Should we change our Annie to a Grace?

[PureBlue]

Still only 5 days old; not registered yet  thanks!

Oh I LOVE Annie!!! Grace doesn’t have a patch on it.

I love the name Annie. Grace, whilst nice, is a bit blah and overused in comparison.

I know a couple who had this dilemma and ended up calling their baby Nancy ? I mean it also means grace just seems like a bit of a change. I know someone called Charis as well, which is the greek version of Grace (pronounced like charis in charisma).

How about Anna? A bit more graceful than Annie but you could still call her Annie as a sweet nn?

I agree with Elmo!

Grazia-Anna

Then use either Grace or Annie as a nickname when youge tto know her

I like both but prefer Annie. Or how about Anna?

I know an Annie and she really is the kindest girl. Lovely name. Keep it.

Stick with Annie!

Three Graces in my daughter’s class so I wouldn’t! :-)

Annie has too much potential for fanny jokes so I'd go with Anna

I used to really like the name Grace but gone off it as it's become too popular. It's a name that doesn't suit everyone imo. Stick with Annie.

Change it tomorrow tomorrow....
Much prefer Grace /Gracie

Annie is lovely

I've known some ungrateful Grace's.

Anna nn Annie would be my preference.

I love Annie

Annie is lovely, sweet name and much more unusual than Grace (although I quite like that). Annie Grace would be lovely, or Anna Grace as some pps suggest, (of course you can get Annie from Anna, why ever not?). Don't know why but Ann or Anne just doesn't appeal so much, seems a bit dull, although it is obviously classic. And Anne Grace doesn't flow so well.

Don't go sticking any tacky hyphens in there though!

How about Gracie? I have one, she’s grown up now but her name is Gracie NOT GRACE! She has to tell people that sometimes! She lives her name.

I would go with Anna. Much nice and very elegant.

Annie is fab. Dd aged 10 with impeccable taste announced her future dd will be Annie.

Graces are two a penny round here and both Graces in my respective dds classes are dreadful.

I do find it difficult to get excited about ANOTHER Grace. It’s soooo common now that it’s become pretty dull, insipid. Generic even.

Annie is suited to all ages, it’s fresher sounding, and it’s no where near as common!

But she’s your baby, don’t let other people sway your thinking...

I know a couple who had this dilemma and ended up calling their baby Nancy confused? I mean it also means grace just seems like a bit of a change

Not really. Nancy was originally a NN for Ann/Anne/etc (can also be used for Agnes)

FYI grace is the Sarah of this generation. A nice name but really really over used. Fine if it doesn’t bother you but there are lots.

Do not change it. Annie is lovely

I don’t think Grace is the Sarah of this generation! There is 1 Grace and 2 Gracie’s in my daughters year of 90 kids! Zero Annie’s though. 3 Arabella’s, 3 Charlie’s, etc etc

I think I had over 10 Sarah’s in my year at school of around 100 kids.

Annie is a nice name, more unusual. I also like Amy - definitely under used today. However I love Grace.

Our DD1 is Annie- love her name. Our graceful, beautiful swan.
