What do you think if these names? What do you prefer?

[Madallie]

Amelia Grace
Grace Lucia (pronounced Loochia)
Grace Francesca

Some possibilities for dd. just wanted to see what others think of these.

Thanks.

Amelie Grace is the best.

I don't like the pronunciation of Lucia that way at all because it reminds me of lochia (which is the bleeding you get after baby's born, sorry)

Grace Francesca is a mouthful, I don't think it flows well.

hth.

and good luck with birth/baby!

I like Amelie but prefer Amelia. Thanks for your post.had never thought that about Lucia because of the ch sound in it. Worth thinking about though. Thanks.

Is Francesca Grace a possibility? Flows better and I like Frances or Frankie as NNs.
Amelia is so common, every female child in every group I go to is Amelia/Millie/Mia, plus the meaning really puts me off.

sorry, I meant Amelia! (stupid phone)

Amelia means beloved - how is that offputting?

Amelia Grace is pretty.
Prefer Francesca Grace over Grace Francesca, which is a bit of a mouthful.
Grace is a bit of hard one to find a middle name for imo. Nothing sounds quite right

Actually haven't looked up the meaning of the names, maybe I should now!

I know Amelia is a popular name, although funnily enough as a teacher I have only taught/known 1 in 8 years.

Francesca Grace is a possibility but I prefer Grace to Francesca and second names don't get used that often iyswim.

Just to add, I think I really like Grace the most, so any suggestions of second names that go nicely with this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I like Lucia Grace.

I do really like this too onesleep. The only thing I'm thinking about this is that my dd1's name end in an -ia sound so not sure this will sound good when referring to them together/calling out their names etc.

I like Grace Victoria
Grace Louise
Grace Rebecca

Grace Lucia.

Nice to see Grace up front in first name position!

Grace Angharad
Grace Aurelia
Grace Evangeline (that might be a bit too religious sounding though!)

Zing

Amelia is a medical term referencing the congenital absence of a limb.

Granted not the official meaning of the word as a name.

I like Grace best as a first name - classic and you don't hear it that often unlike Amelia! Lucia is nice but pronunciation issues

alis

wouldn't bother me and I have never heard of it until now (but thanks)

The original meaning is what matters IMO as I'm pretty sure it was there first.

it's like with Mercedes.
people make weird faces and say "how stupid, they named their kid after a car" - not knowing that in fact the engine was named after Emil Jellinek's daughter!

Zing

I only found out about the medical term after a simir thread on here a few months back. It's still a pretty name

And Yy to Mercedes! I grind my teeth when people make the "named after a brand" comment.

I like Grace Amelia.

Grace Francesca is lovely
Grace Sophia
Grace Lily
Grace Elizabeth

Good luck!

You should choose the name YOU prefer, not us .

Personally I find both Amelia and Grace a little overused, but they are both widely used, fine names.

I love Francesca though - beautiful, elegant and not as overused!

Thanks all.

Thanks Tammy, will def choose the name I like, just nice to hear some other perspectives/ideas.

I liked Grace for DD but when she arrived she was a lovely big, chubby chunk of a baby. She's now slightly built but very clumsy. I'm glad ee didnt go for Grace as it totally didn't suit her.

How can you name your baby before you've seen/met her? Surely a list with a bit of variety is the way to go

Out of your suggestions, Amelia Grace sounds best, but as Grace was always one of my first choices for our (non-existent) girl I personally would go for Grace but with a different middle name.

I like Amelia Grace or Grace Amelia. Personally not keen on the name Francesca. Lucia is nice I know an Italian with the name pronounced Loochia it's lovely

Glitz, I'm glad you like a Grace Lucia, and yes it is the Italian pronunciation that I like/want. I guess maybe I think that I (and dd ultimately) will get fed up with correcting pronunciation.
