Nancy

[tuliipi]

I have loved this name for months and months. Now due date is near and I am having second thoughts. Opinions?

It's top on my girls name list. I know several in their 30s and 40s and think it's a beautiful name that suits small girls and grown women.

Nancy Blackett, Nancy Drew. Great associations.

I like it. Not common but not overly "out there" either.

I think it's a great name

Lovely name! :-)

Really lovely name one of the prettier "old lady" names I think.

Love it. You could go for Anne as birth cert name, it's a diminutive of that.

Horrid. We used to sing a song at school Go and tell Aunt Nancy the old grey goose is dead. So perhaps that's why I don't like it!

Love it, its feminine and suits all ages

I love it!

gummi Why doesn't it travel well? Feel I am missing something obvious!

Do you have any other options in case she doesn't suit it?

Nadia
Nadine
Nia
Darcy
narissa

Or maybe something like Nanette so you can nn Nancy or Etta?

Agnes and Martha also have the official nn of Nancy even though they don't seem related

Nancy will get called nan at school

My dd1 was Constance nn Nancy - absolutely love it

I love it. It was my aunt's name and I would have happily used it, but it seemed like it was becoming a bit too popular in these parts so it didn't make the shortlist.

Love it!

It's a yes from me

I like it but I do think of sid and Nancy.

I am one, hated it as a kid, never met another one my age but have heard children called it recently. I could never ever find a cup or a badge with my name on it!
