hello
I have a three year old DD Nancy and am looking for girl / boy names to go with it - grateful for any all suggestions - it seems hard to match - and I didn't think about matching when i chose her name!
Thank you!

I have a Nancy and a Betty - their names make me happy whenever I say them! But it's always bothered me a bit that they are TOO samey/matchy. I love Harriet with Nancy.

Here's what else was on our shortlist to 'match' Nancy:

Charlotte - Lottie

Romilly

Edith

Florence

Eliza ( or Elizabeth)

Rose

I also know sisters Molly & Nancy.

Enjoy the hunt!

aww Douglas is really cute - Doug though? Haven't actually read Swallows and Amazons - should do. Actually very much like Ruth - think is rather beautiful and gentle

Nancy and Jocelyn?

empress absolutely has to be Peggy.

DH has banned me from calling DD (Ruth) Nancy, and is lucky that "Peggy" was a DS.

pennyapples read Swallows and Amazons.
