Baby Name of the Week: Jace
November 7, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (7)
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.
My friend named her little boy Jace (like chase). I had never heard of it before her
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
it sounds like jay-z to me.
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.
