Some of these are really nice! Others... Not so much.
I really like Daniel John, Daniel Lewis is cute too but isn't there an actor named Daniel Day Lewis? Living in the US, for some reason Dara comes off as feminine to me... But I like James. I can't stand 'Declan' though, I'm glad it's not popular where I live. Dominic is good, Murray is ok. I wonder if it was his mom's maiden name? Douglas Angus sounds really weird together... But I'm glad to see the name Douglas is still in use. I'm not a big fan of Dylan, its way too trendy for me. For they girls, Daisy seems to be pretty popular over the pond. I think it's funny how they chose Daisy Margaret, since Daisy can be a nickname for Margaret. I would've preferred Margaret Daisy Jacqueline or Margaret Jacqueline Daisy though. And what the heck is Darcii? I can't believe people purposely misspell their children's names like that.

Darcii Ella - I've seen a lot of these girls' names ending in -ii in the UK (and Australia) lately, but you never see them in North America. What's the deal with them? (A girl I knew from Australia said that spellings like Darcii and Dannii are trashy.) On top of that, the extra I looks superfluous - Darci is a perfectly fine spelling. (Darci is used occasionally for girls in Brazil. As you might have guessed, it's an English import - we use Darcy for boys too. But I like it. I have a cousin named Darci.)
