I am so in love with the name Darcy and all the imagery it evokes. It’s a gender neutral name that feels dashing and handsome on a boy, though I am partial to hearing it on a little girl. Darcy gives quiet and shy energy – a girl who loves to curl up with her books while the rest of the world slips away. She’s pensive and imaginative; sweet and bookish. Of course, all of this is thanks to our love of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Mr. Darcy himself.
If you are drawn to Darcy and would love more names that feel kindred to her soul, here are 50 name alternatives to consider.
