I love Kandace/Candace. I hate the nickname Candy/Candi and this has the optional nickname Dacey (Dae see) that you can't get, authentically anyway, from Candice/Kandice. All you could get from the end of that is Dicey which has negative connotations. Otherwise I would save this name for a middle name if you are like me and don't like Candy because I can guarantee people will try.
