Nancy: too popular??

[Lambchop76]

I really like the sound of it with the surname, and it feels quite feisty & characterful to me - but is it too trendy? I don't know any other young kids (yet) so have no grasp on its current popularity...

I dont know anyone with the name Nancy

David Cameron naming his daughter Nancy probably stops the name ever becoming trendy.

I love Nancy.

I only know one, she's 3 and very feisty and characterful!

I see it a lot on people's 'possibles list', but I don't think it actually gets used that much. I don't think it's in the top 100.

My favourite Aunt is called Nancy...My girs adore her

I know a 2 year old Nancy - she is also very feisty and characterful! We live in Wales and there is also 'Nansi'. But that's a different thing.

I think Nancy is quite cool.

I know 3 or 4, a 9-yr old and the others are 2-4 yr olds.

I think of it as one of the old-lady chic names but not as popular as Edie for example

Not a single one at our local school or toddler group...it's cute and different.

Thanks for all your comments! Yes the Cameron connection puts me off, but hopefully by the time she's at primary school he'll be but a distant memory...!

We have an 18 month old Nancy and haven't met another one yet. People are always very complimentary about the name. Although beware; we have drawn 4 elderly people to tears so far as they remember a Nancy from the past.

Nancy is on our short-list - so I'm biased, I think it's lovely!

I checked the last set of figures from the Office of National Statistics the other day (yes I am sad, yes I have way too much time on my hands!) and it came in at 143. So I don't think that common. (off to seek medical help for being a fusspot now...)

I love this name also, but it has popped up on here alot recently so am thinking there is going to be a baby boom of little Nancy's within the next few years! Which is a shame! X

I think of Nancy as being quite a classic name, I know loads, one on her 70's, one of 34, one of 33, 9 years and 7 years.
I think because I have always heard Nancy about, I almost think of it in the same way as I do the real classics.
It is lovely, and all the Nancy's I have known have been real sweethearts, which endears it to me further.

Nice name. I don't know any little Nancies. Only an adult who is vile.

I love Nancy. Great name, and I don't think it's too common, I only know one (and don't know any adults called it).

It's my name and I was the only Nancy registered in my city since the 40's and I was born in the 80's.

She'll end up being called Nance though x

I wouldn't have said it was particularly popular? I've never known anyone with this name.

I don't know any

I know 2 nancys under 1 yr if that's useful??!! It might be due a comeback?!

I love the name, but I've never met any little Nancys since having my DCs. The only Nancy I know is 87!

I have an 8 week old gorgeous nancy. I got the impression not many people liked it at first but now love it. I wanted an old fashioned but unique name and I've not heard of any Nancy's at all round here. I do hope it doesn't become too popular!

i only know one nancy and she is three? lovely little girl, i think its a sort of old fashioned classic, not too popular :)

oh actually when i worked in an old peoples home as a teenager there was a nancy there, she was a lovely old lady :)

I know of two little Nancy's locally, both aged around 3. I think it is more popular than it was, but doubt it will become extremely so.

oops, apostrophe error - Nancies?
