[Opinions] Marcy
The other day I was downtown and heard a woman call out the name ' Marcy' I always associated the name with Middle aged women + but instead a little girl came running.I never really liked the name, but now Ive warmed up to it on a little girl, Though I cant see it working on teenagers or young adults.Anyway was curious to what you thought of the name.TIA

It's quirky and cute. Reminds me of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts.

I've always thought of Marcy as more of a little kids' name. My mother has a cousin named Marcy, but I think it's short for Marcella, which does sound like an older person's name.I heard a little girl in the store the other day get called Macy though, which is similar, but I think it's a much worse name.

I've always quite liked Marcy. I'm kind of opposite from you, though, in that I've never been able to associate the name with anyone older than a young adult. I guess if I met an older Marcy, I'd be more able to see it age better.

I've always thought it pretty, and oddly enough, have always associated it with youth b/c of the Peanuts comic strip and Marcie.Unfortunately, there's a mental institution as well as a correctional facility in the region with the name Marcy, so people around here either associate the name with mental illness or criminals. :o(

I prefer Mercy.
