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.

madamech0let - what? yes i am 32, no not from china, from london, what a weird thing to say

[MadameCh0let]

ARe you all really discreet about your children's names? I'm curious. Is it a serious breach of etiquette to reveal ones children's names?

I'd love to know what your boy's name was. As not many people would have seriously considered Nancy, so your taste must be quirky.

[MadameCh0let]

Nancy, must have seemed weird, but quite often Chinese people adopt English names, but they are of the wrong generation. Nancy is one that they sometimes use as it's close to a Chinese name. Ken is another one that made me laugh, on a 22yr old!

Before my comment is analysed any further... It was only a joke.

[FrannyandZooey]

Mme Cholet I think a lot of us like to remain anonymous on here, so avoid identifying details such as dc's names

[MadameCh0let]

Absolutely fair enough. I'd hesitate myself. I have said on US boards, but that's a bit different. I didn't used to live in the US for 14 yrs. I don't know a soul there, so I don't care.

I went to school with a Nancy so the name for me conjours (sp??) up an image of sensible shoes , basin haircut.

[bluenosesaint]

Love it - cool name

[gscrym]

My mum gets called Nancy but her real name is Agnes (which she hates).

Also nice because of the song 'Nancy With The Laughing Face' (really old one).

[shubiedoo]

My sister is Nancy, I love it.

[TaLcYonHerTodd]

Nancy is a fab name, but it makes me think 'nightmare on elm street'.

[MicrowaveOnly]

" whenever 'e needs me, I know I'll.." la la la. It'll always mean Oliver to me!

[tribpot]

nancy75, am somewhat at your experiences - I'm a fellow Nancy and have never had negative comments about it (maybe at school like everyone about something) and only infrequently had it mistaken for Natalie. (I'm 36, btw).

Biggest problem was in Spain explaining it wasn't pronounced NanTHY I have to say!

My mum named me after Nancy Astor - not for her politics but because she was the first woman to serve as an MP.

On the OP, is there a BBC programme which is going to make my name chavvy? Must I leave the country or change it to Chardonnay or similar?

[eidsvold]

my friend's have a daughter called Nancy and she is fab. It is a lovely name that is not so common. She is in her teens now.

[MadameCh0let]

Tribpot, you know that programme a while back called "How do you solve a problem called Maria" where Andrew Lloyd Webber looked for a Maria for The sound of music.

Well, now they are looking for a Nancy for..... I will remember in a second.

Glad you liked being a Nancy! What good taste your Mum had. And I like where she took her inspiration.

[PaulaYatesBiggestFan]

i know an 18 year old Nancy who is so NOT a Nancy but its fab

and a 5 year old who it suits just as well

[MadameCh0let]

Is it short for anything? Anne, Annabel??

[tribpot]

For me: no, but the name originally is a nickname of Anne. Or Agnes in Scotland.

[Heated]

I have gt aunts called Nancy & Sylvie, fab names imo.

[Janni]

For 'Oliver'MadameCholet

I'm surprising myself by liking Nancy as a name, I think its time has come.

[Heated]

isn't dave cameron's dd called nancy?

[Thomcat]

Love it.

Love it, love it.

[BigBadMouse]

I love it! A really good name IMO.

btw one of my most favourite girls names is Margot and I like Lois a lot too.

[Beetroot]

I love love Nancy
