Comments for the name Nan

Nan is one of the children in "The Bobbsey Twins" book series.

Nan Goldin is a notable American fine-art and documentary photographer.

One of the daughters of Anne of Green Gables & Gilbert Blythe was called Nan.

Nan is what my friend calls his grandma.

Henry VIII's second wife (and earlier mistress) Anne Boleyn was heavily disliked by the common people and those with sympathies to the Catholic church (and thus the Spanish Queen Katherine, Henry's first wife). They believed her to be a witcha and gave her the nicknames "The Great Whore" and "Black Nan".

This would be pretty infantile as an official name, but it works as a nickname, I guess.

This sounds so bland as a given name.

The protagonist in the book "The Nanny Diaries" by two former nannies is named Nan. I think her full name is Nanny, although I don't like that because Nan is a nanny.

Helen Kane was in the 1930 film Dangerous Nan McGrew and there was a song with the same title in the movie.

This is what me and everyone I know call their Grandmother.
