Darcy (boy only - very common on boys in the UK, but on girls in the USA - weird )
I had no idea that Darcy was used so commonly for a boys' name Maybe it's because of the (female, obviously) character of the same name in my favorite TV show, but I never would have even thought of a boy having that name. Guess you learn something new every day!

OMG! I LOVE JODI PICOULT! I've read My Sister's Keeper, Keeping Faith and The Pact, but I own Song of the Humpback Whale, The Tenth Circle, The Vanishing Act and Nineteen Minutes too. I LOVE her! She's like the model for all my writing!!!
