Candice - honest impressions

[challengeyourreality]

What does the name Candice suggest about a child's background/parents?

I wouldn’t want to say - sorry.

Nothing at all. No name does.
It's a totally inoffensive name
People's reactions say things about themselves though

That would be something negative then @AverageMummy

Sounds like candida. It's fine though.

I don’t like it, it would make me think of an awful relative of mine who has that name.

Not a fan of the name but no idea what the background implies

It’s not a smart name if that’s what you mean. I would picture parents as trying to be ‘posher’ than they really are and getting it wrong, sorry! Either that or American.

Ps my reaction does indeed show as a pp implied that I’m a snob, so I supposed it depends if that bothers you!

Makes me think of Candice Bushnell (?) the sex&city writer, candida, angelica from rugrats and verucca salt!

I like it and I like Cadence too. I know a 12 yo Candice and she's not a "chav" as people above are trying to imply

The only one I knew was from a chavvy family. I think you can pull it off though

That they are American?

I imagine a sort of bimbo hairdresser, big blonde hair and a short skirt. Sorry I know that’s terrible profiling but that is my first image.

@challengeyourreality yes sorry. I wouldn’t treat someone different as a result but yes.

Although strangely I like Cadence.

I love it and wouldn't have any class associations at all.

With a nn of Candy I’m aid I find i sickly sweet

• I’m afraid that should say

It's a porn stars name
Several iirc. Go ahead she'll be really pleased with you.

Awful. I'm in Ireland and if I heard one I'd assume the parents were more aware of American social media and celebrity than their own culture/history.

Also candy sounds like a fake porn
name

I'd be confused if it was cand-is or cand-ees

No real associations with it

I'm not sure what I would think of her parents, but I really dislike the name and can't articulate why. As pp said, I like cadence though.

I like it - reminds me of coconut ice sweets.

Sounds like a stripper. Not a well thought out name at all.

Although I do like Candice from GBBO and never associated her name with a stripper, but it is a strippers name.

Reminds me of that Bake Off contestant with the lipstick. I'd judge - not thinking that the parents were chavvy or anything, but inwardly just because I couldn't stand her.

I dont like it much. Sounds a bit 90s and in the Shanice Denise vibe. Sorry.
