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!

Is Hilary maybe a little hard? What do people think if Felicity? I like Jemima!

Aoife I think Nancy and Martha being linked is prob down to American first lady's? So on that note Hillary!? Grin

We had Nancy on a short list with Marianne (Maggie for short), Harriet and Nico.
Would have had a brother Noah.

Sorry all for not getting back - Couldn't see thread and so thought no more replies. Am a bit hapless on mumsnet. Our Nancy was nearly Martha and have gone off it so much since - but I too used to think they went perfectly - may well revisit - love Polly - is Molly too popular? What about Verity?

Will definitely avoid Sid!

Yes, Polly is lovely and as suggested already goes well with Nancy. Very retro!

Sid

Nancy and Martha are both gorgeous names.I love Ned for a boy.

CarryOnDancing · 15/02/2014 13:35

Nancy and...

Della, Clara, Baxter or Arnold?

EmpressOfTheWellOfLostPlots · 15/02/2014 13:15

Got to be Peggy.

Aw, Nancy was our girls' name. But I have 3 boys. Barnaby, Rory and Monty (outs self...) so it never got an outing. The other girls name we really liked was Polly.

Kaekae · 15/02/2014 13:10

Jemima instantly came to thought when I said Nancy. Love Nancy BTW, think it is a really sweet name.

Misspilly88 · 15/02/2014 10:35

Nancy and Martha just fit together IMO, love both

aoife24 · 12/02/2014 18:33

I'd say Martha. Both strike me as American for some reason.

ladyquinoa · 11/02/2014 22:29

Like Elizabeth also with nancy. Bessy bess betsy are all tops.

ladyquinoa · 11/02/2014 22:28

Molly is nice. Or polly

ladyquinoa · 11/02/2014 22:27

Nell

Good point about Anne - thank you! And very good tip re Elizabeth! Very glad you told me that! Will also avoid Willism (and Oliver!)

I keep being drawn to the girls names, maybe that's ing me something!

I like Molly, is it very overused though?

Or William, for that matter.

Don't go for Elizabeth/Beth. The two main prostitutes in Oliver Twist are Nancy and Bet. That's a bit too matchy.
