I am pregnant with dc4 and im unsure how I feel about Nancy, one minute I love it and the next im not so sure.

Love it.

Volenflo · 27/06/2015 22:14

Absolutely love Nancy. Very classy.

I have a Nancy. I think it's a great name - feminine yet spirited, old fashioned yet cool, unusual yet well known.

Flowerkid2 · 27/06/2015 22:07

I think Nancy is a lovely name, is on my list too

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 27/06/2015 22:03

Nancy Blackett, Nancy Drew... great name!

FraggleHair · 27/06/2015 21:59

Reminds me of Nancy Blackett from Swallows and Amazons. Fearless, capable and more than a bit bossy.

BonnieNoClyde · 27/06/2015 18:15

I love it.

CakeRattleandRoll · 27/06/2015 18:13

Love it too.

Nancy is my mum's name. It's great.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 27/06/2015 17:46

It's gorgeous, and not over used.

Zakken · 27/06/2015 13:25

I like it. It is a traditional nn of Anne, but has been an independent name for a long time. There's also the French city of Nancy, but I don't think there's a connection.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 27/06/2015 13:20

Love it!

twirlypoo · 27/06/2015 13:19

I love it too!

Nancy is lovely. Some random ideas for middle names:

Nancy Rebecca
Nancy Elizabeth
Nancy Amelia
Nancy Helen

Love it. Ds2 was a boy so never got to use it but so would if I was ever going to have another one.

VixxFace · 27/06/2015 11:43

Well it's a horrible name either way

SuburbanRhonda · 27/06/2015 11:29

Nancy Sinatra

Cool personified - go for it!

Dailylurker · 27/06/2015 11:26

I'm on dc4 and it's top of my list too... Love it x

Mummify · 27/06/2015 11:24

Beautiful name, love it. My husband didnt - same as above 'Nancy boy' concern, which I personally think would not be a problem at all. Go for it xxxx

dreadful
Nancy boy

adarkwhisperinthewoodwasheard · 27/06/2015 10:44

I thought it was a nn for Anne. Have only ever known brilliant Nancys. Love the name by association

silverglitterpisser · 27/06/2015 10:39

I like it but it is a growing name. I've heard of 2 being born in my wider circle the last year or so n there is one in my dc's nursery so not as unusual as it was a few years ago unfortunately.
