Amber, Minnie, or Nancy...?

[starfish12]

I'm 37 weeks and we still cant decide on a girl's name! Our boys names are Sonny or Leo... leaning towards Sonny.

Shortlist for girls is:

Amber
Minnie (short for Yasmin)
Nancy

Which do you prefer?

[TooTryHard]

Nancy.

Yasmin nice too but only with longer version on bc. Don't mind diminutives on the bc but Minnie is just too cutesy as a full name.

[Meringue33]

Like all but Amber is often a hairdresser faux name...

Yasmin is lovely. Nancy is short for Agnes, both are lovely.

[MadeOfStarDust]

as a former dinner lady I'd avoid Minnie - some of the girls used it as a nickname for their private parts.. may make for some sniggering....

[ExcuseTypos]

Love Nancy.

Don't really like Amber- it's a colour.

I wouldn't choose Minnie for the reason as MadeOf.

[RustyBear]

I love Amber, but then I am rather biased (see profile photos!)
I have never known a hairdresser called Amber, let alone a 'faux' one, whatever that means, DD is a (very successful) recruitment consultant!

I like Nancy too, but would prefer Yasmin to Minnie - and you may well find your DD would too as she gets older - one thing you can never control is what teenagers call themselves/their friends!

[Bowlersarm]

Nancy

[MrsBungle]

Amber. I really dislike Minnie and Nancy is not at all my cup of tea.

[commsgirl]

Love Nancy! Amber is also nice. Minnie isn't my cup of tea at all I'm afraid.

[AndWhenYouGetThere]

Nancy for me - I love the sound, the lovely vintage feel, and the reminder of the Oliver musical, in which her namesake is lovely!

Amber is a bit 90's for me, and Minnie is a common term for "girl parts" so I wouldn't choose it.

[Writerwannabe83]

Nancy is lovely, and both your boy's names are fantastic too!

[melliebobs]

I love Nancy but I'm biased. That's my DDs name

[DeeLighted]

Nancy is lovely.

Minnie is slang for vagina round here so would avoid that one!

[EnjoyEverySandwich]

Nancy by a mile

[Leeds2]

Yasmin, but steer well clear of Minnie!

[squoosh]

Amber.

[AKissIsNotAContract]

I like Minnie but wouldn't use it as it's the new version of Fanny.

[LauraChant]

Nancy

[Ifancyashandy]

Nancy.

Minnie is too twee and I think Amber is the 'Tracey' of the future.

[ch1134]

Minnie was my great grandmother and I think it's great

[starfish12]

That's so funny re meaning of Minnie - I've never heard of that before!!

[SoulTrain]

Nancy is my name and it is tremendous, obviously . It seems to be having a renaissance at the moment but not ultra common.

Be warned, you will call her Nancy-Pants. Or Nance.

[hettienne]

Minnie makes me think vagina too unfortunately!

Nancy and Amber are both lovely though.

[RhondaJean]

Amber - was on teen mom, not very pleasant and mentally ill too.

Minnie - is a mouse.

Nancy - was used by David Cameron. Nuff said.

How about Rhonda?

[melliebobs]

soultrain you are dead right!!!! Me and dh have both ended up calling dd nancy-pants before we heard the other one call it her no idea where it came from! But she responds to it. I've heard nursery staff call her that as well. And nancy-noodle which is what my mum first started saying but I've reverted her to pants
