[QUOTE=Captain Lance Murdoch] The overwhelming majority of Drews in the U.S. are males. [/QUOTE] Yes. In fact, Drew Barrymore is the ONLY female Drew I can think of, in my own life or famous people I’ve heard of. ---

[QUOTE=purple haze] Is that a common name in Austrailia for boys (or girls)? The only Darcy I can remember is someone I knew in the 80’s - same as a previous poster. I know here in the USA, the other kids would pick on a boy named Darcy. As I’m not familiar with names in Australia I don’t know if it would be a problem for your son at all. [/QUOTE] It is not a common name here. That is part of the reason I chose it. There are hundreds of cultures in Melbourne. Many kids have traditional names from the parents’ country. So I do not think Darcy will be singled out for having an unusual name. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-named-my-baby-darcy/395866.md?page=2)
