Lacey

A man's name? You betcha! Hurrah for the men named Lacey who wear it proudly! In our Irish family the name passed down from father to son over many generations is Marion! Just like John Wayne who was born Marion Morrison.

My name is Lacey. I am named after my grandfather who spelled it Lacy. I've never asked my parents why the 'e' was added but I'm glad they did. Looks prettier to me. I never liked the name growing up because of people changing it to 'lazy', 'lassie' (after the dog) or staying it was a hookers name. No need to worry, I have a very strong, dominant personality and handled the teasing very gracefully. Now I quite like the name. I've grown into it more. The name means cheerful one. I am very out going and happy go lucky. I am also prissy but will hunt game and compete in fishing tournaments and the name still suits me. So, as far as the complaint of the name being too prissy, your name isn't going to change your activities and who you will grow into.

Lacey has been on the top 1000 list since the late 1960's with its peak year being the 1980's.
