The name Nancy

[Babybump2018]

Does anyone have or know of a baby called Nancy? We love the name but people keep saying it’s “old”.

Fantastic name. I know a 6yr old Nancy and have never thought it sounds "old".

Love Nancy and it was top of my girls names list. I only know of 1 and she is now 11.

It's my first name but I have never used it because it was an old lady name when I was growing up (I'm in my 50's). I so regret not using it now - I love it but am stuck with my boring, very overused middle name 🙁. Go for it - cute for a little girl but works for a strong independent woman too

My 18-month-old niece is Nancy. It suits her perfectly, she’s such a little character!

Dave & Sam Cameron have a daughter called Nancy

I love it. My friend had chosen this as a definite for her dc but he turned out to be a ds. It's definitely number 1 choice for her next dc. Haven't met any yet in the many baby and toddler groups I attend. Would be a great choice

I know a 13-year-old Nancy. I think it's on the rise and is filtering through to babies now. I like it.

Love it but my mother said it was a prostitute name because of Oliver Twist

Love Nancy.

I like it BUT it reminds me of an aged out of date term used by people a few decades ago to describe flamboyant homosexual gentlemen - I head to soul search a lot about whether to call DD it for this reason and we didn’t.

BUT if it’s good enough for Dave and Sam Cameron....

My mum is called Nancy. She is 77 but i think it is a lovely name for a child. She is actually Agnes on her birth certificate but has gone by Nancy since the day she was born.

Getting popular very quickly!

I adore the name Nancy, but I don't know any.

I think it's lovely, but very hip. Be prepared for it to be not at all hip in 10 years' time...

The Dave Cameron connection is a bit make or break isn't it really.

I love it

Makes me think of Nancy Drew, she was cool.

Nancy Blackett from Swallows and Amazons was extremely cool.

My DD is a Nancy. She's 6. Never really heard anyone else with it round here until recently. Another kid in her swimming class.

I love it. My gran was Anne known as Nancy. I think it's very cute for a little girl but also works for a grown up.

My best friend has a Nancy (3) otherwise I would use it. It's beautiful

Its on our list for DC3 (who is stubbornly refusing to make an arrival despite being due a week ago). Along with Florence, Clara, Annabelle and Clementine (an outsider because DH doesn't like it).

Nancy from Stranger Things is a cool character! It’s lovely and timeless

I have 2 nieces called Nancy, ones two and the other is three. Beautiful name

I know two grownup Nancys, both of whom are supremely calm, collected, capable people that are really lovely. Both always go that extra mile to help or support people, and are just fantastic, reliable people.
