Comments for the name Candy

It sounds too ditzy to me, it sounds like a floozy's name (my apologies). "Candy"/"Candi" is undignified. "Candace" is a lovely name; use it.

Always reminds me of a bimbo.

"Candy's Room" is a song by Bruce Springsteen and "Candy Says" is one by The Velvet Underground.
Funny story - I knew a woman with the surname Cotton. Her parents almost named her Candy, but didn't. She was very grateful.

My name is Candi, and yes I have taken my share of comments over the years.
Honestly, I like my name. My husband says it reflects my personality, sweet. :-) That works for me.

I like the nickname Candy. I think it's cute and perfect for someone with a sweet personality!

This is my grandma's first name. She got it changed from Carmel Ball to Candy Ball. In my opinion, I don't think it was much of a change.

I think the name Candy is sweet for a 5 year old but you wouldn't want a 60 year old walking around with the name Candy.

Stupid name!

My friends, and some family, call me Candy, only in informal situations. Personally, I don't care what anyone thinks about it; I know I'm an intelligent, respectable person, and like the anonymous user said: it's a perfect name for someone with a sweet personality!

Yummers! I love Candy! Also kinda trendy!

Try to picture a 50 year old with the name Candy. Would it still suit them?

I think that Candy is a very cute name. You are just all ignorant, who could say that the name only fits a bimbo, I mean not all Candy's are stupid blondes. You make all people feel bad if they have the name and they are blondes. I mean not all blondes are bimbos! So Candy is not a bimbo name!

The first Candy I ever knew was not a person, but a dog. A very old, three-legged dog my grandparents had. I can't recall much about her except that she was middle-sized and black. Candy's kind of cute, but not very grown-up sounding. I just can't imagine a Judge Candy Cooper, whereas I have no trouble envisioning a Judge Candace Cooper.

Again, whatever the spelling this name screams 'TACKY!'

It's a cute nickname, but I would never use it as a real name.

Candy is not a bad name. It is cute and fun! So stop judging people.

I don't like this name for a person but I like it for a cat.

This is like naming your kid Sugar or Coco. It's kind of silly sounding.

I kinda like the name. My friends name is Candace. But I call her Candy.

My great Aunt's name is Candy. I think it's nice as a nickname to Candance, but not a name on its own.

No offence to anybody, but whenever I hear the name 'Candy' I think 'cocktail waitress!'

Candy Darling was a transsexual actress starring in some Andy Warhol's films.

Candy is the name of one of the characters of the TV show Two Men and a Half.

Candy Kendall is the name of Charlize Theron in the movie The Cider House Rules.

I like *eating* Candy.

This would be a cute nickname for a friend of a relative, but in my opinion it's very stripper sounding. You know, because strippers seem to always pick names after foods for some reason.

The name is simply too cutesy and immature, and a woman named Candy would have a hard time trying to be taken seriously.

I really mean no offence to anyone with this name but it always makes me think of a hooker.

This name is tolerable, but only if it's short for something like Candace. It should NEVER be used as a name on its own.

Candy would be a cute nickname for Candice if so many people didn't have their heads in the gutter. I used to really like this nickname, but all things considered I wouldn't give it to a child.

This name makes me think of a porn star or a stripper.

Candy Suxxx (real name Candice Shand) is a prostitute and porn star in Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Candy Ardly, the main character in the Japanese manga from 1975-1979 "Candy Candy".

How about just name your kid "Coco" or "Suger" or something like that? This name makes me think of those girls in miniskirts with annoying little voices that can't even read.

I thought this was a cool name when I was, like, twelve. Now it just strikes me as the type of name you give your daughter when you have no higher aspirations for her than a stripper or perpetual resident of the trailer park. Just about sums up everything that goes wrong when you name or even nickname your daughter Candy.

It reminds me of some-one who is very sweet! However, it is often used as a stage name by people in the uhhh, "sex" industry and that just ruins for people.

This name makes me want to puke. If I ever had a daughter, I would NOT EVER name her Candy. It's even worse than "Kay" or "Chloe".

I beg of you, do not name your child Candy.
Not only does it sound undignified, it has such a stigma attached to it; see above! People can only see Candy on a stripper, or a pole dancer.

This is a trashy name that won't be taken seriously outside the porn industry.

No way! This name sounds like a trashy stripper or porn star name. It also makes the bearer look dumb, especially when spelled Candi, Kandi, Candee, or Kandee.
