Which name do you prefer?

[ladydreamer11]

Ivy, Hettie or Nancy

If Hettie was a nickname for Henrietta then i would go with that as I love it. I don't think Hettie should be the full name though

Otherwise I'd choose Ivy

I dislike Nancy

Hettie. Ivy and Nancy make me think of very old ladies.

I love Nancy, very cool.

Ivy.

Hettie, to me, is a bit like a tizzy. "Ooo, she's in a right old hetty today."

Nancy is a horrible name.

Hettie, can also be a nick name for Hester.

I prefer Ettie to Hettie. Loving Nancy, v cool x

Ivy

Ivy sounds like a Victorian scullery maid.
Hettie isn't a name, it's quite a nice nickname though.
I quite like Nancy.

I'm not sure what Hettie is short for or whether you'd have it as Hettie on it's own but I think it's very cool, definitely my favourite of the 3

Ivy

Hettie if short for Henrietta or something similar.

Otherwise, Ivy.

I've never seen the appeal of Nancy.

I'm not a fan of 'Hettie' as a name in it's own right - I think as a nn for Harriet or Henrietta it's beautiful.
If not, then Ivy - Classic, simple and 'Vee' as a nn is cute.

To me, they are all horrible old lady names, which, I know means that they are very fashionable and popular at the moment

I agree Hettie definitely sounds like it is a shortening or nickname

I have seen a lot of threads asking what people think of the name Ivy, so I'm presuming there are a LOT of Ivys been neamed this year.

Ivy or Nancy, I don't like Hettie.

I love Ivy. Nancy is nice. But Hettie (with a y) is a hoover.

I like hettie as a nickname for Henrietta the best.

Ivy

I have a Nancy so I'm biased. I dont5tbink its as old lady as others do.

I dont5tbink its as old lady as others do.

That'll be because you are a lot younger than me.
It's a generational thing - the names that have been fashionable over the last 6 years or so, are names of my great Aunts and Uncles, Grandparents etc. People having babies now will be much younger than me, so won't have pictures in their minds of all the 'old ladies' these names remind me of.
I suspect some younger folk think that Margaret, Alan, Elizabeth, etc. are 'old people's names', then in 10 - 15 years folk will say the same about Susan, Debbie, Karen, etc.,,,, and so it will go on

Ivy.

Hattie is nicer than Hettie.

Not a fan of Nancy. Nancy Spungeon always comes to mind.

I love Nancy! I hear Ivy all the time, it is really ugly sounding.

Ivy or Nancy

I love Nancy and Ivy is sweet.

Nancy.
I like Hattie better than Hettie. I'd use Harriet or Henrietta though.

I don't get the popularity of Ivy, it isn't even a nice plant.

Nancy. Love it.
