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?

So has baby arrived?
what name did you decide on?
I like Grace but has become very popular

I don't think you have to be graceful to suit the name Grace.

I don't know any Graces at all.

Sadly the graces we know are awful. Both dds have one awful grace each. So have very biased negative view of this one! Also invites sniggers if grace becomes large in later life.

The last two babies born I know were grace and ever other kid seems to have it as their middle name (either that or Mae) so too common for me.

Grace is a lovely name.

I know of two adult Graces and all I remeber of them was their inner beauty and lovely smiles. One was not a stick but average weight and the other plump. Still suited them. It's ridiculous to assume a "Grace" needs to be stick thin or " Graceful " to carry the name. I love Grace Kelly but wouldn't be silly enough to compare all the Graces on the planet to her. Also, I'm sure there are a lot of rough, unfeminine women out there with daughters called Grace. It's a bit unrealistic to expect " graceful" with that enviorment.

Love Rebecca nn becca ! It is our first choice for a girls name at the min (we r team green)

Love Grace but I would have concerns about possibility of a lack of grace in the child.

Rebecca is really nice too

Love Grace. My children are 10, 9, 5 and 2 and we have only ever come across one 10 year old Grace at ballet and an 8 year old in the same year group as my ds.. I think it is more commonly used as a middle name. It is timeless, classic, beautiful name so is becoming popular for a reason.

Rebecca Grace flows better than Grace Rebecca.

I actually like Gracie, but i'm not as keen on Grace as it is. Although the longer you look at either of them written down it doesn't really look like a name at all... is that just me?

I don't know any personally know any Graces, but i think it would be quite unfortunate if she ended up looking a certain way (ie. anything but graceful)

I love it! It's one of my favourites

I like Grace it is very popular though. I prefer Gracie.

Grace is lovely but absolutely massively popular. We are in the US and in my dds freshman class at high school (14/15 yr olds) there are no less than 16 Graces/Gracies!!!! My 12 year old also has 3 or 4 in her grade and they only have two classes so out of 30-40 girls.
