Jace vs Jase spelling

How would you spell it?
Thanks

I had an ex who spelled it Jais. His mom found it in the phone book, and their family was out of nick names for 'James.'

....Just throwing this out there.

16 and pregnant, is all I think of when I hear the name Jace.

I love the name Jace, but my husband wasn't a fan.

NMS (all I can think of is 16 and pregnant too!) but if I had to choose one it would be Jace over Jase.

Jason.

I don't care for it, but I'm not a fan of nicknames over full names. That's just my style.

I'd name Jason and then nickname Jase.

I feel this way but I really, really, strongly dislike the nickname as a name.

I can't pick either. Why don't you name your son something professional sounding that will work on a business card, a CV, etc.

Jason
Jackson

Like I posted earlier, my ex's name was Jais short for James IV which he never used.

He is an extremely successful professional businessman, with business cards and all. His name never 'held him back' or prevented him from excelling professionally.

Just sayin'.

I'm glad he was able to overcome the obstacle of having that name. Good for him!

...ok?

Well he is the exception and not the rule. People with spechul spellings of names face more discrimination and issues at higher levels. Your example is an n=1.

Ok. Also, if James was his full name that is what would be on job applications, diplomas, etc. so that probably helps. I have met people nicknamed Fish or Tank that have jobs...but they don't put that on their applications. So I guess I am saying what is your point?

Lol.

My intention was to give feedback to the OP.

It is my opinion. That's all

To build on this, I'm sure he had James Lastname IV on his resume. Not Jais Lastname.

mrsclark731 · December 2014

Unless you saw his license or diploma you'd never know his real name. Resume, business cards.... He went by Jais.

Thanks ladies

Jason is not an option as I have a cousin with that name. He's a first cousin so I don't like the idea having 2 Jason's. As far as Teen Mom I've seen a few episodes but made no connection to the name. Thanks again

toadandbug12 · December 2014

Sad to say I only think about Teen Mom too. I like "Jason" with the nickname much better.

CogDis · December 2014

I'm someone with close to a nickname for my "real name" (it is the shortened version of a longer name) and I can assure you that I hate it! If I didn't have good self control it probably would have held me back in professional situations (one has to learn to master their frustrations about their names being misunderstood constantly).

Please for the love of your child name him a real name and by all means call him by his nickname. Allow him to decide if he thinks it is "cool" or not by shortening it himself when he gets older.

I like Jayse to me it sounds more like the name, but I have a nephew named Jace

My cousin spelled her sons name Jayce. I love this kid but I prefer to call him J.

Not my cup of tea, but Jace if you must.

According to the SSA, in 2013 Jace was the 66th most popular name beating out Jason which was 79. I can see how Jace could be a nickname for Jason, but I've never really thought of it as such. The spelling Jase is at 89.

FlutterOfYoshis · December 2014

I like the name Jace, but like some others here I'd probably prefer using it as a nickname for something else. There is a character in a popular YA book (I teach high school kids :P) that goes by Jace as a nickname from his initials JC for Jonathan Christopher. Just throwing it out there, since of course it's ultimately up to you.
