Darci is my most favorite, but I'm biased because it's MY NAME!!! LOLOL

But--I'm 28 and I've only heard it two to three times on other people IN MY LIFE, and I've lived in five different states!! And, they always spell it Darcy or Darcie. Whereas I spell mine just like you have it, Darci. By the way, D'arcy is the way it's usually spelled for a last name. Sorta like Louis vs. Lewis.

Most of the others are names I've heard time and time again. Especially Kennedy, McKenzie, Ally, Carly, and Sydney. Yes, they're very nice names. No, you won't like it when half the kindergarten class also has that name. I teach school and have 3 kids, so I know a lot of kids/teens. I'm a fan of more unique names. My son's name is Ryan, and though I LOVE it, I hear it constantly. Can you imagine him trying to follow directions on the soccer field when 3 other coaches in a 50 ft radius are also calling out to their "Ryan"? Not to mention when there's a Ryan on the opposing team, too! HAHA Ugh, and one of my daughters' names is Korey--so of course she's often sharing her name with 1 or 2 boys in her class! Poor thing (silly husband)!!

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I'm 4 mos along, and if it's a girl, I'm naming her Ava!

My favorite on your list is Ally. I just like the name the best. I like the fact that you were thinking of your husband and it sounds nice. If you were going to just make it Ally, I think that that is nice or if you wanted a full name you could choose Allison or Alyssa or Alice. just some suggestions.

Hi...my name is Alyssa....Ally is quite fine, or Allie if you prefer the diff't spelling. The only ones I am kind of totally against are Rowan, Darci, Graceyn, Hadliegh, Kamdyn and Keely. I don't really know quite why, but they're just too far out there I guess. I think Makenzi and Tori are the prettiest.

Here's a few variations:
We named our daughter: Alynna Grace(pronounced Uh-Lynn-Uh) we have shortened it to 'Lynna as a nickname, as we know too many Allys already. We saw it spelled Allena, Allina, Alenna, Alinna, and Allynna. My niece's name is Gracyn Elizabeth, and my cousins have names Drew Nicole, Jenna Leigh, and Lauren Elizabeth. I always liked the names Delaney and Emilee, but dh did not. I have seen Keely spelled Keeley, and Hadleigh spelled Hadley. For boys in our family there is Garrett Elliott, Windsor Ryan, Rydale Lane, Sean ?, and Jastin Dale(Jason with a T) I hope this helps in your search for the best nam for your sweet baby.

My fave from your list is Darci, but spelled with a "Y" (Darcy) cuz I think that the cutesy spellings are ok for a little girl but not so for an adult, older woman. Next I like Gabriella and maybe Tori (this is ok with an "i"), Alexa and Keely.

Ally (DH name is Allen) - different spelling?- cute as a nn, but I don't care for it as a first name.
Alexa- Pretty, I like this one, I'm just not sure it goes with your other DDs.
Carly-I don't care for this name at all. Too cheerleader-y.
Darci-A little too old fashioned for me.
Graceyn-Don't like this at all. I really only like it as the boy's name Grayson.
Gabriella- Very, very pretty, I like it a lot.
Hadliegh- This name would be my favorite if it was spelled Hadleigh or Hadley
Kamdyn-I really don't like this name, and especially don't like the K in place of C and the Y in place of an E.
Kennedy-Like this one a lot, and I think it would go great with your other DDs.
Keely-Sounds okay with your DDs names, but I dont care for it.
Kenzie-Don't like this at all.
Makenzi-Ditto. I really don't like the kre8tiv spelling. If anything, Mackenzie.
McKinzy-NO!
McKinley-Is okay, but sounds more like a boy's name.
Rowan-I like this one a lot. And it sounds great with the other girls.
Sydney-Very pretty, probably my favorite of the list.
Tori-don't like this, all I can think about is Tori Spelling.
Whitney-Its a pretty name, probably in my top 5 from this list.

Top 3 from this list:
Sydney
Hadley/Hadleigh
Kennedy

Bottom 3 from this list:
Makenzi
McKinzy
Kamdyn
