I'm pretty back and forth on having no feelings about
Candace, and thinking it's a nice name. It does have a sort of dated feel to it, although I've known a variety of ages of Candaces. If anything I'd say it's 80s dated.
Hmm, lots if I count all spellings. I went to school with Kandis, college with a
Candice, church with a
Candace (she's a little older than me), my mom has a friend
Candace "
Candy" whose in her 60s, I kid I went to school with's mom was named
Candace, I have a friend with a 1 year old daughter with the middle name
Candace... I'm sure I'm missing some too.
Candy isn't inevitable. These days
Candy is so out of fashion I doubt anyone would try to use it without asking. And I find people call someone what you introduce them as, or they ask.
I think
Candice is prettier too.
