I love it as a girl's name but I would probably add an 'e' on the end to remove any doubt.

I think it sounds feminine as well and wondered what everyone else thinks. Good idea about spelling it Darnelle. I like that. I also like the name Nell which I never thought about but that's probably because I'm not one for nn's. :)

Looks like we're in the minority, judging by the vote.

This one doesn't sound feminine at all to me, but that may have to do with the very large man named Darnell I knew. He had a slow, southern drawl, so his name came out more like Dar-nayil (no idea how to type that pronunciation, but I'm guessing someone southern could help LOL).

I get the whole "ends in -ell, sounds like a girl name" thing, but to be honest, even with the Darnelle spelling, I just see Darn, Elle. So not my favorite. ;)

Feminine, huh? I see large 40-something Black man...

I know a Darcel who goes by Darcy, and a Darcelle, who is an old drag queen. Both of these seem more feminine to me.
