Love this name, but it’s just too associated with Macy’s. But Macy’s is where you go when you’re on a shopping spree with your mom. Macy is an actual name (and a pretty one too at that). There’s a difference!
Reminds me of the Macy’s holiday parades in New York.

I like the name Macy as I feel it resembles someone strong and independent because Macy means weapon and the nickname, Mace, could be interpreted as mace spray or a mace as they are both weapons.
If it helps those considering the name Macy... My daughter’s name is Macy and she loves it. She’s a teenager now and really likes the fact it’s unique and ownable. She also likes the short length. I chose the name because I read in a book it meant strength, with elements of creativity and intelligence. So, I figured we had a lot of bases covered with those three characteristics (haha!) Side note: To the people who called the name “gross”, “tacky” and “better suited for a dog”... I obviously disagree.
Actually, I've changed my mind about the name Macy. I really love this name! It's super cute. :3 Plus it's unique.

Macy is ok, even though I don't really like modern names. But only Macy, any "creative" way of spelling it like Maci, Macie, or even Macee is incorrect and completely childish.

This name is cute! I've never actually met a Macy before. I can't choose the best way to spell it: Maci, Macey, Masey. I don't really like Macy because it's the name of a store (Although on the other hand, it would be easy to just say, 'It's Macy, like the store.') It reminds me of a birthday party for some reason..^.^
My name's Macy, and overall I haven't met another Macy with her name spelled the same. 'Macy' could also be derived from the French weapon 'mace', which I always thought was interesting. There's only two problems with the name: 1) No one knows how to spell it right or thinks I'm Lacy 2) I used to have a strong Southern accent so everyone thought my name was May-cee-ah.

I think that Macy is a very pretty name! I have never heard of it for a boy... it sounds so feminine and girly! I think that girl's names should sound girly, and boys names should sound tough (No matter the personality of the person! If a tomboy is named something really girly like Sophie, I think that makes things interesting!)
You hear this name a lot during the holidays. You can shop for clothes as Christmas gifts at the shopping store, and anyone who hasn't been born and raised under a rock knows about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I've never met anyone called Macy and I don't know of any famous Macy's. But "Macy Misa" is a fictional character on a Disney Channel TV show called Jonas L.A and she is played by Nicole Anderson.
After spending too many years watching the ghastly Bold and the Beautiful in the 90s, I can't imagine this name on males. I actually can't stand the name. It sounds tacky and girly; it just doesn't sound good on a grown-up.
This name isn't rare at all! It's one of the most popular names in the US.

I don't know what the unknown user above was on, saying this is one of the most common names in the US. I have never met a Macy in my whole life, but I have met a Mason. It is a nice, unique name that makes me think of a kind but independent person.
