I like Nancy a lot. It's seldom used where I live; I've only known one, and she was British, given name Nancy, but she hated it and everyone called her Nan. I would use it as an independent name, not a nn for Anne or anything else.

Tracy is so very flimsy and dated. The only thing in its favour is a distant memory from an article on teaching Latin in US schools: trying to relate to the learners, the teacher gave them all Latin names to use in class, and a girl named Tracy was creatively named Vestigia!

I like Nancy, I don’t care for Tracy.

Tracy is SO dated, but I actually really like Nancy.

They're really dated, with Nancy being much more so. I cannot picture the name on anyone younger than about 50. The name just belongs to a different era. It also reminds me of the word, pregnancy. Tracy leaves certain impressions, along with Stacy, some not so pleasant. However, I'd choose it over Nancy any day.

Tracy. Always hated Nancy.

I kind of like Tracy, but I would never use it. I can take or leave Nancy.
