Lacey

原Any name with an "E" sound at the end sounds childish to me. Can't imagine those names on adults. Haylee, stacy, Ashley, bailey ect.

原I think Lacey is a beautiful name, so classy. If I ever had a boy he would be a Lucas and for a girl, Lacey. If there are any Lacey's reading the comments above, take no notice of the horrible remarks.

原Lace is thought of as feminine so people think a woman wears lace gloves, has a lace veil, has a lace dress, etc. Feminine personalities are called Lacey, not masculine. I have met one Lacey girl, no boys. In America, it is feminine, and basically, Lace isn't manly, so Lacey isn't either.

原So I am a 21 year old MALE named Lacey Fitzpatrick. To be honest, I feel like it's the manliest name around but maybe that's cause I've lived with it for 21 years and it is what I make it. Anyways, just wanted to let anybody who couldn't picture a guy named Lacey know that your name is what you make it- trust me. Sure I was ridiculed as a child even by my own teachers in front of classes but for some reason now, when I tell people my name no one says anything, and if they did I'd laugh and tell them my name's more manly then their original ass -Brandon-Brad-or Daniel shit. Maybe it's the confidence in me, who knows but I do believe it was a male name in Ireland. My grandfather was also named Lacey. He lived his whole life as a hard ass too, so I doubt it affected him either. I sure don't want to put the females down that have the name, it's unisex, but for me I feel personally it's a very manly name.

原This name is another favorite of mine and has been for a long time! Our middle daughter is Laicee Elise, and I much prefer that spelling. Lacey seems too blocky and plain. But the name itself is beautiful!

原Lacey reminds me of the Victorian age and old fashioned. It's a name to honor the past! Aka early 1900s!

原I love the name Lacey. It's cute and perfect for a girl.

原After reading some of these comments I just had to leave my very own! My name is Lacey, I'm 23 and have always LOVED my name. I was happy to see so many positive opinions from previous years and also that many of you think of this name as feminine and elegant. I myself would completely have to agree and if that's not the perfect embodiment of my personality, I don't know what is! :)

原What a stupid name. Makes me think of lacy, sexy underwear.

原I've loved this name my entire life. I named my daughter Lacey Noel, which I think absolutely perfect and adorable for a little pale green eyed, caramel blonde haired 3 month old.

原I can't beleive 'Lacy' is labled as unisex. I can not, for the life of me, picture this name on a male.Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a really a fan of this name, but it's definitely belongs to the females.Same with Tracey and Stacey and such.

原For those who have nasty comments such as "Lacey is a trashy name" and "I can't imagine a strong woman named Lacey" you are so misinformed and narrow minded. I am a very strong woman in my 30's and LOVE my name as it took months for my parents to decide after suffering from many miscarriages and my mother being in a severe car accident when she was 8 1/2 months pregnant with me. So keep the nastiness to yourself, positivity is contagious and I pray you catch it.

原To all the people saying that this name is prissy, you're just stupid! Let's hear your name!Lacey is my name and I love the meaning. It's beautiful as well as me, not to sound conceited, but it fits me perfectly. I am very cheerful and loveable and fun. I cannot see this being a mans name, but to each their own... and to all u "anonymous" users, I am most certainly not a 40 year old prostitute- not even close! And to @kirluci whats your name? Probably stupid as hell! Lacey is a beautiful name and I am very proud to have it! Anyways, I'm done ranting for now but just to, we don't need your drama or stupidity! Love L A C E Y! Muahhh and to all the Lacey's good goin! Your name is beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different! One love peace.

原Makes me think of shoe laces, so no.

原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.

原I might be the only one who thinks this, but Lacey is such a trashy name. It's extremely dated and makes me think of a 40 year old white trash prostitue. It's a cute name for a dog though!

原Why does it say this name can be used for either gender? For a girl, it's a beautiful, elegant name. For a boy, it's awful - like naming a girl Jonathon or some other masculine name. This is one of my favourite names, and I plan on using it for a character in a story. The only drawback is that people might mispronounce it "lazy" or something similar.

原Meh... not good not bad. Sounds cute, but I wouldn't want to name my kid after frilly embroidery.

原My name is Lacey and I always liked my name while I was growing up. Now that I'm an adult, I still like it. I don't feel that my name is prissy but that could be because I'm not prissy. I like the fact that it means "cheerful" because I'm a very happy person and I love to laugh and joke around with my friends.

