What do you think of the boys name [name_m]Darius[/name_m] and what do you think of the nickname [name_m]Darry[/name_m]?
I have never met anyone named this! However I have only heard this name from the 2001 film Jeepers creepers and he (The character) never went by [name_m]Darius[/name_m] only [name_m]Darry[/name_m].
Depends on the pronunciation I think. I know a [name_m]Darius[/name_m] and for him the “Dar” rhymes with car. Its the only pronunciation I’ve come across, but I’m from NZ so might be different where you are.
I would assume perhaps you’re pronouncing it differently than I am, because I would pronounce [name_m]Darry[/name_m] like carry, so would assume you were pronouncing it [name_m]Darry[/name_m]-uss. If that’s the case, I think [name_m]Darry[/name_m] would work as a nickname, but I would find it weird having [name_m]Darry[/name_m] as a nickname with the pronounciation I’m familiar with, I would think the nickname would be [name_f]Dari[/name_f] (rhymes with indian [name_f]Sari[/name_f]) instead.
I like [name_m]Darius[/name_m]–it sounds strong and capable. I probably wouldn’t use a nn, but [name_m]Darry[/name_m] is fine.
