For a boy or a girl?

---

I happen to list Stacey on boys, but prefer the (less legit, I know) spelling Stacie on girls.

---

I do think it is dated... very late seventies and early eighties to me. So, I definately know people my age with the name.

---

However, I like names that are last generation - not quite dated anough to be retro chic, but not new enough to be considered trendy. Stacey is a perfect example.

---

I do prefer names that seem a bit more complete usually (Caroline over Carrie, Cassandra over Cassie, Elizabeth over Lizzie, etc). However, I know that Stacey is one of those names that sound better as is, like Kelly.

---

Still, I think if I were to use Stacey today, I would make it short for Anastasie or Anastasia for a girl.

---

For a boy - I think it is fine as simply Stacey. And, I like it as such.
