DH really likes the name Trace. If I suggest something else he goes back to, "how about Trace?" I can possibly live with Trace Jacob, TJ, but am not sure if I really like it. What's your opinion?
IMO depends on where you live... here in NJ it wouldn't fly - but in the south i think it would be nice. The only Trace I have ever heard of is Trace Atkins- so i automatically think of country music (which i like) but is not common here in NJ :0)
I thought of the country singer too when I saw your post.
Personally, I don't like Trace, but love Jacob. I do like TJ for a nn.

I like the name Trace but I think Trace is often a nickname for a boy with the same name as his grandfather and father. Ex: Jacob John Doe the third, but everyone would call him Trace. I can think of two guys off the top of my head that go by Trace but it is really just a nickname.
Re: Trace Jacob
I went to camp in h.s. and my counselor's name was Trace. He was a hottie.
I didn't care that his name was different.
