A lovely classic but is it too popular? Interested to hear your thoughts

Ultra boring to me I'm afraid. Sounds similar to grease. So many nicer names out there.

Littlemonstereverywhere · 02/02/2021 21:44

I love it. I used to teach children and the few Graces I met were lovely!

Peppafrig · 02/02/2021 21:42

Very very common these days. My daughter has three in her class and I know many Graces.

gottakeeponmovin · 02/02/2021 21:41

Beautiful

It's ok.
I find it a bit boring.

Firebird83 · 02/02/2021 20:24

It’s nice, but it is overused.

HappyTimeTunnelDinosaur · 02/02/2021 19:58

Weirdly I don't think Grace sounds at all like its meaning, I think it's the strong 'Grrr' sound.

Was always my favourite girls name. My Grace is now 19. She has never had another Grace in her class and it suits her perfectly.

MsTSwift · 02/02/2021 19:54

Over used now. Also quite cruel if the child ends up of larger build. Several we know are really rather the opposite of graceful

shiningstar2 · 02/02/2021 19:52

Lovely name. My favourite girls' name. Smile

Ninkanink · 02/02/2021 19:49

I like it very much.

AlwaysLatte · 02/02/2021 19:40

It's a beautiful name.

KirstenBlest · 02/02/2021 19:39

I know a grown up Grace and it suits her perfectly.

foxywheaton75 · 02/02/2021 19:01

I have a Grace, she is grown up now.
Wasn't as popular when she was born but still a lovely name.

Swingometer · 02/02/2021 18:55

It's a lovely name but it's been in the top 10 for about the last 18 years or so now so there are a LOT of them about

Sadly I think this does take the shine of a beautiful name

Obviously if someone I know has a baby Grace I would say "how lovely" and I wouldn't think anything negative

toolazytothinkofausername · 02/02/2021 18:49

I love it :)

mrbensbaker · 02/02/2021 18:48

It's amazing.

StepawayfromtheBiscuittin · 02/02/2021 18:46

I have a Grace. No regrets and not many others here at all.

LadyWithLapdog · 02/02/2021 18:45

Gorgeous, quiet and elegant.

Enterthedragons · 02/02/2021 18:40

Dull

Spied · 02/02/2021 18:37

Beautiful

YouWontBelieveYourEyes · 02/02/2021 18:35

Massively overpopular and one of the go to middle names for all girls at the minute. It’s just a bit dull now.

ParkheadParadise · 02/02/2021 15:51

I love it 💕💕

CuppaZa · 02/02/2021 15:48

Beautiful classic name. Won’t ever be tacky or go out of fashion
