I don't know why people say girls' names are easier Sad for a boy, we were set on Elliot John.

We like Grace... However, is it just too boringly popular? I don't know any, but I have never been around children.

Quite like Grace Madison, but I know people think Madison is 'chavvy' Confused quite like Grace Madeleine too, but how would you pronounce Madeleine? I say Mad-eh-lyn?

Grace Francesca?

Gabriella is another favourite, but Gabby is gross. I wouldn't use a NN that is in the name or at the end, as I don't believe it comes naturally.

Love Scarlet, but surname starts with an S and I hate alliteration.

Now that is a beautiful baby and I do not say that lightly, OP. I love the name Grace or the Irish version, Graine.

You have nothing to worry about because the names you've come up with originally are all absolutely lovely (I've never thought of Madison as chavvy!)

FeralBeryl · 25/06/2017 21:50

Oh she is an absolute doll - congratulations Flowers

What about Elodie? Elodie Grace is lovely and you've still got your 'El' sound too.

She is beautiful. Love the name grace. Ds2 is 6 and i cant think of any graces in his year. If you love it use it.

ShinyGirl · 25/06/2017 21:35

Hope Madison

EchidnasPhone · 25/06/2017 21:31

Eloise. She looks like an Eloise to me. Very pretty & light.

Nickname0 · 25/06/2017 21:28

Op your daughter is beautiful, congratulations! I think she looks like a Grace Smile

bretonlover · 25/06/2017 21:23

She is gorgeous! How about a flower name like Lily or Poppy? Can be shortened to Lil or Pops but not really nicknamey names

LittleMissCrappy · 25/06/2017 20:48

Grace Alicia
Grace Helena
Grace Eleanor
Grace Violet
Grace Elsie

I think she looks like a Grace.

Lovely baby, Rosie/ rose/ rosemary and grace as a middle name?

RideOn · 25/06/2017 20:45

Annabelle Grace S....

Dixiestamp · 25/06/2017 19:40

Gabriella is lovely- I've known people use Ellie and Ella as a Shortened form.

pieceofpurplesky · 24/06/2017 23:27

How about Gracie? Or Betsy?
She is beautiful.

chipsnmayo · 24/06/2017 23:14

My DD is a Grace :) She's 19 now, whilst there were always a couple in her year at secondary, there weren't dozens of them. There were none in Primary School either.

Honestly any name within the top 100 you risk having multiples of in a school year.

I love either Grace Francesca or Grace Gabriella.

pottered · 24/06/2017 22:35

She's utterly adorable, whatever you call her!

Fortysix · 24/06/2017 21:52

Adorable baby.

Middle names... Grace Alice ... Grace Harriet ... Grace Edith ... Grace Lily

strawberrypenguin · 24/06/2017 21:48

She's lovely and Grace would suit her. If you love it then use it.
My DS1 has a name that's always too 10 and only has one other in his school year, in the opposite class to him so I wouldn't worry too much about whether it's popular or not

Lemondrop99 · 24/06/2017 21:46

She's beautiful. She looks like a Gabriella to me

Grace is classic and a great choice too

Ca55andraMortmain · 24/06/2017 21:41

I think she looks like a Caroline.

I love Grace as well and think it would suit her. She's beautiful, congratulations.

Gorgeous!

She is beautiful. Please let us know what you decide!

londonfeather · 24/06/2017 21:23

I know a Gabriella Grace that they call GG as a nickname which is pretty cute!

WaahImTellingTheDorchester · 24/06/2017 21:22

MrsLettuce · 24/06/2017 21:18

She looks like Evelyn to me. Evelyn Joy?

mathanxiety · 24/06/2017 21:10

Madeleine Frances?

I like Grace very much, and would use Madeleine as the MN. I pronounce Madeleine Mad-eh-leen, which is a typical Irish pronunciation. Mad-eh-lyn would be perfectly proper though.
