This is too stressful. I don't know what to name her. 3 weeks old.

I don't know why people say girls' names are easier for a boy, we were set on Elliot John.

We like Grace... However, is it just too boringly popular? I don't know any, but I have never been around children.

Quite like Grace Madison, but I know people think Madison is 'chavvy' quite like Grace Madeleine too, but how would you pronounce Madeleine? I say Mad-eh-lyn?

Grace Francesca?

Gabriella is another favourite, but Gabby is gross. I wouldn't use a NN that is in the name or at the end, as I don't believe it comes naturally.

Love Scarlet, but surname starts with an S and I hate alliteration.

It doesn't really matter what others think. If you like it, use it.

I like all the names you have listed.

Other suggestions

Rosalind. Lovely Shakespearean name. Or Helena.

Why don't you call her Elliott? Grace is very popular, I dont like it as unless your child is Gracefull its a bit weird.

Or if you are religious, being in a state of grace is important to religious people, it brings you closer to God. I suppose people are relating to the idea that children are always in a state of Grace? I've never understood why you'd choose it otherwise.

There are a few Graces in my son's primary but no more than 1 in any year.

There are more girls names used therefore less chance of duplication ime than with boys.

If you are really drawn to Grace I would use it.

You don't need a middle name. Grace is lovely and I would say classic, like Elizabeth, rather than popular

Friends use Gabri as nn for their DS Gabriele (Italian). Would that work?
Francesca is a lovely name as a first name.

Elliott Grace?

Emmanuella,

@WavingBranches we have a Saskia!

It's a Nordic name and popular in Netherlands.

OP remember that name perception will change - pick something you like and don't worry too much. Children grow into their names.

Our DD1 did not like the name Saskia for her sister. She insisted that RubyRose is the best. But now she can't imagine her having a different name!

Please come back and let us know what You decide on!

Gabriella (Ella) is lovely and not overly used.
I also really don't like the shortening to Gabby either.

@228agreenend thank you :) my favourite from your list is Jasmine.

@Muumi3 thank you :) I like Annabelle (spelt like this) and Rosie as full name.

@flumpybear my cousin is an Eleanor and I don't like her so tinted it a bit 

@Pancaker I feel like if Ella was her NN, I'd have to think before I say it, IYSWIM? I want to be able to call her by her full name but occasionally shorten it, even if it isn't an official NN (think Holly, it becomes Hols, even though that isn't a NN).

@allthatnonsense it is very nice but I hate all the Francesca NNs :(

@toffeeboffin I'll put a pic up in a new comment 

@WavingBranches I do really like Matilda. Thank you.

@Rhubardandcustard I quite like Emmeline but find it hard to say? 

@pottered I think Grace is just a lovely name  we are not religious.

@ladystarkers I think if we have a boy in the future, he'll be Elliot John and I always imagine it on a boy! I also don't want people to think we wanted a boy! We had no preference!

@AssignedMentalAtBirth I think middle names are nice to have

@toffeeboffin here :)

I know one Saskia in her 20s!

She's lovely, congratulations!

She is absolutely beautiful! Jasmine, Charlotte, I think she really suits Grace though!

Serena? She just looks very serene.

Imogen Grace

She does look like a Grace

Madeleine Grace but only if you like the nickname Maddy

Alicia?
Rose

Lovely photo!

I only know of two children called Grace. I think it's very popular as a middle name, but less so as a first name.

Go with Grace Francesca. It would suit her and be a lovely name
