I get the appeal of Nan, but I know that I definitely wouldn't want to be called Nan, and that makes me hesitant to put it on a child. I do think that the grandmother connotations make it a poor fit for a given name. I think that it could be cute as a nickname, and then if the wearer decided that they didn't like it they could drop it. Maybe Anna called Nan or Hannah called Nan?

I actually think that I like Non slightly better than Nan, but again I think it would have to be a nickname.

This might be a it of a stretch, but perhaps Non could be a nickname for something like Manon, Rhiannon, or Shannon?
