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.
What do you think of it? Would you use it?

Great name. Good associations for me. I've never met a Nancy who wasn't clever, lovely and bright Smile

The character's real name was Ruth, but pirates are ruthless so called herself Nancy Smile

I like it. Did you ever read the Arthur Ransom children's books? The Nancy character was kick-ass.

It's a brilliant name and I would definitely use it.

I like it too. It's "cool" but also a proper name.

Stunning

i chose this for a girl but im having a boy. go for it! pretty and under used.

I really like it. As long as it didn't become 'Nan' which might worry me.

CheshireSplat · 27/06/2015 07:19

I love it. DH didn't so we didn't use it.

I think it's one of those names that some people just don't like. You'll know better than me with three DC already but personally if I wasn't sure about a name I'd take that as a sign it wasn't right for me.

I have a Nancy. She is bright, funny, creative and passionate. She loves her name.
I know 2 others as well both adults and they are lovely people. I have never met a Nancy I didn't like.
