I really like the name Jacy for a girl. It sounds like Macy with a J. What do you think? My partner says it sounds too much like initials J.C and that the child might be called jackie sometimes which would annoy him. If you have any other suggestions for uniquely pretty names please let me know. Thanks!

I'm with your husband on this one. I know a little girl named Jacie. And everyone pronounces her name like the initials. It really bothered me. I couldn't tell if Jacie's parents noticed or not. Likely they didn't notice because they like the name so much.
I like the name. I think you might run the risk of someone pronouncing it differently than you do, but listen: My dd is 2.5 yo and my mom still pronounces her name "Bale-ee" with a very strong emphasis on "Bale" Almost like you would say Pale.
I also like Laci and Kaci (Casey).
Hth,

I kind of like Jaci, spelled like that. I never really thought of the initial J.C. comparison before. I guess some people could see that as Jackie, I don't know.
would he go for Jocelyn, nickname Jocie - (pronounced Joss-ee)? Jocelyn's one of my favorite names and you don't hear it very much.
good luck
I too like the Jacey. I just don't see it becoming J.C. or Jackie. However, I'm such a ridiculous name buff that I actually have a "Jacey" list. Here are the others that are in the same "vein" as Jacey in my opinion. Best wishes and hope this helps! Ginger
Dacey (alone or could be nn for Candace), Jolie, Nealy, Evie, Evvy, Neve (neeva, neeve or nevvy), Rainey, Chloe, Remy (rimmy), Ari, Ansley, Avery, Mori, Lissie, Dorie, Kenzie, Briony, Devony, Delaney
