[Opinions] Lacey for a boy?
I met a boy named Lacey yesterday. What does everyone think of that as a boy's name?

I don't like it for either sex

I honestly dislike it for either gender, but it seems even worse for a boy. It seems really cutesy to me even though it can be a surname. A boy named Lacey would probably be teased.
There used to be a male politician in this area with the fn Lacy. On an older man, I can see it as a surname-name, maybe his mother's maiden name. But now I see it as such a trendy, silly girl's name that it seems even worse on a boy. :(

You got to be kidding? Lacey is a girl name. If you want your son to be teased go ahead
Click on Lacey. It's unisex. I agree about the teasing, but your response was a bit rude. 1) No one said they were naming their son Lacey, she just asked what others thought of it, and 2) Lacey is not just a "girl name".

I don't like it on a girl, so I can't see myself liking it on a boy, either. For me, it falls in the same category as Destiny, Tiffany, etc.
I like it.
In theory, at least. I think of Lacey Rawlins of Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses--while I hated that book, his character was certainly quite masculine, and it reflected onto the name for me, heh.
However, I don't think it'd work so well in practice. Which is a pity, but that's that. It's associated with lace and frilly things, considered very feminine, and it was well-on overused for girls in recent history. The only masculine nickname it offers is Lee, which is rather contrived.

Lacey is just like Stacy and Tracy; it was originally a surname and was regularly used for boys before it became a predominantly feminine name in the USA. I think it would be fine if it's honoring a particular person, but I don't think I'd use it unless I could point out to the child a specific admirable namesake.
I don't like the name for either gender.
Fabrics just don't do it for me.

Lacey reminds me of a frilly, lacey, delicate, little girl.
