I like Cadence very much.
I also like Candace which is more common.
Good Luck!!

Cadence is also a musical term, meaning a pause, or hesitation that marks the end of a phrase or section of music (with this meaning, it's easy to see how the term was applied to military running songs). If you're looking specifically for a musical name, I can think of many more that have more beautiful meanings than that -- harmony, melody, aria, adagio, cantata, etc.
Not trying to offend anyone who likes this word as a name. I just wanted to point it out to those who may be unaware of its meaning.

I think the name is okay. I don't love it, but I certainly don't hate it!!! I don't know why, but in a way, I think I prefer Cadenza. (Cah-DEN-za) And I don't know why that is, b/c I think it has a bit of a "harsher" sound than Cadence does. I guess I like that Cadenza ends in "a", lol.
Well, best of luck to you, and if you like Cadence, go for it! It's cute! :-)
I just wanted to say that I was in the military but I still like the name Cadence very much.
The ones I was told by military friends/relatives may not even be used in the military these days, probably more Vietnam era when there were fewer women enlisted. Or maybe they were never official, but rather more naughty, unofficial versions. The ones I heard were pretty raunchy, and degrading of women, etc., and that has always stayed in my mind, and colored my impressions of the name. If you go to Google and type in "offensive cadences" and click around on the top links that come up, you'll see ones similar to what I heard.
So while I still wouldn't use the name myself, for that reason alone, if others without that association like the name, that's their opinion and they're entitled to it just as I am to mine!

I'm sorry, I was not meaning to come off as harsh in my post, that was not my intent.
So I wouldn't do it for my kid, but I can't say it would bother me to hear it on another person! I do think the nn Cadie is cute.
