I vote for Grace Grin

sue51 · 18/03/2019 10:55

They are both lovely. My preference would be Madeline.

Happyandglorious · 18/03/2019 10:53

Grace.

BasiliskStare · 18/03/2019 04:58

I think Grace is lovely and timeless - That would be my choice if it were me - which it isn't Grin

Really like Madeleine and grace goes well with it as a middle name too.

Oh I love both! maybe when you meet her she suits one more than the other x

missmouse101 · 16/03/2019 15:24

Both utterly bland and boring imo OP but possibly Grace is the better one. I don't like the 'mad' bit in Madeline.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 16/03/2019 15:22

Grace is boring but ok at a push as a middle name. It’s the Louise of the 70/80s.

whitehalleve · 16/03/2019 15:15

Grace is miles better

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 16/03/2019 15:02

Sorry, I just think McCann

And? What is it about her that you dislike?

emilybrontescorsett · 16/03/2019 15:01

Madeleine

Pemba · 16/03/2019 15:00

Madeleine is a lovely name, just sounds nice. Grace would make a good middle name, as pps said. The thing with Grace, although I quite like it now, is that I think people only like it because of the lovely meaning. And it's short and makes a good middle name, like Rose does. But the actual sound of the word 'grr-ayss' isn't particularly attractive.

Ribbonsonabox · 16/03/2019 14:24

Madeleine. I think it's a very beautiful name. It's in such regular usage that I doubt anyone will think of the mccanns! I know two Maddies my own age and a toddler Maddie.... it's far from unusual so I dont think it just links to the Mccanns at all!!

Grace is pretty but it's really popular at the moment so that would put me off.

AnnaSparks · 16/03/2019 14:20

Sorry, I just think McCann.

Grace is lovely.

mrsdavys · 16/03/2019 14:11

Madeleine is beautiful!
No link for me at all to Madeleine McCann. I think it’s a common enough name that it wouldn’t draw links for most people.
Oh I also hate Maddie as a nickname but that’s personal preference of course!

BlueMerchant · 16/03/2019 13:21

Grace.

DramaAlpaca · 16/03/2019 13:18

Madeleine.

pineapplebryanbrown · 16/03/2019 12:15

I love both but possibly Grace and Gracie have been over used atm. Madeleine is lovely.

Mishappening · 16/03/2019 10:31

Grace

Mmmhmmokdear · 16/03/2019 10:30

Much prefer Madeleine.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 16/03/2019 10:27

Madeliene Grace

Ghostwriter90 · 16/03/2019 09:44

Grace for me

daisypond · 16/03/2019 09:09

I love both.

SherlockSays · 16/03/2019 08:10

Grace is far too popular for me. I love Madeline though.
