We found out today that DC2 is going to be a girl, which is what we were both secretly hoping for..!

What do you think of Nancy? It is our current fore-runner and has been at the top of the list since finding out I was pregnant with DS.

Other names we love are:

Edith
Esther
Mathilda
Stella
Martha
Phoebe
April

TIA

I love Nancy (of course!)

....david cameron has a daughter called nancy, if he gets elected I wonder if it will lead to a rise in popularity?

Do you think so? What are Gordon Brown's children called? Or Tony Blair's. I can only remember Leo. I'm not sure that people in the UK aspire to being like politicians.

DH had the same worry. Moreover, he didn't want anyone to be under the impression that he was a Tory through his choice of the name Nancy. I took LuluF's line of argument.

It's odd that Nancy seems to go down so well, yet there are relatively few of them - I don't know of any and have never heard it in playgrounds/playgroups.

It is an awful old lady name.

Vested interest but imo a lovely name and everyone always comments on how nice it is too.

LuluF · 06/05/2010 17:17

Well, we only get positive comments, too.
