Is Ace too masculine for a girl's name?

I actually quite like this name for a girl and I think that it could be quite badass and cool however I am not sure whether it might be too much of a boy’s name. It was inspired by the 7th doctor’s companion in doctor who who was an awesome character.
what are your opinions?

Personally I’m not a fan of [name]Ace[/name] for a boy or girl. I would never use it as a first, but perhaps it could work as a spunky middle with a more feminine first name?

I don’t really care for it on either gender. It’s a bit nicknamey. I think of fast-talking newspaper reports from old screw ball comedies.
“Get on the story, [name]Ace[/name]!”
“You got it, [name]Smitty[/name]!”

Yea its a bit too masculine for a girl. [name]Ace[/name] is for me all boy

Yes. I don’t like for either gender. Too nicknamey.

I too feel as though [name]Ace[/name] is a boys name and is too nickname for me. Also [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] has just named her son [name]Ace[/name] [name]Knute[/name], so that just makes it all the more ‘boyish’ to me

Honestly, no. I would just think you were a [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] over the top #1 fan.

I think it’s fine as a nickname for either gender, but as a given name, it lacks substance to me.

I could see it working as a nickname for [name]Acacia[/name].

Yes, I think it is too masculine.
[name]Love[/name] Maggiemary’s suggestion as a nn for [name]Acacia[/name]

[name]Ace[/name] could work as a nickname for something like [name]Acacia[/name] (mentioned above) but it’s way too masculine to use as a given name on a girl.

It’s great as an initials nn (e.g., [name]Allegra[/name] [name]Calista[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] surname).

I’ve seen [name]Ace[/name] used as a nickname for [name]Aleksandr[/name]/[name]Alexander[/name] semi-frequently, and would be plausible for [name]Alastair[/name] - I could see it working for [name]Alexa[/name]/[name]Alexandra[/name]/[name]Alexandrina[/name] and [name]Alastriona[/name].

[name]Ace[/name] is not okay for a girl or a boy([name]IMO[/name]). It might make a cute name for a dog or cat though!

I think that was the name of the bad guy in “Stand By Me.” I don’t like it for either gender. I like tom-boy girl names (paired with a feminine middle name), but this one is not my favorite. [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Alex[/name], [name]Fallon[/name], Romily, [name]Arden[/name], [name]Josie[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Fern[/name], [name]Wren[/name], [name]Story[/name], [name]Billie[/name], [name]Lark[/name], [name]Rory[/name], [name]Kat[/name], [name]Scout[/name], [name]Sadie[/name], [name]Harper[/name].

I prefer it as a nickname for either gender. I believe the [name]Doctor[/name] Who character [name]Ace[/name]'s given name was actually [name]Dorothy[/name]. Plus the prominence of it being used on boys by celebrities ([name]Jessica[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] being the most recent) means it would be seen as masculine as a given name.

Something like [name]Grace[/name], [name]Macy[/name], [name]Casey[/name] all have the -ace- sound in them, or an AC- (or [name]ACE[/name]- if you’re into double middles) could work. Or you could just use it as a casual, unrelated nickname - like [name]Scout[/name] in TKAM, which had nothing to do with her given name in any way.

She would be teased unmercifully.

I’m actually a big fan of unisex names but I think [name]Ace[/name] may be difficult as a given name for a little girl. I do however think that [name]Ace[/name] could be an awesome nn for a girl with any name. I think it’s one of those nn that can be completely unrelated to the actual name and still function very well. I also like the suggestion of the first initials spelling out [name]ACE[/name].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Ace[/name_m]. I definitely want to use it somewhere for our baby in Feb. We’ve been thinking of [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_m]Ace[/name_m]. It has personal meaning for us. I also love its meaning and good luck charms. What’s not to like!

I think it is a little bit too masculine for a first name and it could be harsh to deal with, especially in high school where kids can be mean. But, I think it is definitely fine in the middle spot or as a nickname. You could use A, C and E names for initials or maybe other name that can be shortened to [name_m]Ace[/name_m].

I know of a lovely young lady that goes by [name_m]Ace[/name_m], which are the initials of her three given names. Perhaps if you have hesitations of using just [name_m]Ace[/name_m], you could do something similar?
Eg:
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] [name_f]Erin[/name_f] or something as such?
