HelpRe: Candace
in reply to a message by Lily
I've always liked Candace, and I've only known one. She was born in the 70s, but the name doesn't feel 70s dated to me. It looks like it has been most popular in the 50s and the 80s, but never so popular that it's tied to one decade.
I don't know how avoidable Candy is. It's a very obvious nickname, which makes it more difficult to get away from. The Candace I knew was repeatedly called Candy against her wishes, but I've always thought her situation was complicated by the fact that the first syllable of her last name sounded just like store. "Candy Store" is a lot of temptation for a young wiseass to resist. It also didn't help that she wasn't consistant; she let some friends and teachers call her Candy without complaint. If you want to avoid a nickname, consistancy is key. Offering up a substitute nickname can help, too. I think Dacey (DAY-see) could be cute.
Candice is just ugly to me. All I see is Can+dice.
