The name Jace can be for a girl or a boy and there are different ways to pronounce it. Some moms go with the one syllable Jace, rhymes with Chase, while others go with two syllables -- so it sounds like Jay-see.

The pronounciation Jay-see is mostly heard for girls.

There are quite a few ways to spell the name.

The name Jace is said to mean healer.

For a boy, spellings include Jace, Jase, and Jayce.

For girls, spellings include Jayce, Jayse, Jacy, Jacey, Jaycee, Jacee, and Jaicee.

CafeMom kaymarie1473 has a son named Jace and she wondered how others moms spelled and pronounced the name. The few that responded felt that Jace, rhymes with Chase, felt more like a boy's name.

In some ways, Jace, either for a boy or girl, feels like a nickname for a Jason or Jacinda. And I'm a huge fan of names like that -- something about them are sweet, a little unexpected, and not too different, but not too common.

Have you considered the names Jace or Jaycee for your son or daughter?

And to add, I asked some of my friends on here which spelling they liked better. They helped me agree on Jace, since Jase made it look like a nickname for jason. :)

Not a fan.  It seems incomplete, like it needs to either be Jason or Jaycee.

Then only Jace I knew was certainly not a healer.. he was an immature kid who never brushed his teeth enough and slept on his grandmas couch. Yuck. I hope a whole generation of Jace's grow up amazing to wipe out the previous one lol

I am going to name my first Jace if it's a boy! My husband'sname is Jackson and his brother's name is Jess, so I think it will fit well.
