Tracy = 108th in the top 1000 US names for women, and Tracey = 278th.
Perhaps you know more Traceys than Tracys? Or can you provide some data? Otherwise I'm beginning to think you make things up, and this is a board for name facts.

Samantha is in Australia, where Tracey is indeed more common.
Many names with y/ey endings more commonly end in 'ey' in Australia: Tracey is more common than Tracy, Kimberley is more common than Kimberly, Beverley is more common than Beverly, etc.

Here in South Africa we're in the same kind of situation ... though I think that Tracy is ahead of Tracey. We've got a town named Kimberley, so most of our Kims are just Kim; and Beverly was unknown here until we got TV (in the 70s) and with it a whole new bunch of American inputs. There aren't any stats available locally, to my deep regret, but I haven't met a Beverley under 50.
Actually, there's a male Kim in the entertainment industry who's Kimbrian - one word - and a friend of mine named her (by now adult) daughter Kimron after a character in a book her husband had read; book now unknown. Daughter rejected this, very properly, and uses Kim all the time.
