Is Grace too popular?

I'm in the SE UK, for context.

We've loved the name Grace for years but since becoming pregnant I've noticed it has become more popular in recent years and I imagine it will continue to be.

Why do people think? If we go with Grace will she be one of a number in her class at school or is it not as overused as I'm imagining?

I meant to add, it's a nice name. I really like it.

I have a Gracie (Grace for when she’s being official!) I think it popular but it’s lovely x

Grace is a beautiful name.

If you're Jill Archer then no, it still rankles 60 years later.

names.darkgreener.com/#grace that tells you all you need to know...still 15th most popular, however not at it's peak. I would say it's far more popular as a middle name.

Really interesting insights, thank you!

I don't mind using a name on the wane of popularity but wouldn't want to choose a super popular of the moment name.

Also as it's been popular for a while and more so a few years ago it's unlikely to have a surprise boom in 2019.

I like it. Was the name of my grandmas next door neighbour when I was growing up. She was such a lovely old lady that I’ve always thought I might use it if I have a girl.

My dd is 9 and I am pretty sure it was the most popular name when she was born (or possibly number 2!) but think it must have peaked then, as hear it far less now for younger children.
It's a nice name, but I would worry if child is not likely to be graceful!
