I didn’t mean I thought it was pronounced Jake. I meant that sometimes nicknames don’t replicate all the sounds in the original name. So, I know a Caroline who goes by Caz, and a James who goes by Jake.

The suggestion was you could still have Jace with the soft c as the nickname but if you didn’t like Jason you could go for Jacob as the full name. It’s unusual but not that odd as a nickname and with Jacob you also have loads of other nicknames to choose from later in life.

I know of a Jace he’ll be around 16 now, I personally don’t like it.

I knew a Jas once, which is apparently short for James. Whenever I heard it I thought why not James? Why only half of it?!

It doesn't even sound particularly pleasant. Too hissy.

Awful, Jason's not much better.

I’d also assume a nick name for Jason. I’ve always liked Jason.

It’s terrible and so chavvy

They recently put Teen Mom 2 on Netflix, so yeah, another one here who thinks of that.

It’s up there with Shay in sheer awfulness. I really wouldn’t.

If you want something short beginning with J - Joel, Jude, Jesse, Jethro, Jerome, Joss, Jonah, Jonas, Joseph, John... etc
