How old are they? Is it too popular?

I know 2.

One is 6, one is 1

It's a lovely timeless name.

I love the name Grace! It's popularity always put me off but thinking about it I actually only know 1 Grace. She is 5 years old. I work in a nursery so come in contact with lots of children. Over the last 3 years we've never had a Grace. Have had 2 Gracie's though.

twattymctwatterson · 28/01/2017 00:22

Two. Mother and daughter. Daughter is about 40, mother about 70. I do think it's coming back into fashion now though

SloanyAnne · 28/01/2017 00:23

2
1 is 22 and 1 is about 5.
Lovely name.

Cookingongas · 28/01/2017 00:23
  1. Between 3 and 6.

3 in the primary where I work , and my DD19 has 2 friends. Lovely name.

ICantThinkOfAUsernameH · 28/01/2017 00:26
2 aged 0-1yr 3 between 4-7 yrs
IhatchedaSnorlax · 28/01/2017 00:27

I know loads - at least half a dozen of which 5 are under 10 & one adult.

Stuffedshirt · 28/01/2017 00:28

None, I love the name and would have chosen it but have 3 DSs.

DramaAlpaca · 28/01/2017 00:31

Only one, she's a teenager.

Watto1 · 28/01/2017 00:33

One, age 8. Know several with Grace as a middle name though.

KERALA1 · 28/01/2017 00:38

Lots. And weirdly they are all mean. Not a good association name in our house - both dds have an evil grace in their class.

Hmm, seems quite popular? Sad she arrived this morning and looks like a Grace!

Daughter's friend, age 8
Mother's boyfriend's sister, approx 60

Huge congratulations and I think if she looks like a Grace, there's your answer Flowers

Both Grace's I know are delightful. Daughters a person would be lucky to have.
Congratulations on your new arrival. Enjoy Grin

notangelinajolie · 28/01/2017 00:53

I know of 2 Graces. One age 15/16. She made my daughter's life hell in primary school. And the other was a lovely lady I worked with over 20 years ago. She'd be in her 80's now if she is still alive Congratulations, if she is a lovely as my friend she will be loved by all who meet her. Can't say the same for the other one ... lovely name though.

Willialwaysbelookeddownon · 28/01/2017 00:57

Popularity wouldn't put me off Grace as its so beautiful.
I know 4 Grace's in their 20's and a 7 year old Gracie.

Willialwaysbelookeddownon · 28/01/2017 00:57

And they're all bloody lovely too.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 28/01/2017 05:57

Many, many congratulations on your new arrival, OP, Flowers

If you instinctively felt Grace to be the 'right fit', then I'm sure that's what it is.

Beautiful name. Yes, popular, but deservedly so.

badhotfanny · 28/01/2017 06:20

I know one who is 9.

Dd2, 5, has it as a middle name.

In the high school where I teach, roll of c1000, there are probably about 5.

Pluto30 · 28/01/2017 06:21

One. She's 21.

That's despite the fact that it's a top 10 name where I live.

esiotrot2015 · 28/01/2017 06:23

Congratulations Flowers

I only know one

It's a lovely name

OverAndAbove · 28/01/2017 06:23

I know four, of primary and early secondary school age.

But I know about another few dozen who have it as a middle name. It seems really popular as a middle name, presumably being one syllable only?

PlugUgly · 28/01/2017 06:24

When my daughter arrived she also looked like a Grace so after 3 days we changed from the name we had picked out, she's 24 now and suits her name perfectly, go for it, lovely name that she likes too
