Is Pacey a real name? ( I can't seem to find a source outside of Dawson's Creek)

I like it for a first name, OP. Plus I don’t think Dawson’s Creek is going to be a show that our kids will know - it just doesn’t have legs to span a generation.

You infidel. How could you say such a thing.

OP, it's very Dawson's Creek. Do with that what you will but we all know where you got the name.

It's a dog or horse name in my experience.

I like Pacey. You could also name him Patrick (or any P name) and just use Pacey as a nickname.

Most people here only like names like William and Catherine. So if you like it, it’s not a bad name, just go with it.

Kids are currently being named Indigo, Slater, Bowen, and Gertrude (all names of kids in my area), so I'd say go for whatever sounds good to you and works with your surname. We are no longer in the Jennifer or Adam era of child naming!

And Penelope! I seriously dont get the current popularity for that one.
