I appreciate not everyone likes this name, but just wondering if there is anyone on here who does!

No sorry

Nospringflower · 16/11/2015 05:05

Another no!

timeisfreebutitspriceless · 16/11/2015 05:06

Aha, it's kinda what I expected. I guess it's a name you either love or hate! :( I think it suits my daughter very well :)

Eeew. No.

timeisfreebutitspriceless · 16/11/2015 05:18

Was the "eeew" really needed?

Often people will dislike a name until they meet a lovely person who goes by it. I'm sure it's perfect for your daughter Smile

AliciaMayEmory · 16/11/2015 07:06

Not sure what this thread is going to achieve. You've already named your daughter and people saying they don't like the name is only going to upset you! Unless you are thinking if changing it, but then you seem to like it.

timelytess · 16/11/2015 07:08

I suppose someone must. You say 'kinda' - are you American? If so, Gracelynn might be perfectly acceptable.

scatterthenuns · 16/11/2015 07:14

Sounds very American, so I can see it working there.

Doesn't work very well in the UK, so I don't like it either.

MairzyDoats · 16/11/2015 07:17

I'd never heard it before, but I think it's quite sweet.

msgrinch · 16/11/2015 07:17

No!

Only1scoop · 16/11/2015 07:20

No....sounds made up and a bit Trailer Park.

Grace on its own is nice though?

calzone · 16/11/2015 07:32

No. Not at all.

Grace is a pretty name on it's own.

Oysterbabe · 16/11/2015 07:37

Nope, very trailer park.

ScarlettDarling · 16/11/2015 07:41

Grace is so pretty but the Lynn just sounds old fashioned to me.
Why not Grace with Lynn as a middle name if you really like it? Then your dd would have the choice when they were older to use it, or not.

dementedpixie · 16/11/2015 07:43

Sounds like a child from 'toddlers and tiaras'

PotteringAlong · 16/11/2015 07:45

It's a no from me too. Grace, yes. Caitlin, yes. Gracelynn? No.

Walkingonsunshine00 · 16/11/2015 07:57

GraceAnn sounds better

YakTriangle · 16/11/2015 07:59

It's not a name is choose myself, but it's certainly not one that I'd hear and think 'wtf were you thinking?' And I do hear a few that make me do that.

ThreeRuddyTubs · 16/11/2015 08:03

No sorry. Grace Ann is worse though

timeisfreebutitspriceless · 16/11/2015 08:03

I am in the UK and honestly, I was just curious. I thought it was more common than it is

howtorebuild · 16/11/2015 08:06

No for the reasons above.

timeisfreebutitspriceless · 16/11/2015 08:08

It honestly surprises me at how many people hate the name! I mean, some of the names I've come across that are deemed acceptable and Gracelynn isn't - I'm honestly not offended, I like the name and that's all I care about, but I thought it was more popular

OP posts:
howtorebuild · 16/11/2015 08:09

It will restrict her life choices.

LittleBearPad · 16/11/2015 08:10

Sorry, no

It sounds like an American country and western singer. But as you've named her and you like it why ask.
