Does anyone have or know of a baby called Nancy? We love the name but people keep saying it’s “old”.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

We have a 15 month old Nancy, but she was named for a grandparent. She is super cute, but i'm biased.

I think it's a lovely name.
Is it not a derivative of Anne? Anne -> Nan -> Nancy

I don't know a real life Nancy, but it makes me think of Nancy Blackett from Swallows and Amazons who is an excellent role model.

David and Samantha Cameron's daughter is called Nancy.

I’m called Nancy in real life & in here, I’m 43 and obviously super cool
As a kid I never met another Nancy but I have noticed there are more children called or now

I absolutely love it. To me, it's the perfect name. I've yet to use it for a couple of reasons, but it's been my favourite for years.

I know two little Nancys - it's slowly becoming more popular, but not widespread at all.

yes I know a couple, a 5 year old and a 12 year old.

I know a young Nancy (age three). It might depend where you are in the country? It always makes me think of Oliver Twist.

My next door neighbour is called Nancy. She's about 80. I'm a teacher and I've not come across a Nancy yet. I don't think it's one of the old fashioned names that have come back yet, sorry!

Oh it’s a lovely name. I know one Nancy, she is about 8 and super cool.
