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.

One in my family and she's about 5. Mum's cousin's children so not immediate family. I think it's a cute name and would definitely be on a potential list I have in the future.

I know 2 age 5 and 6. The 6 year old is known as Gracie and the 5 year old Grace. It’s a nice name!

I know 2 Grace/Gracies. My sister is called Grace and she's 23. My friends little sister is called Gracie and she's probably around 13/14 by now. I think Gracie is a lovely name.

I taught 2 in the same class in 2015 (aged 6).

Son has a grace in his class.

One who will be about 25 (I taught her a while back) and another that is about 8 or 9 (a colleague’s daughter). Definitely prefer Grace to Gracie.

Oh and next doors niece is Grace. She must be 9/10.

Pretty name. But much prefer Grace to Gracie.

Quite a few but would all have been born around 2005/2006. Dd was born in 2006 and has at least 8 in her school year. She also knows two others at other schools/guides.
I know 2 that are 4 years older as they are ds2’s school year.

I don't know anyone called grace. I think it's a lovely name 🙂

Henlie · 06/08/2020 15:31

I know five people with the first name Grace. Two are 26, two are around 16 and then the last is 5 years old.

A few of them get called Gracie.

DramaAlpaca · 06/08/2020 15:30

Two, both early 20s. Both known as Grace, never Gracie.

Deadringer · 06/08/2020 15:27

I know 3 Grace's, age 60, 45 and 25, none are called Gracie. I know of a couple of small children called Ellie-Grace and Millie-Grace though.

Whatsyourflava · 06/08/2020 15:24

I don't know any

Don't forget that the numbers of Grace's have been falling each and every year since 2006. It'll be even lower down the charts by the time the 2020 stats are released.

Most Grace's now will be 15 years old.
It could be less popular than Aurelia by the time the 2020 stats come out!
