Baby Names

Too teen mom-ish?

So DH and I have a girl name picked out no problem...Violet Ruth. But we can't decide on a boy name for the life of us. He likes something, I don't or vice versa. We finally both liked a name tonight but didn't know if people will hear the name and say..."janelle from teen mom's kid"....

anyways we like the name Jace David. What do you think??

  • I like Jace. I wouldn't worry about the name being related to teen mom. The show won't last forever. Id say if you love it, then use it! :

    Same here.  It definitely gives off Teen Mom vibe, but regardless, I don't like the name Jace.  It just sounds unsophisticated to me (even before Teen Mom came along).

  • Could you do Jason David with Jace as a NN? I don't know much about Teen Mom, but it sounds too nicknamey to me.

  • I've never watched Teen Mom but it does come off as kind of trendy and trying too hard to be cool.  I really like Violet Ruth, though!

  • Not necessarily too "Teen Mom"ish, but since you worded it like that, it sounds too teen mom ish. As in, no one will remember the show, but it does sound like something a teen mom would name their baby. Not that that makes it bad in and of itself, but it just sounds like something a 15 year old would say is "cool"

  • I LOVE Violet Ruth.

    I have never seen Teen Mom, but I don't like Jace.  It sounds unfinished to me - like a nn for Jason when said out loud.  David is nice.

  • I really like Jace.  Full disclosure though, I actually like a lot of the Teen Mom names, I know it's not a lot of people's styles but personally I like names like that.  

    So if you're worried about it being Teen Mom-ish, yes it is, but I like it anyway.

  • All I think of is Janelle from Teen Mom's kid but I also watch a lot of Teen Mom.

    I don't really like the name Jace, but I wouldn't worry about the Teen Mom connection. 

    I think it's easy to say "I'm going to introduce my baby and people will think ________", and worry about what might be in the blank but the reality is that your son is going to be introducing himself as Jace for the next 100 years. Within three or four years, the Teen Mom thing isn't going to matter and he'll have plenty more years to enjoy his name.

    ...I hope that made sense. It did in my head.  

    Agree. I think Jace will mark him as a child of 2013, but the Teen Mom reference will fade quickly.

  • love love love Violet Ruth. 

    However, Jace is just awful, sorry.  Very Teen Mom TV show. Also screams... I am a Teen Mom naming my kid something "cool". 

    Like David.

    Much prefer PP suggestion of Jason David.

  • I know someone who recently named their son Jace, and I immediately thought of Teen Mom. I couldn't help it.

    Here's my thought on it... Violet Ruth is so sophisticated and nostalgic (love it!) that I can't help but think going with a more traditional name like Jason, Jasper, Jackson, or Jacob while using Jace as a nn is well worth considering.

  • At least go with Jason and call him Jace........I really don't like Jace on its own. Jason David is a great name to grow up with.
  • I agree that the Teen Mom reference will fade. DH is named Jason and his mom calls him Jace at times. Eh, but if that is the only name you can agree on, then go for it.

  • Jacob and Jason are nice names.

    Jace is horrible.

    Jace is pretty high on the trash/teen meter. I don't like it. I love Violet Ruth. Jace wouldn't do her brother justice.

    This. But if you really like it, maybe use it as a NN for Jason.





  •  The first thing that comes to mind for me is Duck Dynasty and Jase on there.

     Jase was on my list of boys names b/c my big brothers name is Chase and I wanted to name a son after him. So I like it.

  • Hi!

    I did not know the Teen-mom reference and neither would 99% of the population.

    Personally, I like boy names that sound very strong and masculine, Jace doesn't sound that strong to me. 

    Perhaps using it as a nickname for Jason?

    In the end, do it if you love it!

  • Even if the reference to Teen Mom fades, it still sounds like a name a teen mom would choose to me. 

    As a nickname for a longer name (Jason etc) it's fine.

  • I have nothing against the "teen mom names" but I honestly hear Jace and think low socioeconomic status. Can't pin point why.
  • I actually like the name Jace. I did not think of teen mom at all.

  • I have a pretty classic naming style and I don't think Jace is trendy/trashy. I don't watch teen mom though. Actually the first thing that popped in my mind for the name Jace is the Duck Dynasty guy on the A&E channel. DH and I LOVE that show.

  • Love Violet Ruth. Beautiful and classy. 

    Not a fan of Jace. I like the PPs suggestion of Jason with Jace as a nn. Or switching it up and doing David Jace.

  • Yup, I definitely think of Teen Mom. Violet Ruth is awesome, so I think you can do much better than Jace!
