HelpNancy
in reply to a message by Fictionfan86110
I’m surprised that Nancy is still on the charts today. It was most popular in the 1930s and 40s, so it’s almost “old” enough for it to experience revival as a “vintage” name.

I actually think Stranger Things helped a lot of people see the appeal of Nancy in the US. I don't see her going anywhere.

I love Nancy

Nancy is currently having a moment in the UK, it seems. I imagine “hip” parents using it here in the US too. I don’t think it will vanish — in fact have expected it to rise.

I started liking Nancy recently. For me it's mostly because of a friend (in her 60s) who I met last year, but it also seems younger to me than it has in a while.

Nancy definitely seems “old” to me, but that’s part of the appeal. Society overvalues newness and youth far too much; there’s a lot of good to be found in older, classic, more established things.

I just meant that meeting a young Nancy feels like more of a possibility than it has in the past, to me.
For example, I also feel like Dorothy seems younger recently, though I don't particularly like it...whereas Mildred, which I do like, doesn't.
I guess I do think it's easier to be fond of names that I imagine on children and elderly ladies than names that sound middle aged to me, though.
