Re: Candace-Candice
I really, really like Candace (prefer that spelling but it doesn't matter that much) and think it's grown-up and sophisticated. But I really hate the nn Candy. It sounds stripperesque, in a very 1960s or 70s way. It's like a third-rate pulp writer has a stripper character and needs to come up with a name for her, fast, and Candy just seems the most likely one to be chosen. It's cheap, in other words.Plus, my aunt and uncle used to have a big three-legged dog named Candy.I have known several Candys, most of whom were Candaces, (one was Candisha) but until very recently have never met a Candace who went by the full name.I think, therefore I judge.
