I prefer Violet but only because I've never known one.
Grace is a nice name too, I know quite a few of a mixture of ages, none are under ten so I'm not sure how popular it is now.

I think both names are pretty timeless and lovely though.

Grace. Both are popular but Grace is on the way down and Violet on the way up very fast.

Violet is utterly stunning. So Violet by 100000 of miles over Grace (so so overused, mainly as an easy option "filler" middle name). My sisters just had a Violet literally everywhere we go and people ask her babies name, their eyes light up and they exclaim how much they adore it Smile

Grace.

Violet is too close to violent.

I love Violet. Bit dark, which is always good in a pretty name! Grace is nice but a bit more bland maybe?

Just can not fathom those who say no to a name 'BECAUSE IT COULD SOUND LIKE"!?! If you change a letter in most games it could sound like millions of other words, Grace is just like Grate in that case, sorry!

Violet

Love Violet.
Would have been DS's name had he been a girl. Agree with the other poster that said Violet Grace is lovely.

Would depend what she looked like. Blonde - Grace, Dark - Violet

Violet reminds me of Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. "Violet! You're turning violet, Violet!"
