Help[Opinions] Can I use Stacy as my character name?
This is a name I personally like, but I recently found out that there is an internet meme called Stacy. So is the association with that meme strong enough to prevent using Stacy as a character name?

Use the name. There's no issue.

I know the Stacy memes but I don’t think it will make a difference.

My name is Stacey and I have no idea what this meme is.

The only Stacy meme I know of is "Stacy's mom" references.
I think the character can be Stacy depending on age and personality. I think Stacy comes off as a somewhat young adult (mostly associated with the 1980's), someone who was popular in high school, maybe a bit mean/bitchy, bleached hair, energetic in a way that's halfway between bubbly and aggressive. A similar name is Tracey if you have a reason to avoid Stacy but want the same vibe.

Just use it. Take responsibility for your own writing. You know more about the character than we ever could.

Hello! I live under a rock when it comes to the latest trends, so maybe I'm an unreliable source...however, I have never heard of the internet meme called Stacy. It seems like it's my generation who creates these memes; I have never heard anyone call somebody "a Stacy" (as opposed to "Karen"...which, honestly hasn't been used very much at my college). Anyways, I think that it's a wonderful choice, so don't let the meme ruin it for you! I also feel that the associations aren't very strong, given my experiences.

I had no idea what you meant.

Never heard of the meme

*sigh* The Internet meme of Stacy isn't even as well-known as the Karen meme.
Stacy isn't in fashion anymore, but it was very popular in its time (seventies and eighties( and there are a ton of other associations someone might have with Stacy, if they had any particular associations at all.

Never heard of the meme, and the name Stacy is pretty common so I don't think a meme could overshadow it as a name. I say go ahead!
