That's about it really! I love the name Grace, but it is very popular in my part of the world. Any ideas welcome!

top of my girl's list is Clemency Grace, next is Eliza Genevieve.

Alas all the Joys I have met are really not...

Pearl.

I don't know why it's the same, but it is to me... it's a name I love.

Hannah - means Grace

Puddingclub · 09/10/2009 17:41

Fay
Nancy (somehow I always associate it with Grace, dunno why)
I know a little girl with the middle name Joy, and she really is one.

@ choccy. Not sure really - both names just put me in mind of a certain "type" of girl (very pretty, delicate, sweet, girly - i.e bugger all like my dd !).

rosieposey · 09/10/2009 16:05

I have a Grace and a Faith, if DS was a girl he would have been called Joy. All nice, fairly timeless names.

choccyp1g · 09/10/2009 16:03

As in free holiday homes for our hardworking ministers..

choccyp1g · 09/10/2009 16:03

Is it because it sounds like "Grace and Favour" TillySM ?

Rindercella · 09/10/2009 16:02

Faith
Hope

Tillyscoutsmum · 09/10/2009 16:01

Freya

Not sure why - but it just has the same kind of "feel" as Grace imho

onthehill · 09/10/2009 15:56

Ava
Layla

and another vote for Faith, it's lovely
