   I know a Tracy, but it’s spelled Trasea. I think her spelling is pretty, but most of her teachers would call her Theresa on the first day of school. I like the name spelled both ways, but I wouldn’t give a child a name that’s confusing to pronounce.

   My mom grew up with twins named Tracy and Stacy — Tracy was a boy and Stacy was a girl. They’re both legitimately unisex names, but completely male in my mind.

     I love Tracy on a boy. But wow – I wonder how the twins felt about their rhyming names!

   Tracy, on a girl feels dated and musty, but on a boy it could be quite dashing!

   I’m always delighted to meet a male Tracy — mainly because I find them to be rather scarce — but this is one of those unisex names that seem unappealing to me on both girls and boys. I met a rather ancient Tracy yesterday, and the name seemed rather too soft to be worn by that gruff old gentleman.
