I love the name Nancy. It's so sweet and feminine and friendly. My "adopted" grandma (whose mn I share) was named Nancy Kate. So it has special significance to me.

I have warmed up to this name, and I think it's ready to come back in style. I think Nancy from Stranger Things has really helped me like this name.

Hate it. Always have, always will.

I like it a lot. The only Nancy I've ever known, a former colleague from the UK, didn't like it and went by Nan. It was her full name. So there are no local associations to muddy the waters.

I don't think it would work spontaneously as a nn for Anne in today's world. So if I used it, in an alternative universe, I'd use it as is.

I amused myself the other day by making a list of girl names ending in -sy or equivalent. I got Nancy, Betsy, Daisy, Lucy and Topsy, and I like all of them enough to use: if I ever had quintuplets and went mad, I think I'd go for Anne and Elizabeth rather than Nancy and Betsy; or maybe not.

Nancy is one of my "bad association" names, so it's a no from me. Besides, it's dated and Anna is much better!

Hi !!!

I like Nancy.
It is a sweet and lively name. It doesn't seem a nickname in my opinion and that's positive.

I like also because of the beautiful song: 'Nancy Mulligan' by Ed Sheeran.

It’s okay as a nn for Anne or for names containing it. Not my style, but not awful.

I like it as a NN. I know two - one with sister Bess, and one with brothers Fin and Jonah. I think it's the full name in both cases.
