Re: Nancy
in reply to a message by Fionnghuala
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.
