I really dislike it at a full name. I like it as a nn for Jason.
As a full name it just sounds really, really young to me. A preteen with a skateboard or something is what comes to mind...I have a very hard time picturing an adult with the name, and I knew a Jace in university. I always felt like he didn't have a 'real' name.
I went to school with a guy named Garrett Jace and he used to go by Jace, however now that he is older he prefers Garrett. I think of it as a nn personally.
I love the name Jace! I disagree that it sounds incomplete or that it won't age well.
As for the Teen Mom reference, I really think that's nonsense. I would never have known there was a child named Jace on that show, but for this board. While it might be a popular show on MTV, its not as widely watched as people on this board seem to think it is.
A girl I know named her son Kyler Jace. The first time I heard it, I honestly thought both names were made up.
Like PPs mentioned, Jace does sound like more of a nickname to me. Seems very incomplete, as if it got chopped off from the rest of the name or something. If you like Jace, why not Jason?

I have to agree, it just sounds like an incomplete name. I guess growing up in the decade of "JASON", Jace just sounds like I should wait for the "-son" ending.
I have a friend who named her DS Jace. It's not my favorite but he's a cutie. I've never seen Teen Mom 2, so I don't have that association. Overall it's not awful but it definantly wouldn't be on my list.
I'm not a huge fan. Most of the people I associate the name with are of low socioeonomic status. So i'm not a fan. sorry. But I appreciate that you don't want to spell it Jayce.

This. I don't hate it either but I really dislike it.

Sorry.
I tend to rule out names that appear on Toddlers and Tiaras and (applicable here) Teen Mom. Sorry!
Jason is a wonderful name.
Unfortunately, this reminds me of the baby on Teen Mom (and his really messed up mom). What about going with Jason, but calling him Jace?
