Yancy is a very cool name and evokes a southern feel to me. In fact there was a TV show in the late 1950's titled Yancy Derringer. Ex-confederate officer and gambler that secretly worked to help New Orleans law enforcement after the Civil War. His home and gambling establishment was a paddle boat steamer/riverboat. The series plays on one of those stations that specialize in vintage TV shows.
