I feel like people just heard the word Caprice, assumed it was a name like Clarice and put it on a birth certificate. I'm okay with word names that have a positive meaning, like Felicity, but this is just weird, almost like Chastity.
The name Caprice sounds unique and dazzling. I disagree with everybody who has commented that they do not like how the name sounds like other things, or they don’t like the meaning. It doesn’t matter if the name sounds like things, it matters how it sounds.
I have kind of a "name-crush" on this name. It really has a beautiful sound and imagery with the island of Capri, but, I would never use it as a first name (in real life anyway) because it reminds me too strongly of the word "capricious" and (less so) tacky capri pants.
Hello. My name is Caprice. My father named me after hearing the name in France while in the Army. I have to say it is unusual but very distinguished. I have grown to love my name and get complimented daily on how beautiful it really is. LOL. When I got into my older 20's I found out a guy that picked on me in grade school actually named his daughter with my name but used as her middle name. And I worked with her mother in my thirties.
Caprice is my middle name... I've always been called Caprice and I love it. I hated it as a child because people had a hard time remembering it but I now love how unique it is. And I'm certainly not a hooker or a stripper. My mom named me as soon as she knew she was pregnant. My first name is Regina and they went well together. I named my daughters unusual names as well.
I believe the name is beautiful, because I am named Caprice. I have met only a few that carried this name, which I'm thankful for. I wouldn't want a common name.
You have "Capricia" as a diminutive of this name. Shouldn't it be a variant? (You do have a separate entry for it as an elaboration, which is more accurate. [noted -ed]
Since the meaning is 'whim,' I imagine this name belonging to the daughter of immature teenage parents. It actually sounds like a name, at least, but it does not sound pleasant. There are so many more positive names out there, please choose one of them!
This name sounds like a stage name for a showgirl, stripper, or even a prostitute. It doesn't sound like a name a person would give their child, and I apologize to anyone who bears this name if I've offended them.

This name sounds like an unfair sexist stereotype to me, and it sounds more like a pseudonym than anyone's real name.
