Acacia

Acacia means 'thorn' -- all people have thorns. Flaws are what make us special and unique. Acacia is no exception. The name itself is flawless, and I couldn't be happier that more people are beginning to respect it as a name.

Nature names are very pretty. This is one of my favorites!

I love my name, I feel the meaning should be something a bit less "ugly". Short form Cacia or Caci, (Kaysha) or (Kashe).

Acacia is a really pretty name.

Even though it is a tree name, I think Acacia is a very beautiful and unique name. Definitely turn heads, that's for sure. Imagine an Acacia among dozens of Mia's, Isabella's and Charlotte's. It is a unique name that, unlike many others, does not look "vulgar" or seem misspelled. A good choice.

I don’t like the spelling much but it’s okay, not one of my favourites.

I think it's quite nice! Though, I would probably prefer it as a middle name.

The meaning (thorn) is all right, but it sounds disgusting. I picture a grubby, spoiled girl who can't keep her hands to herself.

To be honest, when I first heard this name, I was like “how do you even pronounce this?” (I pronounce it as a-case-e-ah) but now I think it’s a really pretty and unique name. Especially Acacia Rose.

Very pretty name. Never heard of it before.

I´m gonna be totally honest... at first I was like, w0w, why would you name someone after a tree... but the more I repeated it and thought, the more appealing it was, now I think it is a beautiful and unique name. I´d be proud of this name as well.

Lots of people think my parents are black and say I'm ghetto, other then people mispronouncing it I like my name because no one else has it and I hope people don't start naming their kids Acacia or else it will lose its beauty.

My name is Acacia, I love my name and I think it is very very unique!

I think Acacia is a beautiful name. It is so unique and wonderful.

My daughter's name is Acacia Zoey, it's a lovely name just like my doll.

I used this name for a character's middle name in a story I once wrote. At first, I didn't like it a ton and just picked it randomly but this name has grown on me. I think it is a beautiful name and I love its spelling and pronunciation.

I hate both pronunciations of this name.

This is such a gorgeous, underused nature name. The Acacia tree itself has such a striking silhouette.

This name is so cool and ethereal.

I like it because it's my name. When I was younger I used to not like it because people would mispronounce it. I now realize it is rare and very beautiful.

The ending isn't that great because that's the ending that makes us think of Ghettos and I don't like this thought. Still, it's a 6/10 name!

I'm inclined to pronounce this Ah-kay-shya, but I really enjoy the pronunciation any which way it goes. It sounds fluffy and pretty and overtly feminine.
I think any girl or lady, as long as they're sweet, could easily bear this name, it's so warm sounding!

Acacia is a pretty name, whether it's a first name or a middle name.

I had a classmate with this name but it was spelled Akaysha which I liked because [the name] it was unique but I hate names that basically spell out every sound so Acacia is definitely a much better spelling. Beautiful name.

It's rather pretty, when not pronounced with the "-sha" ending. The Acacia is a beautiful tree, and I suppose it'd be an okay choice for a daughter if the tree in particular means something special to you.

Sounds a bit ghetto, and reminds me of a crappy deathcore band called The Acacia Strain.

It's pretty, but I think it's better as a middle name.

I don't like the pronunciation, but the way it's spelled is very pretty, and so are the trees. It sounds tropical to me.

I love this name because it's my name. When I was younger I didn't like it so much because people would always pronounce it wrong but now I like it. I realize it's a rare, but beautiful name (and now more people pronounce it correctly and they ask which way because in Spanish it's pronounced slightly different). Like the other people said, i think only certain people can pull off this name and I think I do it well.

I know an Acacia. She's very nice, and sweet, but no 'exotic beauty.' However, I have always thought this name was a bit weird.

I like the pronunciation 'Ah-cay-see-ah' that I thought it was before finding out the actual pronunciation better, but it's a pretty name either way. I used it as the middle name of one of characters, and she was indeed very exotic; I agree that this name only fits some people, and characters better than actual people.

I argee with Kitten, only a certain person could pull off this name. Like some exotic beauty. It's great for a character, but I don't like it for a person.

This name is so gorgeous. :]

I like this name but only a certain person could "pull it off" me thinks. It would be great on an exotic beauty but not a plain Jane.

Ugh. Ridiculous name.

I think it would be cute if there was a nickname for it like "Cacy" (kay-SHEE) or "Cacy" (kay-SEE). Lovely name.

I used to prefer this pronounced a-KAY-see-a. Now I say a-KAY-sha. I really like this name!

What a wonderful, natural name. Love it!

Love it, it's so pretty!
