How many Graces do you know?

113 replies

Following on from a precious thread this morning - I am swaying towards Grace to be known as Gracie. I originally really didn’t want an overused name but I think Grace is used much more in the middle then as a first name?

How many do you know? How old? Do any have Gracie as their BC name?

Thank you for your help...it sure is tough naming a human.

I've got three graces in my family alone

YourStarlessEyes · 09/08/2020 07:15

I know of one, aged 2.

snappycamper · 09/08/2020 07:14

I forgot one, I also know a 21 year old grace

snappycamper · 09/08/2020 07:14

Very popular here, I know 4. 3 of them under 10 and 1 13 year old. 2 of them are Gracie

Rachel247 · 09/08/2020 07:12

cautiouscovidity · 07/08/2020 22:57

I know two - one is almost 12, the other has just turned 10. Neither are 'Gracies'.

SerenityNowwwww · 07/08/2020 22:56

3 - boom boom!

Actually i know - middle names for both. I like it ac a name.

CoffeeRunner · 07/08/2020 22:53

Way too many.

And none of them nice.

Sorry OP. I really wouldn’t.

AnnaSW1 · 07/08/2020 22:37

I know lots. I love it. It's a lovely classic name. If you love it you should use it

LarkDescending · 07/08/2020 22:31

The only Grace I know is 12 - her parents used nn Gracie when she was younger, but she now prefers “just” Grace.

midnightstar66 · 07/08/2020 22:22

I know one Grace (7) and two Gracie's (7&15) these are spread the length f the country though not here locally. Lots of graces as middle names (including my dd)

DancingLady · 07/08/2020 22:19

Several under the age of 10. It's a pretty, classic name.

DamnYouAutocucumber · 07/08/2020 21:59

Two, one aged around 13 and one 7. Neither of my children have ever had one in their class.

imissthesouth · 07/08/2020 21:53

I know quite a few graces, a few of my friends children have grace either as a first name or a middle name. Gracie is nice though!

caringcarer · 07/08/2020 21:53

3 as first names oldest is 9 and youngest 1. Also 4 as middle name.

DawnAnn · 07/08/2020 21:51

I don't know any..

gobananasgo · 07/08/2020 21:48

One about 26, would call herself Gracie when younger, but is officially Grace.

Another as a middle name age 18.

I like it ! But it's old lady chic ( my DD has an old lady name too)?

Fishfingersandwichplease · 07/08/2020 21:41

I know a Gracie aged 9 but no Graces

snowone · 07/08/2020 21:26

I know a Grace who is 12/13 and a Gracie who is 6.

I know lots of people with Grace as a middle name ranging from 20s down to babies.

aprilfools19 · 07/08/2020 21:16

I’m 28 and honestly know a lot. There were 3 in my year group (out of approx 60 girls in the year). I just asked my partner who’s a primary school teacher and she said there’s quite a few at her school.

VerbenaGirl · 07/08/2020 20:52

Two, both tween / teen now. One often called Gracie. I love the name.

MyNameHasBeenTaken · 07/08/2020 20:48
  1. Both grace.
First is about 16/17. Second is in reception class, so probably 5? She is usually grace. But often Gracie when granny is around. Grace was I name I considered for my dd. It would not have suited her. She was nearly 9lbs at birth (2 weeks early) and a very clumsy toddler. I think brutus would have been a better fit

I’ve just been reading through all of the responses @Whatsyourflava it’s definitely helped and I can see by the ages that people don’t seem to know many baby Graces and they are all older so with any hope, like you’ve said it won’t be suddenly super popular again.
