I like Grace Amelia.

I only found out about the medical term after a simir thread on here a few months back. It's still a pretty name Smile

And Yy to Mercedes! I grind my teeth when people make the "named after a brand" comment.

alis

wouldn't bother me and I have never heard of it until now (but thanks)

The original meaning is what matters IMO as I'm pretty sure it was there first.Smile

it's like with Mercedes.
people make weird faces and say "how stupid, they named their kid after a car" - not knowing that in fact the engine was named after Emil Jellinek's daughter!

I like Grace best as a first name - classic and you don't hear it that often unlike Amelia! Lucia is nice but pronunciation issues

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/02/2014 10:18

Amelia is a medical term referencing the congenital absence of a limb.

Granted not the official meaning of the word as a name.

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/02/2014 10:16

Grace Angharad
Grace Aurelia
Grace Evangeline (that might be a bit too religious sounding though!)

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/02/2014 10:14

Grace Lucia.

Nice to see Grace up front in first name position! Smile

I do really like this too onesleep. The only thing I'm thinking about this is that my dd1's name end in an -ia sound so not sure this will sound good when referring to them together/calling out their names etc.

I like Lucia Grace.

Just to add, I think I really like Grace the most, so any suggestions of second names that go nicely with this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Actually haven't looked up the meaning of the names, maybe I should now!

I know Amelia is a popular name, although funnily enough as a teacher I have only taught/known 1 in 8 years.

Francesca Grace is a possibility but I prefer Grace to Francesca and second names don't get used that often iyswim.

Amelia Grace is pretty.
Prefer Francesca Grace over Grace Francesca, which is a bit of a mouthful.
Grace is a bit of hard one to find a middle name for imo. Nothing sounds quite right

ZingSweetApple · 03/02/2014 07:32

Amelia means beloved - how is that offputting?Hmm

ZingSweetApple · 03/02/2014 07:32

sorry, I meant Amelia! (stupid phone)

bakingtins · 03/02/2014 07:29

Is Francesca Grace a possibility? Flows better and I like Frances or Frankie as NNs.
Amelia is so common, every female child in every group I go to is Amelia/Millie/Mia, plus the meaning really puts me off.

I like Amelie but prefer Amelia. Thanks for your post.had never thought that about Lucia because of the ch sound in it. Worth thinking about though. Thanks.

Amelie Grace is the best.

I don't like the pronunciation of Lucia that way at all because it reminds me of lochia (which is the bleeding you get after baby's born, sorry)

Grace Francesca is a mouthful, I don't think it flows well.

hth.

and good luck with birth/baby!Smile
