Can we name our daughter Grace, or is our surname stopping us?

[EdenFalls2016]

Our daughter arrived yesterday - a Halloween baby we absolutely love the name Grace.

Our surname is Samuels-Grey (yes, we know it sounds like 'Samuel's grey')... We can't have a Grace Samuels-Grey, can we?

Congratulations
I think that name goes perfectly! Enjoy your bundle of loveliness

I know an Ann Kerr are you in Scotland?

Sorry, but Grace Samuels-Grey reminds me a bit of this Catherine Tate sketch:

Ivy is lovely though.

I think so, although would probably opt for Ivy. I would have liked to use the name buts it's a definite no with our surname.

I'm not keen on Scarlett due to the colour thing (scarlet/grey).

Grace Samuels-Grey is absolutely fine, but I love Scarlett Samuels-Grey!

Grace is beautiful, and I think the rhythm of the full name is lovely. If you love the name, go for it - most of the time she will just be known as Grace, or even Grace S-G.

I love it - Grace Samuels-Grey. Do it, you won't regret it.

I wanted to give DD2 Grace as a middle name but DH vetoed it. We nearly didn't give her a first and middle name because they sounded like something else when said together, but I'm glad we did, she has a beautiful name.

Congratulations!!!

It's not an enormous issue, but I think the sss sounds in Grace Samuels run together too much. I think Ivy Samuels-Grey is lovely.

congratulations and how very exciting.

Grace Scarlett Samuels Grey. Wow. That is a beautiful name - I can truly see it on her office door, her book/album cover.... Lovely.

Yes, so much love it almost bursts from your chest

I LOVE Grace Samuels-Grey

I think it sounds perfectly fine, go for it!

ABC yes!
OP it does run into itself a bit and I agree it sounds like Grey Samuel Grey. Scarlett sounds great though. Congratulations!

I absolutely love it! Have said it out loud a bunch of times and it's very classy... Very graceful! Ivy and Scarlett also work (I like Scarlett the least personally). And Autumn as a middle name is what I want to use. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl (and your excellent taste!)
