Help me decide, please.

Between those two, Grace. It has such positive connotations difficult to go wrong.

I don't mind Evie but honestly Eve, Eva, Evelyn, Eveline (not sure of spelling) can all be abbreviated. Eve is equally classic and if her personality is Evie then all good.

Grace is visually and aurally not particularly attractive. Evie (autocorrected to Evil twice before I could get it to stick) is OK. Why not Evelyn or Eden?

I think just about every under 6 I know is Evie, Grace or Ella. Id like to see more flower names. Daisy, Jasmine, Aster, Rose, Violet.

I met a lot of Year 6s today and honestly there were 2 Graces and Evies in every single class.

So many Graces and Evies ....

I'd pick something else. Preferably something less popular. There are thousands of names out there. Why does everyone pick the same ones?

I've never met an Evie or a Grace despite their supposed popularity.
Both lovely names.

Honestly? I’m so bored of Evie. It’s so overdone. Along with all the Avas, Ivys, Evelyns and Eva’s. She’ll just be yet another Evie.

Not a big fan of Grace but that’s mainly because along with Rose and May it’s every other girl’s middle name. Evie-Grace, Lily-Grace, Eva-Grace, Olivia-Grace, Amelia-Grace. Both are saturated.

Grace - far stronger and timeless
