Nancy?..

[babyfish2]

What's your opinion on the name Nancy? I'd like to know if anyone associates it with anything in particular and just a general consensus!

Really don't like it. Just immediately think Nancy Boy

Nancy Boy was actually by Placebo.

Love it! We have family members called Nancy so I might be slightly biased though! I think it works well at all ages from baby to old age.

Thank you all. We did end up naming her Nancy, she's 5 weeks old now😊

Congratulations!

It is my real name as well as my MN name, I’m sure your daughter will be very happy as a Nancy

I did wonder when I looked at the date of posting !
Congratulations, beautiful name.

Yay, congrats OP.

I associate it with Nancy Mitford, Nancy Astor and Nancy Cunard since you ask.

One of my fav names.

Congratulations op! Lovely name.

Nancy Drew, Nancy from Stranger Things, Nancy Boy by Placebo

Not keen I'm afraid - reminds me of spiders, the slightly irritating character from Peep Show, plus the old homophobic slur. Potential to be shortened to 'nan' which I dislike. Mind you, i met someone with a dd called Patsy the other day, which I see as being quite similar, so it may be that these kind of names are on the up.

It’s been my name for 45 years, nobody has ever shortened it to Nan!

I have always loved the name Nancy, great choice.

Just seen your update, how lovely, many congrats on baby Nancy

Congratulations on baby Nancy!! I think I’ve restarted your thread off.
My Nancy dose get shorted to nan which I like.
Your always going to get name divides even names like Emily and Charlotte people will have opinions.
What I love about Nancy is how elegant and sophisticated it sounds and how unusual.
She starts secondary school in September so I’m a bit apprehensive about how other kids will react especially the homophobic slur.
There is always a few small minded bigots.
But enjoy your beautiful daughters unique name because most people will always say “ what did you say her name was? Nancy that’s such a beautiful name, I love it “

I think of an old woman also reminds me of the witch in the craft the crazy one

Love, love, love it.
