Nancy - Thoughts?

[Jess850]

I have a gut feeling we are having a Boy so have said DH can name Baby if a Girl ;-)

At 41 weeks he has switched from Eleanor Kate Morgan to Nancy Kate Morgan - I am cool with it as I think they are both pretty names and it is so nice to have the weight off my shoulders.
It will not make a difference but it is nice to get outsider opinions sometimes.

I personally don't like it, but LOVE the fact that others do!!

Nancy is nice, better than Eleanor, which is pretty but a bit wet.

I really like both Nancy and Eleanor, I think they're both lovely, pretty names.

Eleanor is much nicer,and a stronger name than Nancy.

One of my DDs has chosen to use Nancy as her nickname for the past few years so obviously she loves it

Robert Burns' Ae Fond Kiss is written for a Nancy

Eleanor is such a classic (I love the Nell nickname), it's hard to go wrong with it.
But Nancy has the classicism with more sass. It's very lively and sparkling. Eleanor is more serious I guess.
That's why I like Nancy better. Sounds like more fun.

I love Nancy it makes me think of the Frank Sinatra song 'Nancy with the laughing eyes'

I much prefer Eleanor. Lovely, classic name that works well in most languages.

Nancy sounds very American and unelegant to my ears, sorry.

Nancy makes me think of Oliver and the awful 'As Long As Heeeee Neeeeeeeds Meeeeee' song...

I tend to think of it as being a rather, um, inelegant name, although Nancy Mitford refutes that...

I love Eleanor / Elinor / Elena.

Nancy is top of my girl list for DC3 (8 weeks & counting).

Both nice, maybe prefer Eleanor but dislike the ever popular Ellie.

Nancy Blackett, Nancy Drew, Nancy Wilmot - you've got some great role models there!

love nancy!

Changed my username just for this thread - guess what I called my DD...

Still my favourite name. Unusual without being too out there, elegant though not when she runs downstairs like a fairy elephant and not a whole lot of nicknames or shorter versions associated with it, so she will be called the full name

Oh and she is 15 so it's not as though I still have a little baby called Nancy

I love Nancy, not that keen on Eleanor though, but it's ok.
