Candice - honest impressions

[challengeyourreality]

What does the name Candice suggest about a child's background/parents?

Wow some very confronting replies. Thank you for your honesty. It's been helpful!

It reminds me of a kids American cartoon, seems a perfectly pleasant American name.

I really don't like it. I think it has some negative connotations . Sorry OP.

Candace is better.

I feel like she would be judged before she was met into later ages unfortunately, Sorry x

Candice from Coronation Street.

Never met one but think it’s a popular stripper name in the US.

I think of the dinner lady from Waterloo Road.

I quite like Candice as a name based on the sound, but would hate Candy as a nickname so would never use it.

It's spelt Candace, surely?

I think it's quite nice, actually, but agree with others that Candy is a sickly (but inevitable) NN

Parents: possibly American?

Name: bit sickly and naff. But not as bad as Satan.

The name makes me picture a breakfast TV weather presenter, or a QVC saleswoman. Perky and bit annoying. I'm not sure I'd make any assumptions about Candice's parents.

Stripper's name

Yeah I thought Candice from Corrie, and she was a bimbo hairdresser from what I remember...

Honestly, very 90s and very American.

Stripper. Try hard. And Algren with others I guess the only way to say it is chav.

It’s popular in South Africa. I have a friend called Candice (pronounced CAN-diss rather than can-DEES) and she’s ace so it now has v positive associations for me!

Awful name

Are you talking about class? I think it’s quite a classless name. I don’t really like it but it doesn’t say one thing or the other to me.

American cheerleader

@AverageMummy omg, its just a name lady, get a life and stop overreacting to it just because you don't like it.

Candice is okay..
I would not use Candice due to me not liking the nick name, Candy.

@CosyBlueLurker , what prompted you to comment on a thread last posted on nearly 7 years ago?

I immediately thought either Candida, which has its obvious problems, or American - I think because of Candice Bushnell. For some reason it also makes me think of a clown.

It isn't awful though, if you say and think about how it sounds.

Very generally speaking, I am a fan of very staid names and feel that trying to find something unique or very unusual is not that great a look. It always suggests to me the parents expect exceptions to be made for their child. Candice, I guess, does at least have a track history of usage.

What about Camilla or Angelica?

@Calliopespa , the writer is Candace Bushnell, and the thread is from June 2019.

Why do people jump on to say old thread?

@Calliopespa, Why do people jump on to say old thread? Because you suggested other names (What about Camilla or Angelica?).
