Re: Nancy
in reply to a message by Laurenzia
My name is Nancy, and I have always loved it. It has never really come up that it's a nickname for anything; I have found that most people I meet consider it as a name that stands on its own. I think it's a cute name without sounding old fashioned, and not overly cutesy for an adult. It's also not so common that every little girl has the name, and I don't recall any major teasing about it as a child. And now that there are the "Fancy Nancy" children's books, she would have her own first reading list :) There are a lot of short middle names that go well like Faye, Kaye, Kate, etc.
