[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 ;)
