Comments for the name Lacey

I love this name! It's very feminine, (doesn't strike me as a masculine name.) My impression: it's very lady-like, pretty, fairy-like, elegant and not so overly used.

In Cormac McCarthy's book All the Pretty Horses, one of the main (male) characters is a ranchman named Lacey Rawlins.

Famous bearer: actress Lacey Chabert. Perhaps most known as character "Claudia Salinger", of the TV series "Party Of Five".

My name is Lacey. I think it's a nice name but I don't like being called it!

Lacey Mosley is the lead singer of Flyleaf, a band from Temple, Texas.

Lacey means "cheerful". That's cool.

I read somewhere that this is a French variant form of Larissa meaning "cheerful"?

Extremely beautiful name. The "lace" sound makes it sound elegant. If I had a daughter I would certainly consider this name.

Also spelled Lacee, Lacie and Laycee.

I just love this name, it is so pretty and delicate. I heard it once on a little girl about 13 years ago but never again.

Lacey has been on the top 1000 list since the late 1960's with its peak year being the 1980's.

I'm writing a story about a girl named Lacey. I think it's a very nice name.

I like this name, it's very cute.

It is a tad too whimsical for my taste.

Lacey Chabert is also Gretchen Weiners in the movie Mean Girls.

Lacey has always seemed "forever little girl" and kind of prissy to me.

I cannot imagine a boy with this name, but I LOVE it as a girl name!

There was Lacey Peterson, who went missing and was found dead along with her unborn child. Her husband was given the death sentence.

When you're in primary school you get called lazy! But I still like it! It's LAYCEEE not LAYZEE.

Cute name.

Worse than Tracey! I think this sounds trashy. To each his own.

My cousin is named Annalace, as in Queen Anne's Lace. I think it's an interesting alternative if you like this name because of the "lace" bit.

I think this is a cute name. On the one hand it does sound soft and frilly and maybe too childish for an adult, but then the fact that it is an old surname gives it more strength.

Lacey is a cute soft name. I think of a sweet girl when I think of that name. Maybe because it's my sister's name. I love that name. It fits her very well.

Hmm. Although it's true it's sweet and cute I just think it sounds prissy. It's probably because I knew a girl in my dance class named Lacey who was prissy and rude, so don't take offense. Besides that, I also can't imagine a strong, bold woman being named Lacey. It might be good for a fairy or in a story, though.

Princess Lacey is a princess in "Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses".

Besides Casey, I don't think a boy should be named anything with -asey, -acey, or -aycee on the end. Too prissy for a boy.

Lacey Turner is an actress who has played Stacey in EastEnders (British TV soap) since 2004.

There is a female wrestler named Lacey who is affiliated with Ring of Honor and SHIMMER.

To me, this name sounds strictly feminine, and I'd find it amusing if a guy was named Lacey. The name is admittedly very cute, but I have my doubts about how well it would suit a grown-up. It's not the most infantile name out there, but it is a bit cutesy and girly.

Lacey is too prissy to be taken seriously as a name. To me, it is the name you give a child when you aren't creative enough to think of anything better. It is an adjective for overdone clothing, not a name.

I really like this name. I think it sounds pretty & elegant. I certainly think a female would grow into the name & it would therefore suit an adult. If my next child is a girl this name is a strong contender.

It's a pretty name but only if it's short for something.

I would find it very odd to meet a male person named Lacey. Lacey clothing, Lacey Washington, Lacey as a girl's name. It's amazing how it seems the lest bit masculine.

I don't like this name because it sounds horrible. I don't like names that I think sound lacy like Lacey or Amelia.

I really like this name but I could never use it because I associate it with Lacey Peterson, a murder victim.

Despite the fact that it sounds maybe a bit too girly, unless the girl named Lacey is always in pink, I really like this name. I like most -cey names: Tracey, Stacey, and Darcey, the sound is just very soft and feminine. Lacey is best with a longer, slightly "harder" sounding names, they balance out the airy sound. But this is a difficult name to choose a middle name for, because if the name is too short, it sounds like Lacey is an adjective describing the name for example lacy Gabrielle or lacy Jennifer.

What a frivolous, stupid name. Yuck.

This was a name I liked when I was a lot younger, but now I just think it sounds kind of fluffy and insubstantial. There's also the unfortunate association with murder victim Laci Peterson.

It's also derived from the Greek name Gelasia: Meaning "prone to laughter."

Ballroom dancer Lacey Schwimmer from ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

My name is Lacey and I always liked my name while I was growing up. Now that I'm an adult, I still like it. I don't feel that my name is prissy but that could be because I'm not prissy. I like the fact that it means "cheerful" because I'm a very happy person and I love to laugh and joke around with my friends.

Meh... not good not bad. Sounds cute, but I wouldn't want to name my kid after frilly embroidery.

Why does it say this name can be used for either gender? For a girl, it's a beautiful, elegant name. For a boy, it's awful - like naming a girl Jonathon or some other masculine name.
This is one of my favourite names, and I plan on using it for a character in a story. The only drawback is that people might mispronounce it "lazy" or something similar.
