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

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.
