Everyone’s hates the name!

Baby girl name Nancy

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

I like it.

One of the most important things I have learned from reading MN is NEVER REVEAL THE CHOSEN NAME OF YOUR BABY BEFORE THE BIRTH

I love the name Nancy.

Fine for when she's retiring but not for a baby or school child as it's very old fashioned. You also need to agree on a name, unfair to just decide on it knowing the other parent doesn't like it.

I love Nancy, it’s a classic pretty name

It was on my list! Had two DSes though...

insert it really isn't. Nancy is a diminutive of Anne.

Love it. Used it as a middle name for my DD.

Lorelai is godawful.

And of course there's also poor Nancy violently murdered in Dickens' novel "Oliver Twist"!

I think it will become fashionable again

It's already fashionable again. But not so fashionable that it's everywhere like Sienna.

My total, all time favourite name!!!! Absolutely love it. We came to using it for DD2 but switched at the last minute. I still think it would really suit her!!

Nancy is literally the perfect name, to me.

My grandmother was called Nancy. She was a terribly posh, tough as old boots and rather terrifying. I think it’s a great name!

Sienna is perfectly nice but it’s just a bit meh in my opinion. But of course your DH’s opinion matters too. I had to accept a name I wasn’t 100% keen on for DD because DP vetoed the ones I loved.

Love Nancy.

I don't like the name Nancy at all, sorry.

It's a million miles better than Lorelai though.

I do like Sienna.

It wouldn't be my first choice but I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I think it's a good name.

I don't like it but then I don't like old fashioned names generally.

Just choose a name you and dh love. Everyone will learn to love the name regardless, as they associate it with your dc.

I love Nancy and din't really understand why one wouldn't as said before Swallows and Amazons etc. It has a fresh feel now but is not unusual as such and everyone can spell and pronounce it.

I don't love it but wouldn't say I hate it. Everyone will have an opinion so please yourself

At the very least it's not:

Ella/Ellie/Elle/Ava/Evie/Grace/Olivia/Lily/Emma/Sophie/Mia/Bella

It’s not a name I like personally, but there’s nothing wrong with it.

It’s been rising a lot in popularity over recent years as well, so there’s plenty of other parents out there who love the name.

I wonder how many pp who LOVE Nancy would actually use it when it came to the crunch?
I think it's a hard name to carry through life, though quite pleasant.

I think it's one of those names that's pronounced differently depending on your regional accent which would put me off - I'd pronounce it Nancy with a short a sound (North) , but I think it may also get pronounced with a long a sound so Narncy

I'd pronounce it Nancy with a short a sound (North) , but I think it may also get pronounced with a long a sound so Narncy

I actually think it would be easy as it's consistently pronounced Nancy with a short vowel I believe.

DD3 would definitely be Nancy!

I don't think it would be pronounced Narncy anywhere!

I like Nancy.

The only reason I wouldn't use it is because I live in France and Nancy is a town here so it would be like calling your kid Nottingham or something, lol.

Yes, David Cameron's older daughter is Nancy.

I think it's absolutely fine. Classic name; not vastly trendy but not totally outré.
