Thoughts on [name_f]Mercy[/name_f]? It may sound a bit dated now because [name_f]Marcie[/name_f], [name_u]Stacy[/name_u], [name_u]Tracy[/name_u] (similar sounds) are, but in concept it is more similar to [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Hope[/name_f] and I think it might come back?
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f] I associate more with names like [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and also with names like [name_u]Favour[/name_u], [name_u]Wisdom[/name_u] and [name_f]Glory[/name_f], than [name_u]Tracy[/name_u] and [name_u]Stacey[/name_u].
I’ve met a little girl [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] she must be around 7 now. [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] is ok but it gives me such Victorian vibes that I prefer Mercia (the Anglo-Saxon kingdom name) nn. [name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
She’s sweet, gentle, evokes imagery of spring days, pastel pink colours and antique lace. [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] feels very ‘Christian’ and I would associate with other strong virtue names like [name_f]Glory[/name_f], [name_u]Blessing[/name_u] and [name_f]Charity[/name_f]. [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] is a popular choice amongst the black [name_f]British[/name_f] community where I live.
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f] is a lovely gentle choice! I can definitely see it working due to the popularity of names like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_m]Al[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] [name_u]Caraway[/name_u] chose this name for her third child (spelled it [name_f]Mercie[/name_f] though)! She’s very religious, so I think that played into her choice Her other kids are [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] and [name_u]Christian[/name_u], so also religious sounding, especially all three together
I don’t think it sounds dated to me, and maybe because I think if the attribute, not it’s similar sound to [name_f]Marcie[/name_f]
