How old are they? Is it too popular?

I know three and they're all about 2 years old.

Crunchymum · 29/01/2017 10:34

I know 2. One is 50's and other is 20's.

fuckoffdailysnail · 29/01/2017 06:16

Beautiful name but I know lots of graces, one who is 80 and then about 12 under 10, all children of friends and family

Chottie · 29/01/2017 06:00

Congratulations. I only know one and Grace she is 76 and a lovely person who the name really suits. So I am just a tweeny bit biased! :)

Summerisdone · 28/01/2017 22:43

I think it's a lovely name but I do know about half a dozen all under the age of 3 and 2 at 6 & 8 years so it does appear to be on the rise in popularity if that's something that bothers you when picking a name?

deste · 28/01/2017 22:35

One Grace and one a Gracie.

CactusFred · 28/01/2017 19:18

Four.

One is 14, one is 8 and the other 2 are 3&4.

OSETmum · 28/01/2017 18:34

2 aged 10/11
2 aged 9/10
And 1 aged 8

JiltedJohnsJulie · 28/01/2017 18:30

3 one is 90, one in her late 20's and one is 14.

Ghfst · 28/01/2017 18:25

I know none. Lovely name.

daisydaisychain · 28/01/2017 18:08

I can only think of one, in her twenties. I don't think of it as overly popular.

reuset · 28/01/2017 16:41

3 x 5 years
1 x 12 years
1 x 14 years

autumngold6 · 28/01/2017 14:52

I think it's lovely. It's my daughter 's middle name, she's 25 and it wasn't popular when she was born.

WhingingTulip · 28/01/2017 14:40

One, in her early 50's, beautiful - both inside and out - Polish lady.

MrsMeeseeks · 28/01/2017 14:38

Congratulations!

I don't know any little Graces. I used to work with a middle-aged one.

DragonNoodleCake · 28/01/2017 10:49

OP just saw your update - go with what you 'feel' you'll be using that name for many many years to come

Congrats x

DragonNoodleCake · 28/01/2017 10:48

2! My own DD2 who is 5 and a work colleagues DD1 who is 1.

DH and I had picked possible girls and boys names for when DD2 arrived (we didn't know she was a DD) we were 100% sure on the DS name. We had two options for DD, I cradled her in my arms 10 seconds after she was born and looked at her with that rush of love and said 'well hello there Gr...' and bit my tongue, turned to DH and said I feel her name is Grace and DH said wow I was just about to say the same to you.

What I'm saying is sometimes you just 'feel' a name is right for a child.
Got to say didn't get the 'feeling' with DD1 but the circumstances were totally different - I'd been told she was a boy at scan. We also thought of a name then changed our minds an hour later 🙂

harderandharder2breathe · 28/01/2017 10:39

About 3, all aged 11/12

Rainatnight · 28/01/2017 09:43

Congratulations!

I think Grace is absolutely beautiful. Elegant and timeless. I only know one adult Grace and she's one of the classiest people I know!

mum2bejen · 28/01/2017 09:41

I know one Grace (10) and once Gracie (7), both lovely little girls!

Congratulations on your new arrival, if you love the name Grace then go for it :-)

RustyBear · 28/01/2017 08:45

At the school where I work we have two in Year 6 and three Graces and a Gracie in Year 3.

Fresta · 28/01/2017 08:44

There are two at the moment in the primary I work in, age 6 and 10. Quite a few more have it as a middle name though.

Graceflorrick · 28/01/2017 08:41
