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

It reminds me of a kids American cartoon, seems a perfectly pleasant American name.

I really don't like it. I think it has some negative connotations . Sorry OP.

Sophronia · 17/06/2019 18:23

Candace is better.

I feel like she would be judged before she was met into later ages unfortunately, Sorry x

Candice from Coronation Street.

Never met one but think it’s a popular stripper name in the US.

I think of the dinner lady from Waterloo Road.

I quite like Candice as a name based on the sound, but would hate Candy as a nickname so would never use it.

BettyUnderswoob · 19/06/2019 19:09

It's spelt Candace, surely?

I think it's quite nice, actually, but agree with others that Candy is a sickly (but inevitable) NN

FizzyGreenWater · 21/06/2019 12:22

Parents: possibly American?

Name: bit sickly and naff. But not as bad as Satan.

PinkieTuscadero · 21/06/2019 12:25

The name makes me picture a breakfast TV weather presenter, or a QVC saleswoman. Perky and bit annoying. I'm not sure I'd make any assumptions about Candice's parents.

Stripper's name

UnderTheTree · 21/06/2019 12:45

Yeah I thought Candice from Corrie, and she was a bimbo hairdresser from what I remember...

Honestly, very 90s and very American.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 21/06/2019 19:53

Stripper. Try hard. And Algren with others I guess the only way to say it is chav.

Aozora13 · 21/06/2019 19:58

It’s popular in South Africa. I have a friend called Candice (pronounced CAN-diss rather than can-DEES) and she’s ace so it now has v positive associations for me!

managedmis · 21/06/2019 19:59

Awful name

CassianAndor · 21/06/2019 20:01

Are you talking about class? I think it’s quite a classless name. I don’t really like it but it doesn’t say one thing or the other to me.

BlueMerchant · 21/06/2019 20:04

American cheerleader
