Re: Marcy
in reply to a message by Martha
I'm pretty neutral on it...
I don't dislike the sound, but I don't love names derived from Mars either.
I've never met a Marcy, and I don't remember hearing of anyone in pop culture named Marcy, so it doesn't come across as dated to me.
Mercy, Darcy, Marcelline, Marcella, Marley, and Mary are the first names I thought of in connection with it. I can see why it'd be associated with Nancy and Macy like Gracie mentioned, too. I don't think it'd be weird to meet kids named any of those.
I also thought of Stacy, Tracy, Marsha, and Marlene in connection with it, which would seem weirder to me for a kid, but I had to reach for those.
