Jace

I don’t like it, but there are worse names.

Jace sounds pretty cool.

Awful.

My name is Jace. I like the name, my dad chose it because it is unique. I like it because in Turkey it means Healer. I totally disagree with other people who think it is bad. My mother wanted it to be something like Michel. I'm glad my dad chose Jace though.

I knew a freaky guy in elementary school named Jace. Maybe 2007 or 2008, and I remember thinking that he had a strange name. I don't think it was short for anything.

Jace is a handsome name :D.

Jace sounds too juvenile and trendy to me. I can't believe it's more popular than Jason...

Very trendy. Just use Jason.

I named my son Jace in 1996. It was not short for Jason or any other name. Yet he gets mad at me all the time because people ask him why he would shorten the name Jason lol.. he's even had a teacher call him (Ja`see) I guess we should be a bit more thoughtful of what we name our kids. Just wanted to share. Thanks.

Just name your kid Jason. Don't burden him with this trashy name. This is the kind of name that shallow mothers give, despite their father's objection.

I named my oldest son Jace in 2007. Was not a teen mom, was, and still am, married. It is not common in spite of the recent popularity. If you don’t like it fine, but to try to impress stereotypes to the parents is rude. I didn’t name him after any person or character in a book, tv or anything else.

His name is unique without being strange, and it fits him.

He loves his name. He has only met one other Jace in his whole life.

I like the name.

Sounds kinda punk/emo, could also be short for Jacinth.

I like Jace. It's an original nickname for Jason.

As I am named Jace I like the name for obvious reasons. But its random spike in popularity is only slightly annoying as I really liked it being uncommon, like in the 80's when I was born. But I have never been told that my name sounds incomplete, that's a new one to see. Oh and as for me personally I was named after my great uncle down to my middle and last names. No teen mom or dad here, lol.

I don't think Jace is a short name for Jason. My name is Jace. I'm popular and there is no hate on my name and I like it.

I like Jace because it is a short form of Jason. Infact, Jason seems dated in my opinion and too formal. Jace could be a good (even if informal nowadays) English variant...
Maybe in the future it will be what Jack is for John.

I love the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and agree that Jace is a wonderful name. By the way people, books are very important in life because books is how we first learned everything before technology. I also like the spelling of Jase and Jayce.

I like the sound of this name & I can see it's appeal! This is a very cool literary name!

It's just OK as a nickname for Jason. But as an independent name it is incredibly dull.

I would also like to add that the books aren't a "fad" and that I shall remember both your comment and the books for years to come just to spite you, *insert choice word here*.

Personally, I love the name Jace, and what difference does it make if you name your child after a Dickens character or a character from a modern boom? It's not as if all classic book names are good names, look at Wackford Squeers!

Let me get this straight. Jason is losing popularity in favor of Mason, yet its FIRST SYLLABLE has cracked the top 100? Sure, it's a cute nickname for Jason, but it just sounds tacky and incomplete as a legal name.

What the...? Why is this all of a sudden in the top 100? Is it because one of those horrible teen mom "stars" used it? It's an ok nickname for Jason, but it just doesn't sound right as a full name. It sounds very similar to the overly youthful and trendy "chase", which isn't a very good thing. At least it's not another -aden name. But names that have rapid surges in popularity are usually not good choices.

I'm sorry, but this isn't a name. It's just the first syllable of Jason. It even sounds incomplete. Frankly, I'm rather surprised at Jace's surge in popularity.

Horrible.
