Hi Kathleen I found it on IGI, so it could be anything. I am clutching at straws at the moment and I have a Mary, an Ann, and a Mary Ann, now I have Nanny, just wondering if they all are the same person. Gloria x

Nan and Nanny and Nancy are usually pet forms of Ann or Hannah, but you can bet that there will be some exceptions to the rule.
