Here is the link to today's column. It is remarkable to me how
Nancy was way more popular in the United States than in Britain for well over two centuries. A few decades ago the British name expert
Leslie Dunkling remarked that it was amazing
Nancy had not yet returned to popularity in England despite its being a top ten name in the 1940s and 1950s in the USA Well, it has finally happened -- for the first time in centuries
Nancy is more common for babies in the UK now than in the USA, back in the England and Wales top 100 while almost out of the USA top 1000. However, it remains to be seen if
Nancy in the UK can reach anywhere near the popularity there it had in the USA during the Baby Boom years.
