Diana or Grace?!

The final list:
Diana
Grace

Dd is expected to arrive the 16 of July and we have no clue which name to choose. We have no problems with either name. DH prefers Grace and is constantly referring to dd as Gracie already. I love the name as well, but I can't let Diana go, it's underused and beautiful, and I've always liked it. However, I do think Grace sounds better with ds(s) names, Ezra and Sasha. Surname is one syllable and begins with an F. When asked, E preferred Grace but S preferred Diana.

Middle names are family names and she will either be Grace Aurelia or Diana Mirielle.

I think that question was for me, fragglehead. Grin

No to Diana Ross!

FraggleHair · 04/07/2015 00:25

Of course not.

Is Diana Ross more to your taste then? Grin

Ah Google tells me X Factor That's why I've never heard of her. I'm not into that sort of TV Grin

Diana is a horrible name. Take the other one, whatever it is.

FraggleHair · 04/07/2015 00:19

That's okay, lots of other people have heard of her.

Poineant?

Never heard of Diana Vickers!

Mommyusedtobecool · 04/07/2015 00:12

Diana. Poineant.

lljkk · 04/07/2015 00:10

Diana

GinUpGirl · 04/07/2015 00:06

Diana! Diana Vickers pulled it off well, so I can see it working on a young twenty something without a Princess vibe.

Grace is boring.

FraggleHair · 04/07/2015 00:02

Diana. I love it.

Grace is such an insubstantial name.

Y0la · 03/07/2015 23:26

I don't know, I think I'd be ready for a baby Diana!

Diana has been gone for nearly 20 years now.

I prefer Diana, it's beautiful and elegant, and I think it goes better with the sibling names than Grace does.

reuset · 03/07/2015 23:16

Diana is dated and still too connected to Princess Diana for me. Grace is lovely, if popular.
