Macy Matlock, the former best friend of Claire McKenzie in the book 'What Happened to Lani Garver'. Macy was described as being very controlling but also overly protective of Claire; she doesn't like it when people insult others over things they can't control (ex: disabilities, having a disease) but thinks its alright when its over things they can (ex: being overweight, having greasy hair).
This name isn't rare at all! It's one of the most popular names in the US.

I don't know what the unknown user above was on, saying this is one of the most common names in the US. I have never met a Macy in my whole life, but I have met a Mason. It is a nice, unique name that makes me think of a kind but independent person.

In Sarah Dessen's novel 'The Truth About Forever', Macy is the main character.
After spending too many years watching the ghastly Bold and the Beautiful in the 90s, I can't imagine this name on males. I actually can't stand the name. It sounds tacky and girly; it just doesn't sound good on a grown-up.
You hear this name a lot during the holidays. You can shop for clothes as Christmas gifts at the shopping store, and anyone who hasn't been born and raised under a rock knows about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I've never met anyone called Macy and I don't know of any famous Macy's. But "Macy Misa" is a fictional character on a Disney Channel TV show called Jonas L.A and she is played by Nicole Anderson.
I think that Macy is a very pretty name! I have never heard of it for a boy... it sounds so feminine and girly! I think that girl's names should sound girls, and boys names should sound tough (No matter the personality of the person! If a tomboy is named something really girly like Sophie, I think that makes things interesting!)
My name's Macy, and overall I haven't met another Macy with her name spelled the same. 'Macy' could also be derived from the French weapon 'mace', which I always thought was interesting. There's only two problems with the name: 1) No one knows how to spell it right or thinks I'm Lacy 2) I used to have a strong Southern accent so everyone thought my name was May-cee-ah.
Macy Gray (born 1967 in Canton, Ohio) is a famous American singer.

This name is cute! I've never actually met a Macy before. I can't choose the best way to spell it: Maci, Macey, Masey. I don't really like Macy because it's the name of a store (Although on the other hand, it would be easy to just say, 'It's Macy, like the store.') It reminds me of a birthday party for some reason..^.^
Macy is ok, even though I don't really like modern names. But only Macy, any "creative" way of spelling it like Maci, Macie, or even Macee is incorrect and completely childish.
