My Grandfather, who died when my dad was 13 was French and his name was Jacques. I was the first grandchild and therefore I was named Jacqui in honor of him. I love my name.

Sorry, but this name looks like an ugly misspelling of Jackie.

I think it would make more sense to use this Jacqui spelling as a nickname for Jacqueline. I don't understand why people use spellings like Jackie, Jacki and (heaven forbid) Jakki, when there is no "k" in the original name.

This spelling actually makes more sense if your name is spelled Jacqueline. But I don't really like Jacqui or Jacqueline. Too harsh and just has too many elements. I mean a Ja- sound, a qui, and an eline. Too much!

No offence to anyone, but I really don't like the name Jacqui. When I hear this name I think of my grandparents old dog! Sorry it's just my opinion!

I kinda like diminutives of names that don't change much to the spellings of their full versions.
By the way in the USA, the spelling of Jacquie is more popular than the spelling of Jacqui.
