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

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It's very overused round here.

It’s the new Claire or Sarah. I’ve yet to meet one full of grace yet.

Love it!

I am with @katy1213, same with any of the “virtue” names, it’s a lot to live up to.

Doesn't sound nice in every accent.
A bit boring because it seems to be a popular middle name, much nicer as a first name.
Might not suit a chunky, sullen DD.

Love it. Elegant, unfussy, chic.
Grace is dignified as an adult name, Gracie for a child is just so sweet.

I've got one, she's lovely

It's a pretty name - but I'd always be nervous that Grace would grow into a galumphing elephant.

Nice but boring. I only know one and I have three very young children who go to various childcare/school, so it doesn't seem too popular where I live.
