[Opinions] Re: Candace and Candice
in reply to a message by Lily
I love the name Candace. Candice too, but I guess Candace more. I pronounce them, and so does everybody else, Candiss, both versions. I've never heard anybody say it any other way.I think Candace is very elegant without being at all frilly. More like classic diamond stud earrings than like more trendy bling.I've know a couple Candaces/Candices, plus a Candicia, and they were all called Candy. There is a Kandiss at my daughter's school, she's about eight, I guess. As far as I know she's not called Candy. It's very rare to find a Candace who isn't called Candy, even when they would prefer the full name. Candy is silly and trashy, the total opposite of Candace.

It's not that rare to find a Candace that doesn't get called Candy all the time. Never heard anyone call most of the ones I've known Candy.

I never heard it pronounced any other way either but this site says that it can be pronounced kan-DAY-see or kan-DAH-see and now I'm confused which is why I asked ;)
