[Opinions] Both are boyish to me. (m)

I can't even comprehend the idea of Jude on a girl (although I have seen it before; I just adore it as a masculine name). I really hope Jude never really goes to the girls. That would depress me.
While I can see Darcy as a girl's name (and can understand why it could be considered feminine), it just screams "Mr. Darcy" to me. I guess it doesn't help that I loved that book, but even before I'd read it, I still associated the name with him.
Anyways, if it really does bother you, then I guess I'd have to say don't do it. But if you still love the names that much, I'd advise you to hold on to them. (And wait and see if the names make serious leaps to the girls' side, particularly Jude. :o))
"How you turned my world, you precious thing.
You starve and near exhaust me.
Everything I've done, I've done for you.
I move the stars for no one."
