Candy no no no! Candy is food. How is Candy a name? When I hear “Candy” as a given name, I think of a immature girl with pink or blond hair who is a porn star or stripper. Candy, along with Candi, are both terrible names and should never be used. Candice isn’t too bad compared to Candy. Give your child a real name, or they probably won’t get very far in life.

If we're intelligent beings, then we can remove any ignorant stereotypes some people are associating, and recognise Candy is a pretty name. Still, in English, it and its variations are too informal as a legal name, but can work well as a short form of the formal name, or a double name - short form of the formal name with a middle name such as Candy Lee, Candy-Rae, Candy-rose, etc. As a given or middle name, a suitable option is "Chandi" (or Khandi) - a formal name, most popular in India that means fierce goddess in Sanskrit.
Variety is the spice of life and if so desired and within reason, it's perfectly okay to be creative and use, or substitute the original short form Candy for one of its many variations with its many possibilities as a formal name that work just as well. Every name in existence is a creation and authors have often themselves, long since been creating names that the public has adopted, and with English being a composite language, there's much room for spelling variations of personal names.
Other decent variations for Candy (same pronunciation), that can also be substituted with the letter K: Candi, Candea, Candie, Candey, Candye, Chandi.
Other attractive options of the formal names Candace and Candice (same/similar pronunciation) that can also be substituted with the letter K, or as with Sanskrit "Chandi", the letters Ch/Kh, making its orthography correct: Candas, Candes, Candis, Candys, Candess, Candiss, Candyss, Candase, Candise, Candyce, Candyse, Candesse, Candisse, Candysse.

The name Candy (and Caddy) originated from, and has been used as a diminutive of Candace since the 17th century, and later also its French version Candice when it was adopted in the 20th century. It's an attractive name that ages well, yet too informal as a given name. The bearer can wear it well and be taken seriously if as a short form of its formal name, or as a double name from a short form of the formal name with the middle name. Not recommended as a legal name.

I’m from China and this name is really popular, many girls chose this as their English name because they want to be sweet just like a Candy. I like the full form Candace but Candy is too old-fashioned and just way too "trashy" (no offense to anyone who was named or goes by "Candy"). It was the name of a tropical storm in 1968 that made landfall in Texas.

Sorry, but I strongly agree with all those who dislike this name. I didn't even realize it until I had a coworker of this name and I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. Usually don't care that much, but it just doesn't sound proper for a respectable grown woman.

I am a Candy and for a long time I really did not like my name. I am not a Candi or a Candace it is Candy. And all of the comments about it sounds 'ditzy' or like a 'floozy's' or a 'hooker' name had a negative impression on me as a child. I tried to go by some other name but it never worked. Over the years I have gotten used to it and even like it now. I realized that it was just people's ignorance that made me feel bad about my name, my mom used to tell me I got my name because I am sweet, and over the years I have learned to tune out all of the negative comments and the 'floozy' insinuations. So all of you Candy haters can just continue to be jealous, my mom was right, I am sweet!

This name makes me think of a bleached blonde, orange-skinned bimbo who wears revealing clothing, dates multiple guys at once, and weighs less than a 5-year-old.

I am surprised no one mentioned Carole Gene "Candy" Spelling (born 1945). She's well over 50 now and still uses it. I associate the name with her.

I love the sound of "Candy" as a name, and have no idea how it's supposed to sound trashy or stripperish or stupid... other than that one might assume the parents were attempting to be "cutesy" or something, but even then, it really doesn't sound overly frilly or saccharine (ironically.) The only association I have with the name is actually "hippie," due to the Candy Warren girl from "The Tale of Locker 22" from "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" One of those things that just sticks with you forever, and that's what I hear/think of when considering the name. I even prefer it to Candace, although I'd definitely use it as a nickname for that more formal name, rather than on its own.

I love this name, and would totally name my daughter it, but since so many women with this name get rude comments about how stripperish/trashy it sounds, I think she'd resent me for it.

Wow. How incredibly ignorant. My name happens to be Candy. While I do get the occasional jerk who likes to take a cheap shot about my name, it just highlights how little class they have. I love my name, and those who knocked it calling it trashy and such need to get over yourselves. If you are going to jump to conclusions over someone's name, well, you're probably not worth my time anyway.

What a sad society we live in when the automatic reaction to a name like Candy is that it is for strippers, hookers, or "trashy" people. Nonsense.

Thank you "linden-tree-murmur" for your comment.
My formal name is Candace, however, I prefer to be called Candy. A majority of these comments are extremely offensive... sad how judgmental people are. Sorry to disappoint most of you but I am not, nor ever have been a stripper, pole dancer, porn star. Etc. I am a beautiful sister, mother and daughter to the parents who named me.

Whenever I find names like this (Word names) I ALWAYS see people complaining about how it's "Trashy" and a "Porn star" name. People are so ridiculous. I think the name is cute and very sweet. I have a friend who goes by Candy but her name is Candace. :)

No way! This name sounds like a trashy stripper or porn star name. It also makes the bearer look dumb, especially when spelled Candi, Kandi, Candee, or Kandee.

I beg of you, do not name your child Candy.
Not only does it sound undignified, it has such a stigma attached to it; see above! People can only see Candy on a stripper, or a pole dancer.

It reminds me of some-one who is very sweet! However, it is often used as a stage name by people in the uhhh, "sex" industry and that just ruins for people.

I thought this was a cool name when I was, like, twelve. Now it just strikes me as the type of name you give your daughter when you have no higher aspirations for her than a stripper or perpetual resident of the trailer park. Just about sums up everything that goes wrong when you name or even nickname your daughter Candy.

How about just name your kid "Coco" or "Suger" or something like that? This name makes me think of those girls in miniskirts with annoying little voices that can't even read.

This would be a cute nickname for a friend of a relative, but in my opinion it's very stripper sounding. You know, because strippers seem to always pick names after foods for some reason.

The first Candy I ever knew was not a person, but a dog. A very old, three-legged dog my grandparents had. I can't recall much about her except that she was middle-sized and black. Candy's kind of cute, but not very grown-up sounding. I just can't imagine a Judge Candy Cooper, whereas I have no trouble envisioning a Judge Candace Cooper.

I think that Candy is a very cute name. You are just all ignorant, who could say that the name only fits a bimbo, I mean not all Candy's are stupid blondes. You make all people feel bad if they have the name and they are blondes. I mean not all blondes are bimbos! So Candy is not a bimbo name!

Funny story - I knew a woman with the surname Cotton. Her parents almost named her Candy, but didn't. She was very grateful.

It sounds too ditzy to me, it sounds like a floozy's name (my apologies). "Candy"/"Candi" is undignified. "Candace" is a lovely name; use it.
