Super popular and not as nice as Grace which is also super popular.

Why do you care what anyone else thinks?

Personally I would go for Grace.

I have a friend whose daughter is Gracie. I always assumed it was a nn until I was writing a certificate for her. Think it's a bit twee, sorry.

Wasn't expecting such a negative response ! is it any more twee than Lily, Daisy etc ? I think its sweet.

Grace is fine, but Gracie is, IMO, a nn rather than a full name.

Lily and Daisy are both names in their own right, rather than nn for anything.

Sorry I only associate it with Gracie Fields. I think it's fine though.

besides whihc I think Daisy is too twee as well

lacking in gravitas when she gets an MBE or is called to the Bar IMO

Don't like Gracie at all, agree with Kemble that it's too twee. Sorry!

I like Grace but i think it is quite popular (some people are reluctant to chose popular names).
