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??
Re: Too teen mom-ish?
I like David but I don't like Jace.

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).

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.

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

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.

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.
This and not everyone watched teen mom either
This all the way.
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.
Jacob and Jason are nice names.
Jace is horrible.
Sorry... Go Fish.
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.
Mhmmm. How 'bout Chase instead of Jace?
after anovulatory diagnosis and TTC for 1 1/2yrs with several medicated cycles and one chemical pregnancy, we have our first bundle of joy!
IT'S A GIRL!

I don't take one single minute for granted.
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.
