I imagine this was given to at least one child whose parents really wanted them to stop crying in the middle of the night.

I'm surprised this name is really old- it sounds infantile to me. Plus, the meaning is terrible! I wonder if this name stemmed from misogynist beliefs.
I kind of like the sound of it, but not the meaning.

I think this is actually a really cute name. It sounds so much better than Tracy or Stacey. The meaning and history don't bother me.

I'm glad this name is archaic. It's sexist and moronic, based on the Biblical Paul's misogynistic beliefs. I pity to think that some parents may have used this name, perhaps thinking it's a variant of Stacey, unaware of its meaning and history.

I can see why this name died out. It's an ugly name that came from the misogynist belief that women were supposed to be silent in church.
I love this name! "Tace" is a great nickname and it just rolls off the tongue. I think it's a pretty, feminine and original name - much more interesting than Tracy.
Looks like someone misspelled Stacey, and sounds like someone with a severe lisp trying to pronounce Stacey. This name sounds very girly and infantile, and it's not pretty. The origin of the name rather makes me wonder if this was created as a ''virtue'' name to propagandize the idea that women should remain silent.
