Help[Opinions] Re: Candy
in reply to a message by Billina
I don't know the Iggy Pop song; Iggy Pop was never something I listened to or got much airplay.
I don't like Candy at all, it's dumb and trashy and also lame. I do really like Candice or Candace, but it seems that Candy is all but inevitable as a nn, more so than with just about any other name and its nickname.
I have known a couple Candaces and a Candisha, and they were all called Candy. Also one of my uncles had a three-legged dog named Candy.

Not Tripod? I've known a couple of people with 3-legged dogs named Tripod.

she was named before she lost her leg
I forget how she lost it, she was pretty old by the time I was old enough to remember her and to me she'd always had three legs. I think she was hit by a car, but it's possible she got in a bad fight; they lived in the western part of the state (Oklahoma) and there was talk of coyotes sometimes.

True, likely the Tripods I knew were born that way, or lost their leg(s) as puppies, and had their names changed.
My daughter's newish second dog is named Run, short for a long kennel name, and it surely fits her;she has what daughter calls "a strong prey drive", meaning she'll run off after anything wild-squirrel, deer, fox, moose.
They haven't had her long enough to feel she'll come back to them(and she's 8 years old), so daughter's S.O. puts a GPS thing on her collar, to find her if necessary.

I knew a Candice who was never called Candy. For what it's worth. I don't see how Candy is any more inevitable as a nickname for Candice than any other nickname for any other name, since Candice is a two-syllable name that trips off the tongue quite easily. In fact, it's very similar to my name (which is the reason that I'd never use it), and I've never had a nickname.
