Thoughts on jace

[Creativewriter]

Struggling on boys names, currently liking jace

As a nickname for Jason its fine as a name by itself I find it a bit odd.

Yes I think most people would assume it’s short for Jason (which is a lovely, classic name BTW).

Not personally keen, it doesn’t feel to me like enough of a name in its own right. Some people would say that about a couple of my choices though. Do you have any other contenders OP?

And the wheeled warriors! showing my age

Jason is nicer.

I know of a LO called Jace, no ones ever presumed it was short for Jason. I think it’s a lovely name.

Never heard it used as anything but a short name for Jason.
Makes me think of mace, but other than that I can’t see a problem.

Hideous name. I would automatically make certain snobbish assumptions about someone who gave their child a name like this - sorry!

Oh wow 😂😂🙈🙈

Sorry, I would think it was a nickname or a made up name or a contestant on some awful reality tv series

Jace sounds like a made up chav type name to me - sorry! I'd go for Jason and nn Jase.

I'd think it was a nickname for Jason.

One of the girls from the first series of 16 and pregnant called her son jace. It's just very American to me

I thought of poor little Jace from Teen Mom too.

It's not a great name, OP.

Chase instead, Jase is a NIckname ? I've met two so far and of course he's the main pup in Paw patrol.

I thought of poor Jace from teen mums aswell :(
Not keen on the name but I like more traditional

Not liking it. Sorry.

Really not at all keen.

Jace makes me think of a book series I read as a teen: The Mortal Instruments. It was a nickname for his initials JC. I don’t dislike it but it wouldn’t be my choice.

Sounds like a made up chav name

Jason

I like it, and while it isn't a common name it would very quickly become familiar. Easy to say and spell too.

It’s no wonder kids get picked on for having the audacity to have a different name when their parents act like this. SMH.

To me, that says more about you than the poor child you’re judging so easily.

What about Jacob, nn Jace? I know they’re different sounds but I think that’s kind of cool and it gives him a few different options (Jacob, Jace, Jake, J, Jack) to choose from when he’s older if he wants to go for something different.
