You probably know Candy is a nickname for Candace. I think Candace is a nice name.

And although I hear the connection, candy is an innocent fun treat, so I don’t have much of a problem with kids being called “Candy.”

Sort of like rainbows and the word gay, you know, why give liberals ownership? Keep “Candy” innocent.

Candace is a lovely name. Candy on a birth cert is a bit off.

In my first real job, one of the other young women had a sister who had named her little girl "Harla". One of the other people working there said to me, "isn't that a pretty name." To which I emphatically replied, "NO".

That was my beginning of people naming their poor children with horrible monikers. I can only imagine what kind of ribbing she took in high school.

Candace is a Biblical name—see Acts 8.27 (queen of Ethiopia).
