Nancy, Cecily & Connie

[Spink]

I've done my boy's name survey, now it is time for girls!!

what do you think? Middle name will be Anne after dh's ma.

Sorry not keen on any of them

I like all of them, would probably go for Nancy

Love Connie. I wanted a Connie but DP said only if she was registered as Constance so we went with Anna. Not sure about Connie Anne though

Nancy is just a derivation of Anne isn't it?

Cecily goes best with Anne but will get shortened to Sissy

I like all of them, and considered all of them for DD [especially Cecily] Least keen on Connie, love Constance, but don't like Connie for some reason.

ooh, I'm going to check out the Nancy derivation of Anne thing, hadn't heard that.

I don't mind Cecily being shortened to Sissy, think it is sweet, and Sissy Spacek is really cool . If we were thinking of calling a boy Cecil and you'd pointed out the Sissy thing, would have been more of an issue!

I think Connie might be dropping out of the running, Connie Anne doesn't sound great, does it? and we are definite on the Anne part.

I love Cecily, and it goes really well with Anne

I have always loved Cecily and would love to have a DD called that but DH vetoed it. Lucky our DC was a DS really. Nancy is a derivative of Ann(e), yes.

love connie and nancy

I like all of them but I don't think they go with anne as a middle name.

What about the other way round - Anne Cecily.

Nancy and Anne are the same really I think. And connie anne is difficult

I like Cecily and Nancy but think Cecily goes best with Anne.

Like Cecily best too. It sounds less dated. Nancy and Connie were very common about 50 years ago, but they've dropped off in use drastically:

Am loving the website babynamespedia!
Have checked out all our family names!

Constance, Connie best

Constance Anne

mrs woolf - where do you get those stats from for the UK? I have only ever seen top 100 names.....

Nancy is cute, Connie makes me think of Connie Fisher....in fact, I'm wondering if you aren't a bit of an "I'd Do Anything" fan?!
Cecily is gorgeous - and is one of my top three if mine's a girl.

Like them all, but agree with others that Cecily goes best with Anne. Also the most unusual, if that's what you're looking for. Also like Constance.

I find Cecily too sseh-sseh-sseh

Celia is nicer

I love Cecily... but you can't use it- its on my list
I like Nancy a lot too, but as a nickname, not a given name.
I like Constance, but not Connie, which I believe is what Ruty said too.
Actually, Constance is on our list, but probably won't be used, as DH points out, we'll never be able to prevent people calling her Connie.

Love all 3.Ds2 would have been called Nancy.

I like Constance and Cecily, though think they are both slightly pretentious and bluestockingy.

Nancy is a vile name.
