its lovely

WallisFrizz · 29/01/2018 10:49

Yes. My grandmother was one, I know one in her thirties and a child one. It’s lovely and timeless.

SpottyBrolly · 29/01/2018 11:21

I think it's a lovely name. My mum was going to use it for me in glad she didn't though as I'm more heffalump than grace.

gryffen · 29/01/2018 11:22

my daughters middle name is Grace, its a beautiful name.

Mrspotter12 · 29/01/2018 11:23

I have a Grace!

KatnissMellark · 29/01/2018 11:24

It's nice, but a bit blah. Ten a penny in my circles.

No

Smoliver · 29/01/2018 11:34

When I was a child it seemed very dated. The first Grace I met in adulthood was aptly named. It's a bit too popular now, and overused as a middle name.

GlorianaBanana · 29/01/2018 11:40

I don't like it, however, all the Grace's I know are rather sweet people.

MorningstarMoon · 29/01/2018 11:48

It's a lovely name 😊

drivinmecrazy · 29/01/2018 11:48

I have one and fortunately she lives up to her name. She used to be called 'Gracie' as a small childonation, though now she's 17 it would be a brave act to call her that now. unless of course you happened to be her beloved grandma.
Also used to call her 'Gracie Gru'. Although that still serves a purpose when I REALLY want to wind her up or exact revenge (especially in the presence of her friends Grin )

Lovely!

Boatsonthewater · 29/01/2018 11:51

My favourite

ChocolateCrunch · 29/01/2018 12:08

Yes, and Gracie

ElenaBothari · 29/01/2018 12:18

I like it but I know several baby/toddler Graces, in case that’s an issue for you.

NewYearNiki · 29/01/2018 13:31

Yes. I love It!

SparkleFizz · 29/01/2018 13:33

Lovely name

BrutusMcDogface · 29/01/2018 13:37

It's a lovely name, but always makes me think of grapes. I also know many little girls called Grace. I'd use it as a middle name.

HonkyWonkWoman · 29/01/2018 13:39

Lovely name! Very classy sounding!

NauticalDisaster · 29/01/2018 13:42

It's fine; boring and safe.

Hippydippydoo · 29/01/2018 13:43

Love it, if it wasn't already taken by another family member I would have been very keen on it for DD.

SoyUnPerdedor2 · 29/01/2018 13:50

Yes.
I love the name grace.
Glad I didn't give it to my dd, she is the clumsiest chunky monkey!
Bull-in-a-china-shop would have suited her better!

missmouse101 · 29/01/2018 13:57

No, I don't like it at all and I don't understand why it has become so popular. To me, it's very dated and 'grace' always makes me think of a skinny, pale, tall girl wafting about. If you're going to use an adjective as a name, Hope is really pretty I think.
