Nancy?

[MadameCh0let]

What do you think? Is it Ouch cool, or bridge-player with her specs 'round her neck.

I'm just wondering, cos I have little to think about, whether or not the new bbc programme make it chavy? Or, would the people who take their inspiration from tv not touch a name like Nancy. I think it's quite cool; in a Lois/Margot kind of way.

Colin is awful. It's just so dull. I am in Ireland and here we have Colms and Calums too. Geeky gadget-loving men who laugh at their own jokes and down load The Lord of the Rings off the internet and watch it over and over are called Colin. Or Owen.

!!

It's funny how names have such stereotypes in the UK. It really isn't much of an issue in the US.

we're all snobs!

I read a book once where people that weren't as rich were called Nancys, can't remember why, I think it was from N.C's or something, But I can't even remember what the N.c stood for.

So actually that's not important at all, ignore me.

Oh, actually I think it was something like No Class.

I've seen names like Brian, Trevor, Malcolm and Gavin being discussed seriously for babies on the US boards.

Are you American living in UK? I want to got to America call my dd "Jemima" out loud. Just to cause a scene.

David Cameron's daughter is called Nancy.

oh, gone right off it now - red light running pillock that he is

I think there's a Nancy in 'Silas Marner'. I remember my GCSE English teacher, mid-monologue, bellowing Nancy? What a sappy name? Who'd call their child Nancy? Then he looked round and clocked my mortified classmate, Nancy, and shut up sharpish.

Having said that I like it.

Prefer Pansy. Like Violet even better though .

I am a Brit living in the US.

I told my mum that if my DC was a boy, we'd call him Trevor. We were just teasing but she was rather

I know a couple of little Brians and Gavins. And Kevin too. One of DS's good friends is Betty.

Nancy - old granny name imo.

Blue's cool. Hope she didn't have a blue rinse though...

we know a little girl called Nancy
I thought it was very chic

It has connotations of middle aged american to me.

not ouch cool at all, but very nice. I like Nan as well.

I like it. But is has been a bit tarnished in my mind since I realised David Cameron had chosen it for his DD. That takes some of the cool edge of it for me!

That's not a name I've thought about for ages. think it's fab.

please dont do it to her! i have lived with it for 32 years - when im introduced to people they dont believe its my real name and make comment like - didnt your parents like you?!? {sad}
and whenever you tell someone your name for something official/over the phone they always think its natalie and you've said your own name wrong

ok rant over!

Oh I knew his wife had designed a handbag called Nancy.... Imagine having a handbag named after you!

It does make me think of America, btu from that happy days era.

Yeah but you're 32(?). I'd think that a 32 yr old might be from China, originally called Nan Xiu and were trying to assimilate.

They say 1 in four people is chinese. So there must be a good few on this thread, Nan Xiu.
