I've known two women named
Janice. One was an elderly lady who loved to garden and bird watch; she passed away in her nineties. The other
Janice was a passionate grad student in her twenties when I knew her but would be about thirty now. They were both very nice women, and they made me like
Janice.
Nancy makes me think of a maid in a movie or book set in the late 1800s or of a waitress in a 50s diner. It is a comfortable name.
