I've met two. One that was born in 1986, hers is spelled
Candace. Then my little sister, born in 1990, spells it
Candice. I've always thought
Candice was the prettier spelling, as well, and I am usually a stickler for the original spelling.
The only people that ever called my sister Candy/Candi were my grandparents that called her
Candi Leigh, occassionally (
Leigh is her middle name). Everyone just calls her
Candice generally, though.
I think
Candice is like
Gillian or
Julia, they are all names that have been popular in the past, but never so popular that they feel dated, if that makes sense.
