The name Jace can be for a girl or a boy and there are different ways to pronounce it. Some moms go with the one syllable Jace, rhymes with Chase, while others go with two syllables -- so it sounds like Jay-see.
The pronounciation Jay-see is mostly heard for girls.
There are quite a few ways to spell the name.
The name Jace is said to mean healer.
For a boy, spellings include Jace, Jase, and Jayce.
For girls, spellings include Jayce, Jayse, Jacy, Jacey, Jaycee, Jacee, and Jaicee.
CafeMom kaymarie1473 has a son named Jace and she wondered how others moms spelled and pronounced the name. The few that responded felt that Jace, rhymes with Chase, felt more like a boy's name.
In some ways, Jace, either for a boy or girl, feels like a nickname for a Jason or Jacinda. And I'm a huge fan of names like that -- something about them are sweet, a little unexpected, and not too different, but not too common.
Have you considered the names Jace or Jaycee for your son or daughter?

How funny! I'm naming my little boy Jace Tristan. He's due March 3rd :D
And to add, I asked some of my friends on here which spelling they liked better. They helped me agree on Jace, since Jase made it look like a nickname for jason. :)
Not a fan. It seems incomplete, like it needs to either be Jason or Jaycee.
My friend named her little boy Jace (like chase). I had never heard of it before her
Then only Jace I knew was certainly not a healer.. he was an immature kid who never brushed his teeth enough and slept on his grandmas couch. Yuck. I hope a whole generation of Jace's grow up amazing to wipe out the previous one lol
it sounds like jay-z to me.
I am going to name my first Jace if it's a boy! My husband'sname is Jackson and his brother's name is Jess, so I think it will fit well.
I am expecting a little girl April 26th and plan on giving her the middle name Jace (the one that sounds like Chase).
I have always heard Jace (like Chase) as a boy name, along with that spelling. Jaycee I have seen for a girl, but only once or twice, but I really like it. My son's middle name is Jayce and is a variation of Jason after his uncle.
