How many Graces do you know?

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.

The only one I know was born in the first week of lockdown in March. I think its a lovely name.

I know 6, from aged from 4 to 30. The two youngest are also known as Gracie. It seems about as popular as Olivia here.

Marcipex · 06/08/2020 22:24

The youngest I know is 7. Grace, known as Gracie.
I have looked after many many more, who are now 13-15.

Quite a few and it’s the go to hyphenated middle name with Ava/Eva/Amelia/Olivia. I really don’t like Gracie, it’s far too cutesy for a grown up.

I have one who is 2. We call her Gracie sometimes. As a baby I took her to lots of baby groups etc and didn't meet another one. None in her nursery class either. We chose it because we felt it was pretty timeless.

CheshireSplat · 06/08/2020 22:11
  1. Age 13, 11 and 6.
thunderandsunshine01 · 06/08/2020 22:06

I can think of 4 Gracies off the top of my head that we know. Oldest 8 and youngest couple are babies. All Gracie on BC and none are known as just Grace. In fact I don’t think I know a grace other than one adult woman, about a gazillion children with the middle name though.

Doilooklikeatourist · 06/08/2020 22:01

None , my DD ( 20s ) middle name is Grace , after my Grandma who would be 111 had she still been around
IMHO Grace is lovely , Gracie isn't

chillandrelax · 06/08/2020 21:59

There are loads of girls called Grace, Gracie, Gracie-Anna/Mae in the SE. I know of at least 6 between 4 and 12 and one early 20s. I like the name 😀

Pengweng · 06/08/2020 21:58

Three
One is 23
One is 8
One is 5

I also work in a school and don't know any others apart from above. School is approx 500 kids.

dementedma · 06/08/2020 21:53

TheBeesKnee · 06/08/2020 21:47

SailorGirl3 · 06/08/2020 21:42

I know of at least 10. There are 2 in my daughters class (8yr old), the rest are between 15 and 50, more towards the older end of that age bracket

ButterflyRuns · 06/08/2020 21:39

I know plenty of people with Grace as a middle name, but I only know a few with the first name, my niece who's 6, and my DH's sister who is in her late twenties.

Diverseduvet · 06/08/2020 21:37

I knew one who's now 27. A very large girl, by no means graceful unfortunately

rainbowlou · 06/08/2020 21:33

I know 4 lovely girls between 4-12 called Grace and two 6 year olds called Gracie.
I know a few others with Grace as a middle name.
I think it’s a lovely name 😊

gingerninja99 · 06/08/2020 21:33

I have a Grace who we call Gracie, she is 8. I only know of 1 other in my area who is an actual Gracie. I know several with Grace as a middle / double barrelled name, think Evie Grace etc

MadisonAvenue · 06/08/2020 21:30

Just the one, she’s 13 and is absolutely wonderful!

cleanermam92 · 06/08/2020 21:28
