Opinions on Grace?

[PregnantWithADaughter]

Hello

I'm being induced tomorrow; we are expecting a little girl!

I really like Grace (I also like the NN Gracie) but DH isn't completely sold!

He likes Rebecca (NN Becky) but I'm really not too keen...

I'd be happy with Grace Rebecca though

Opinions?

I think it's better the other way around Rebecca Grace, but if you're not hyphenating it Grace Rebecca is okay

Very very popular. If that doesn't bother you fine but just so you know. Most friendship groups of primary age girls ime include a grace, Eve and isabel. They are this generations Rachel, sarah and Claire.

I love the name Grace! I have one myself and there are no others in her primary school.

Grace and Rebecca you say.

Well, call me biased, but both the best possible names

The problem I have with Grace as a name is, what if she isn't graceful? I'm a bit of a heffolump tall and sturdy lass and always was... I hate the idea of people sniggering at a 5ft 8 year old with size 5 feet (which is what I was) and saying "Hahaha Grace!"

I may be projecting though. If you're dainty and likely to have a dainty DD, go for it.

Or after school clubs so I would disagree about it being over popular

Grace is beautiful. Very popular but with good reason.

Not keen on Becky but Becca is a nice NN

I love Grace. If ds had been a she, he probably would have been Grace (we were undecided between Grace, Olivia, and Sophia, just to give you some other ideas). All very popular names, but doesn't bother me. She will be the only Grace in your home

I love Grace. So simple, elegant, timeless...

Love it! One of my favourites.

Love the name Grace. But we do have a very beautiful & clever one in the family & she was the only one in her class too. We all call her Gracie

I love it, and I don't know any. I felt the same as fell though re. What if she isn't graceful? So it is dd's mn instead.
I like Rebecca too, although I think Becca is nicer than Becky as a nn.

Grace Rebecca is lovely.

I teach in a girls school. Grace = well mannered, polite and hard working. Every time.

Not a fan of the name Grace - just think it's really boring to be honest! Rebecca's okay, not used much in babies nowadays....I know lots in their 30s so might be due a revival!

I have a DD with the middle name Grace - I don't know any other Graces at all, so not that popular?

I know loads of little Rebeccas but no little Graces. Grace was to be my DDs name. Except she turned out to be a boy.

I've a 'soon to be' 22 year old Grace, so she was ahead of the curve ( still in the 40s out of the Top 100 girls' names back in 1994 though.)

She complained that we'd chosen a common name when she was in her early teens ( just another opportunity to find fault with her parents at that age.) She is now amused when she hears her name being hollered at some little girl in the supermarket. Her boy friend's mother loves her name, which has also helped.
Good luck with the birth of your little girl. How very very exciting.

I only know one. I like it.

It's one of those names with a nice meaning but not a nice sound.

Grace Rebecca would be lovely.
