I know a Stacy who is really nice, but it's one of those names which is kind of dated.
A name should be a title one would present in a formal setting. It can be shortened during childhood, but it should be an adult's name. An adult should not have to live with a cute name only appropriate for a popular eight year old. |

I'm a fan of this too and like all the names mentioned here (except Stephanie), but Stacy just doesn't do it for me. I really like Allison and Lauren. I think I'm just not a -y or -ie ending fan. |

| How about Sherry? She is Stacy's friend. |

Fwiw, I was the one who made the biggest snob comment. One of the absolute most adorable and sweet people I know also has this name. But the snob ruins it.
And I frankly just don't like this name or think it should make a comeback. |

Love it totally killer! Immediately will make people think of Albert Anastasia who was a killer or Anastasia Romanov who was killed. Plus it sounds like a title! |

Nobody will think of Albert Anastasia b/c no one has ever heard of him. However, they might think of Anastasia from Fifty Shades of Grey or Anastasia from the Disney movie. But, who cares? It's a beautiful name! Plus, if your DD doesn't like Stacy, she has lots of other choices (Anastasia, Ana, Stasia, etc.) |

Isn't she Stacy's mom? Or maybe her young-ish aunt? How about a re-mix . . . Stacy's aunt's got it goin' on . . . . |

I wanted to be called Sherrie when I was in elementary school due to Steve Perry's "Oh Sherrie" song. Such a good '80s tune  Yes, I am old.

Yes, I'm also from the Stacy generation (just barely), but Stacy is a name I never liked. All of the Stacys I've met have been perfectly nice, though! How about Tracy? (Please don't ask me to explain why I don't like Stacy but think Tracy is fine, because I can't.) Or you could be literary and use Tacy as a nickname for Anastasia. Maybe there would be a little girl with the nickname of Betsy who lived across the street.

If you like Stacey, go with Stacey! Who cares what everyone else things? My only thing: spell is correctly. Don't get cute with spelling because your child will deal with that for the REST OF THEIR LIFE. Stacey.
