Is Grace mostly used with the religious meaning in mind?

What do you think most people have in mind when they name their daughters Grace?

It's on our list and a person commented that it will be difficult to wear if she is not graceful looking. This was interesting to me, because I never thought of it like that, even though I know this meaning exists.

I think of it more like meaning "good will" or sometimes the grace of God, God's favour.

What are your experiences and thoughts?

I always think graceful when I hear it. I've never even considered it to mean "God's grace".

I very much doubt that most of the very many people who've chosen the name Grace for their daughter in recent years have done so with a religious meaning in mind.
