Everyone’s hates the name!

Baby girl name Nancy

Everyone hates the name but I love it, what do you all think?

And I also took the inspiration from Stranger Things 😉

I just think of oliver twist,but I don't hate the name.

I immediately thought of Stranger Things. I think it's a nice name but I expect there will be a surge in babies called Nancy because of ST so be prepared that it probably won't be as unusual or unique by the time baby flying arrives.

I like it, I went to school with one although she spelled it Nansi.

Same here Gemini69

It was my mother's name. I love it!

We also aren’t finding out gender until birth.

Congratulations! But it's sex. Not gender. Or at least I hope not.

Gender is all about old-fashioned sex-role stereotypes. I haven't watched Stranger Things but Nancy Blackett's a brilliant example of a girl who refuses to accept the constraints of "gender"& just gets on with being herself. I think it's a great name.

Hidng - Nancy is a pet form of Anne, even though it's longer. It went something like - "mine Anne" > Nan > Nancy.
I too prefer Nancy to Sienna.

I'm in my 50s & think of it as old fashioned.

Nancy Mitford, Nancy Cunard, Nancy Astor.

LOVE IT!!

My garn was a Nancy at some point I her life, although she was also Annie and Anne, confusingly. I don't think she liked Nancy.

I think it will become fashionable again. Those 30s names are.

In case it puts you off, pretty sure David Cameron has a Nancy. To me it's a bit metropolitan chattering classes these days...

But I did love Nancy Drew!

gran nor garn...

in my part of the country its a derogatory name given to miserable ladies

"Negative Nancy"

Or to someone seen as being gay or wimpy

"Nancy Pansy"

I'd never use that name tbh

It's my name!

Hated it when I was younger but love it now...

waves to the haters

Isn't David Cameron's daughter called Nancy?
Also makes me think of Nancy Reagan (showing my age here)

Another consideration is your surname - does it sound OK with that?
For us, all names ending in an "ee" sound like Sophie, Lucy, Emily etc were out because with our surname it sounded too sing-song.

Love it! Avoid Sienna. Unless you have a particular fondness for the place?
Congratulations on your pregnancy

I love it, but hate the phrase Nancy- boy, unfortunately used by jkr. Otherwise I'd hope children today would never have heard it.

I adore Nancy! I always wanted to call my daughter Nancy but our surname doesn't go with it.

It's a beautiful name for you little girl - call her whatever you like, regardless of others.

Lovely name!

All names are pretty much a hit with the surname as I have taken on my husbands Eastern European surname. Something about Nancy just seems to have a bit of classiness and originality to it! I’m all for common names but I do like to be a little different!

Oh dear. Where I live it is derogatory term used by homophobic bastards for young gay men so no, I would never use it for a baby girl in this area.

Agree with PP though, I never told anyone what I was planning to call my DC.

This is why you don’t tell people of your possible name choices, too much input from others.

Nancy is an alternative to Agnes,like Peggy for Margaret.

Since you ask, I think it's a hideous ugly name, and I think Sienna is rather pretentious .

It's gorgeous!! My 7 year old has a good friend at school called Nancy.
