Acacia means 'thorn' -- all people have thorns. Flaws are what make us special and unique. Acacia is no exception. The name itself is flawless, and I couldn't be happier that more people are beginning to respect it as a name.

Nature names are very pretty. This is one of my favorites!
Even though it is a tree name, I think Acacia is a very beautiful and unique name. Definitely turn heads, that's for sure. Imagine an Acacia among dozens of Mia's, Isabella's and Charlotte's. It is a unique name that, unlike many others, does not look "vulgar" or seem misspelled. A good choice.
To be honest, when I first heard this name, I was like “how do you even pronounce this?” (I pronounce it as a-case-e-ah) but now I think it’s a really pretty and unique name. Especially Acacia Rose.

I´m gonna be totally honest... at first I was like, w0w, why would you name someone after a tree... but the more I repeated it and thought, the more appealing it was, now I think it is a beautiful and unique name. I´d be proud of this name as well.
Lots of people think my parents are black and say I'm ghetto, other then people mispronouncing it I like my name because no one else has it and I hope people don't start naming their kids Acacia or else it will lose its beauty.
I used this name for a character's middle name in a story I once wrote. At first, I didn't like it a ton and just picked it randomly but this name has grown on me. I think it is a beautiful name and I love its spelling and pronunciation.
I like it because it's my name. When I was younger I used to not like it because people would mispronounce it. I now realize it is rare and very beautiful.
I'm inclined to pronounce this Ah-kay-shya, but I really enjoy the pronunciation any which way it goes. It sounds fluffy and pretty and overtly feminine. I think any girl or lady, as long as they're sweet, could easily bear this name, it's so warm sounding!
I had a classmate with this name but it was spelled Akaysha which I liked because [the name] it was unique but I hate names that basically spell out every sound so Acacia is definitely a much better spelling. Beautiful name.
It's rather pretty, when not pronounced with the "-sha" ending. The Acacia is a beautiful tree, and I suppose it'd be an okay choice for a daughter if the tree in particular means something special to you.
I love this name because it's my name. When I was younger I didn't like it so much because people would always pronounce it wrong but now I like it. I realize it's a rare, but beautiful name (and now more people pronounce it correctly and they ask which way because in Spanish it's pronounced slightly different). Like the other people said, i think only certain people can pull off this name and I think I do it well.
I know an Acacia. She's very nice, and sweet, but no 'exotic beauty.' However, I have always thought this name was a bit weird.

I like the pronunciation 'Ah-cay-see-ah' that I thought it was before finding out the actual pronunciation better, but it's a pretty name either way. I used it as the middle name of one of characters, and she was indeed very exotic; I agree that this name only fits some people, and characters better than actual people.
I argee with Kitten, only a certain person could pull off this name. Like some exotic beauty. It's great for a character, but I don't like it for a person.
