How many do you know? How old are they?

Is it just too popular?

We love it, but I don't want there to be 3 of them in everything she does.

I know one who is 59 one 27, one who is 19, one aged 2 and a baby. So it's timeless classless and altogether lovely IMO!

Lookinatu · 05/11/2016 14:24

I know 2 one 7 yr old and mine 10 weeks

Ankleswingers · 05/11/2016 14:25

Love this name. Gorgeous Smile

HmmmmBop · 05/11/2016 14:25

I can think of two. Aged fifteen and about 11

CharlotteLuck · 05/11/2016 14:30

Ah! That's not too bad Smile

Charlotte, call your baby girl Grace, it is beautiful and timeless.

daisypond · 05/11/2016 20:06

I know two, a 19-year-old and a 16-year-old.

Bertieboo1 · 05/11/2016 20:08

I'm a secondary teacher and although we have 2 in one class, I can't think of many others. Go for it, lovely name.

user1472334322 · 05/11/2016 20:13

I know 2. One is 12, the other is 2. I also know a 36 year old who has it as a middle name. It's a very pretty name. Go for it, op!

Forfrigssake · 05/11/2016 20:25

I know 3, ages are 23, 3 and 18 months.

rainbow99 · 05/11/2016 21:21

Grace is such a beautiful name, I would have used it myself but it didn't go with my surname Angry I only know of two, one 5 and one 6

SandunesAndRainclouds · 05/11/2016 21:28

It must be more popular where I am - I know or know of at least 5 girls called Grace / Gracie, aged 7 - 13.

Soupandasandwich · 05/11/2016 21:30

Beautiful name. It was my Nana's name and I've always loved it. I would have used it if I'd had daughters.

RiverTam · 05/11/2016 21:31

I know of one.

I must say I find it quite a harsh sounding name.

Chinlo · 05/11/2016 21:52

Statistically, 1 in every 131.5 girls born in 2015 will be called grace. So to be one of three of them doing something, there would have to be 395 girls in the group.

Coey2016 · 05/11/2016 21:56

One little one. I know lots more with Grace as a middle name rather than a first name.

Chinlo · 05/11/2016 21:57

Oh sorry I made a mistake. 1 in every 131.5 babies, not girls. So one in every 65 girls or so.

Sophronia · 05/11/2016 22:58

I know one 23 year old and one 1 year old

dailymaillazyjournos · 06/11/2016 02:00

I know just the one in her mid 20's. Think it's a beautiful name but would worry slightly if DD was dyspraxic, clumsy or generally someone who moved in an ungraceful manner. I know it's more reflective of a state of Grace rather than being actually graceful but for some reason i'd still be cautious.

Joinourclub · 06/11/2016 02:07

I know one aged 22.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 06/11/2016 03:03

I know loads of them. A 40 year old, a couple of 8 year olds, a few 4 year olds, and about 3 babies.

auntym · 08/11/2016 12:33

I have one and adore her name (so does she!). We don't know any others.

2014newme · 08/11/2016 12:35

There are loads at school. It's become the name people choose when they can't think of anything else. But it is a classic and a very pretty classless name.

ViewBasket · 08/11/2016 14:12

One of primary school age, one of secondary age.
