone.....Thanks!

But I actually think it's ok for a boy, I know a little boy named Darcy.

When I first saw your post, I thought, "God Bless You!" because I've always loved Darby for a boy, and would love to see it used, but would be too chicken to use it, since, as the others said, it's almost always used for girls now. It was used a lot in English lit (I wonder if it's still used for boys in the UK?), so that's what I think of...a 19th century gentleman. I have met one little Darby, a girl, but will still think of it as a boy name. If I ever come across a boy Darby, I will applaud his mother!
So, I'm torn. I love it, but
