Use whatever you like. It's your story. For you. It really doesn't matter what names you use. So do what you want. If you are writing a contemporary story and are focused on realism, maybe avoid it. However, if you are writing dystopian, sci-fi, fantasy, the like, go for it. I think Kandakiya would work better than Candace in those genres, but it also could depend on what the other names are in your story.
