I don't know why people say girls' names are easier Sad 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' Confused 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.

Grace is lovely - it's not madly popular and I wouldn't worry about that anyway. I think she is just so sweet and Grace really suits her.

Forgot to say 🌸 Congratulations!

Grace IS popular, but it's a nice name. And if you choose Madeleine as a middle name it doesn't matter how you choose to pronounce it as no-one uses middle names except on official forms!

Does she feel like a Grace? Grace is VERY popular as a MIDDLE name, but I don't know a single first-name Grace under the age of 20. I think people don't use it because they think it's so over-used, which actually makes it not over-used. She looks like a Grace!

P.S I automatically say mad-eh-lyn. But if someone pronounced their name mad-uh-line it would be easy to remember to say it that way.
