- Comments and insights on the name Macy
I absolutely love this name! I love how familiar it is. I came to liking the name because of the department store of which hosts the most spectacular parade. That parade was something special in my childhood which is why the name is so special to me. If I was to have a daughter, her name might be Macy...
We named our daughter Macy in 2008. We wanted something that coordinated with her sister Lucy. We had a friend who had a daughter with the same name but spelled Maisie. We really liked it and.decided to use Macy! If we had a boy, by complete chance, we liked Mason :)

Macy is the newest member of the girl's surname family that includes Tracy, Lacey and Stacy. It is by far the most contemporary of the group, with a tough edge that the others can't match. Singer Macy Gray helps pump up that toughness and cool. Avid shoppers may consider Macy a department store name.
