[Opinions] Lacey
I am expecting number 3. I am liking the name Lacey (for girl) due to the fact it's not too different, and yet- not too popular.
Please share with me your opinion of the name.
Thanks

Knickers, just knickers
I can appreciate the appeal but that's my first thought. In saying that I don't find it 'trashy' or brassy strangely enough. Just flouncy and precious like little frilly delicates.

It's certainly not my usual style and I tend to be against names that are also nouns (or in this case an adjective), but there are a few that I find to be exceptions....apparently, this is one of them. I actually think that it can stand on its own and even has the potential of aging well. Congrats on #3!...I say, "go for it!"
I like it. It reminds me of a teacher I had called Mr Lacey. Also, a bit of lace e.g. A lacey dress. I do still like it though because it's not too girly and is rather friendly name. I prefer the spelling Lacie though.
The only person I know named Lacey is a guy, so to me it's a guy's name. It's ok, not something I would use though.
I've always liked it. Congratulations, by the way!
THANKS! :D
I don't like the name, because it makes me think of Lacey Peterson. I can't get the image out of my head.
It's my cousin's name, so I like it, but I might be biased. ;D I think it's pretty.
I'm sorry but I absolutely hate it. It's very downmarket and IMO is trashy.
Of course this is just my opinion!
I think it is my most hated name ever!

I'm probably going to sound like a lot of the other posters... It's cute, or cutesy, really. Not something I would name a child because I don't see it as a great name to grow into adulthood with. If you like Lacey, maybe you'd also like: Whitney, Kelsey, Chelsea, Mallory or Meredith?
Bottom line though: if you love it, then go with it.

I don't like it. I've met quite a few Laceys throughout the years (including my baby cousin) and I've just never warmed up to it. It sounds sickly sweet to be, like Macy, Casey, Jacey, and Dacey (there's a little girl in my town named Dacey). It doesn't feel like a name a child can grown into.
I really think you should go with Larissa or Larisa and call her Lacey is a nickname. Lacey doesn't sound very mature at all for an adult, so it would be good to have a name to fall back on.
In my opinion it is also quite unbecoming for a child. I'd take a look around this site for some more upwardly-mobile name selections.

Honestly, I really dislike that name. It sounds overly frilly and tacky and dare I say trashy to me. Sorry.
I've always liked it. Yet it seems nicknamey, but I know it's not a nickname. What could it be a nickname for? Nothing that I can think of. I guess I'm trying to say that it sounds a bit insubstantial. It is pretty, though. I do like it.
yeah, I understand what you are saying...and no, I don't think it's a nickname. Guess it's kinda like Casey...maybe?
Maybe, but it's much prettier and more feminine than Casey! The L sound makes all the difference!