原Ballroom dancer Lacey Schwimmer from ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

原It's also derived from the Greek name Gelasia: Meaning "prone to laughter."

原This was a name I liked when I was a lot younger, but now I just think it sounds kind of fluffy and insubstantial. There's also the unfortunate association with murder victim Laci Peterson.

原What a frivolous, stupid name. Yuck.

原Despite the fact that it sounds maybe a bit too girly, unless the girl named Lacey is always in pink, I really like this name. I like most -cey names: Tracey, Stacey, and Darcey, the sound is just very soft and feminine. Lacey is best with a longer, slightly "harder" sounding names, they balance out the airy sound. But this is a difficult name to choose a middle name for, because if the name is too short, it sounds like Lacey is an adjective describing the name for example lacy Gabrielle or lacy Jennifer.

原I really like this name but I could never use it because I associate it with Lacey Peterson, a murder victim.

原I don't like this name because it sounds horrible. I don't like names that I think sound lacy like Lacey or Amelia.

原I would find it very odd to meet a male person named Lacey. Lacey clothing, Lacey Washington, Lacey as a girl's name. It's amazing how it seems the lest bit masculine.

原It's a pretty name but only if it's short for something.

原I really like this name. I think it sounds pretty & elegant. I certainly think a female would grow into the name & it would therefore suit an adult. If my next child is a girl this name is a strong contender.

原Lacey is too prissy to be taken seriously as a name. To me, it is the name you give a child when you aren't creative enough to think of anything better. It is an adjective for overdone clothing, not a name.

原To me, this name sounds strictly feminine, and I'd find it amusing if a guy was named Lacey. The name is admittedly very cute, but I have my doubts about how well it would suit a grown-up. It's not the most infantile name out there, but it is a bit cutesy and girly.

原There is a female wrestler named Lacey who is affiliated with Ring of Honor and SHIMMER.

原Lacey Turner is an actress who has played Stacey in EastEnders (British TV soap) since 2004.

原Besides Casey, I don't think a boy should be named anything with -asey, -acey, or -aycee on the end. Too prissy for a boy.

原Princess Lacey is a princess in "Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses".

原Hmm. Although it's true it's sweet and cute I just think it sounds prissy. It's probably because I knew a girl in my dance class named Lacey who was prissy and rude, so don't take offense. Besides that, I also can't imagine a strong, bold woman being named Lacey. It might be good for a fairy or in a story, though.

原Lacey is a cute soft name. I think of a sweet girl when I think of that name. Maybe because it's my sister's name. I love that name. It fits her very well.

原I think this is a cute name. On the one hand it does sound soft and frilly and maybe too childish for an adult, but then the fact that it is an old surname gives it more strength.

原My cousin is named Annalace, as in Queen Anne's Lace. I think it's an interesting alternative if you like this name because of the "lace" bit.

原Worse than Tracey! I think this sounds trashy. To each his own.

原Cute name.

原When you're in primary school you get called lazy! But I still like it! It's LAYCEEE not LAYZEE.

原There was Lacey Peterson, who went missing and was found dead along with her unborn child. Her husband was given the death sentence.

原I cannot imagine a boy with this name, but I LOVE it as a girl name!

原Lacey has always seemed "forever little girl" and kind of prissy to me.

原Lacey Chabert is also Gretchen Weiners in the movie Mean Girls.

原It is a tad too whimsical for my taste.

原I like this name, it's very cute.

原I'm writing a story about a girl named Lacey. I think it's a very nice name.

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

原I just love this name, it is so pretty and delicate. I heard it once on a little girl about 13 years ago but never again.

原Also spelled Lacee, Lacie and Laycee.

原Extremely beautiful name. The "lace" sound makes it sound elegant. If I had a daughter I would certainly consider this name.

原I read somewhere that this is a French variant form of Larissa meaning "cheerful"?

原Lacey means "cheerful". That's cool.

原Lacey Mosley is the lead singer of Flyleaf, a band from Temple, Texas.

原My name is Lacey. I think it's a nice name but I don't like being called it!

原Famous bearer: actress Lacey Chabert. Perhaps most known as character "Claudia Salinger", of the TV series "Party Of Five".

原In Cormac McCarthy's book All the Pretty Horses, one of the main (male) characters is a ranchman named Lacey Rawlins.

原I love this name! It's very feminine, (doesn't strike me as a masculine name.) My impression: it's very lady-like, pretty, fairy-like, elegant and not so overly used.
