Jace
Hi there! How do you pronounce Jace? (b)I always thought it is pronounced like Chase.
My son Julian has a boy in his class with this name but
he calles him Jake.Are both pronounciations ok or just somebody tried to be
different? Thank you

I always thought it was like Chase too (or Ace with a J or the first part of Jason).
Since a lot of C names get replaced with a K (Kameron, Konnor, Khloe, etc), I think that is what the parents were trying to accomplish. I don't think it works though and is going to cause a lot of confusion as Jace is getting more popular.

I'd pronounce it like Chase.

I would pronounce it like Chase as well. I've never heard it pronounced like Jake, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to spell it differently because everyone is just going to pronounce it "wrong" all the time.

I pronounce this as Jay-s, like the beginning of Jason. I like this name :)

Like Chase

I would prn it JAYS. But I've also heard it pronounced like Jacie. Pronouncing it like Jake seems....super weird.

Ehhh...Jace pronounced like Jake does not look right to me at all. It doesn't even make sense to me. A c and a e next to each other does not make a "ka" sound. When an e is following it, the letter c is interchangable with the letter s, not k. I pronounce Jace like Chase.

Err well, in English, Jace pronounced as Jake doesn't make any sense. At all. When a "c" comes before an "e", it becomes soft (ex. cell, face, lace, place etc.). I'm sorry, but it sounds really uneducated to me. I definitely pronounce it like Chase.

Sounds like a card that was banned in Magic: The Gathering. I also know a Jace.

I've always thought it was JAYS (rhyming with Chase). I've never heard it pronounced like Jake before, but I guess it's possible... I can't say I like that pronunciation though.
I suppose Jake could also be a nickname for Jace, even if Jace itself was pronounced like Chase. But that's just a random possibility.
