I used to really like this name. I still think it's kind of cute even though the only Lacy (hers was spelled this way) I've known was a snob.

And my cousin has a daughter named Lacy Rachel. It's not something I'd use myself and I agree that it might not age well. I think I prefer the similar sounding Macy (or Macey if you will), has a bit more spunk.

Clouds inside your head
Involving all my energies
Until you visited
With your eyes of porcelain and of blue
They shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense"

Sounds a bit trashy IMO, or hippy-ish.

Believe it or not, Lacey was originally a male given name (it went place name -> surname -> male given name -> female given name).

---

Because it's seen as exclusively female nowadays, I wouldn't use it for a boy. But my prejudice against male names being used for girls prevents me from using it for a boy, unless it's a mn. So basically I wouldn't use it for either sex, though I do like the look and sound.

---

I wouldn't hesitate to use Lacy for a girl, though probably only as a mn because I see Lacy as a somewhat "out there" word name.

Personally, it would be against my ethical standars to name a child after a fabric or a food product.

I really like it.

I used to really like it and for some reason went off it. I dont really like the sound of it any more.

It will age OK. By the time she is older, Lacey will be an older-person type of name. It will be dated though.

---

I don't like Lacey. I feel it tries to hard to be cute.

Lacey underwear. Cheap.

I know a girl named Lacey who is something of a tomboy...
Can you see an adult professional named that?

How about Dacey? Stacey etc.

I like ring of it, but I'm also some turned off from it. It's a tragic name in my opinion due to the murder of Lacey Peterson. Still, it sounds very nice. I don't know if it would age well, though.

I think it's really cute but it's just one of those names that I don't think I'd ever use except for a book character for several reasons and one is that it doesn't seem like it will age very well. :(
