Stick with it. It's beautiful x

Rockandrollwithit · 16/12/2017 20:26

Do what you want. I like it and my sister is friends with a Nancy who is really lovely.

Our DS1 is called Giles. People were not keen at first but now, three years later, even MIL agrees that it is the perfect name for him.

Sienna is lovely.
I don't like Nancy at all. It's just not an attractive sound.
Lorelai is a bit flouncy imo

I love it. More importantly you love it. Screw everyone else. Bet you hate some of their choices of kids names!

Hell no (sorry)

madeyemoodysmum · 16/12/2017 20:33

I like Nancy in stranger things is kick ass cool and it's a cute name for a baby.

Afreshturkeyplease · 16/12/2017 20:33

I like it

There is a Nancy in my dds reception class

thegrinchreaper · 16/12/2017 20:46

I like it. Couldn't get away with it where I live now though, as it's a homophobic term :(

pipilangstrumpf · 16/12/2017 20:47

I don't like Nancy at all, sorry.

nancy75 · 16/12/2017 20:54

Oi you bastards! It’s my real name & im not an old lady!

LoveInTokyo · 16/12/2017 20:56

It's not an old lady name. It's a timeless name which is slightly unusual whichever generation you happen to be. Unlikely to ever be the next "Mary" or "Susan" or "Laura" or "Evie", but not way out there.

My nanna was Nancy but her real name was Elizabeth...

youarenotkiddingme · 16/12/2017 21:03

Love it.

But I have a cousin called Nancy - and she’s fab Grin

OpalIridescence · 16/12/2017 21:08

I like Nancy, it's very sweet.

I actually have a Lorelei though so I also would give a vote for that a choice too.

Just choose what you like, it is an utter irrelevance what other people think. There isn't any universal agreement to be found. One person's classic is another boring. One person's beautiful is anothers 'godawful' Wink

Puppymouse · 16/12/2017 21:32

It was one of my faves. DH overruled me. Lovely name!

illuminousopptomist · 16/12/2017 21:49

Makes me think of Bill Sykes and dirt and grime - sorry.

Branleuse · 16/12/2017 21:59

I bloody love it

CatInTheChristmasTree · 16/12/2017 22:01

I love it!

AlmostChristmas · 16/12/2017 22:02

Lovely, always nice girls too- trust me I'm a teacher 😉

Buntysoven · 16/12/2017 23:27

I have a Nancy Ramona and so I'm very biased! DM pulled a face at first but 2 seconds of holding her put that right.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 17/12/2017 01:08

I have a Nancy Ramona

Two of my favourite names! Gorgeous together.

PinkCrystal · 17/12/2017 01:16

I really dislike it but if you like it then use it!

MrsDilber · 17/12/2017 01:29

Love it!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/12/2017 13:29

❤️ Nancy

LeahG94 · 17/12/2017 23:23

I like Nancy, it’s classic and different.
