Re: Candace-Candice

I like the look of Candace better. It looks less like a word and more like a name, somehow.
I think the nn Candy works on a child or adult and is not tacky or stripperish.
It sort of seems like it could be, on paper - it's a name an author might pick for a trashy character. But in real life, Candy is just a name, and it's a fairly nice one. It's sort of like Nick for Nicholas - you'd have to have a pretty bizarre mind to think of a nick when you met a Nick, unless he had a nick-shaped scar on his face or something. I think the same goes for Candy. Unless Candy herself seems to be a stripperish character - then people would be more likely to make a connection with the word and it would seem tacky.
