Help...

I’ve had moments where I’ve felt sure on a name and then it just doesn’t feel right. At the moment I’m stuck between Grace and Aurelia.
Her middle name will be Evelyn.

I would probably call baby Grace Gracie and I like the nickname Rae for Aurelia.

Thoughts please?

Both lovely names.

Grace is much more popular than Aurelia - there's 3 in DS' class alone- if that bothers you?

Gracie Evelyn.

Although actually I prefer Evelyn Grace.

Aurelia is unusual and pretty.

I've meet both but all the Graces I know have been so sweet and kind.
Grace Aurelia would be pretty.

Grace/Gracie Evelyn lovely
Not keen on Aurelia

Grace. I think Aurelia is a bit naff.

I prefer Aurelia - such a pretty name! Grace is very popular which doesn't matter if you love the name but does put some people off.

I really dislike Aurelia - sorry

I think Aurelia can be hard for some people to pronounce so make sure the wrong pronunciations wouldn’t annoy you. Grace is quite popular but I don’t actually know many with it as a first name, seems more popular as a middle name. Between the two I prefer Grace.

The numbers of babies called Grace has been falling pretty dramatically year on year since 2006 which is when it peaked
So like @PMTRex said, there's 3 Graces in a
Class at school but they're older and this is less likely to happen now the numbers name have fallen so much. By the time the 2020 official statistics are released, I'd predict the name will have fallen out the top 20 on its current trajectory

I love both Grace and Aurelia by the way and think you'd be making a good choice with either

Already been mentioned but I like Evelyn Grace!
Otherwise if you must have Evelyn as the middle name I do like Aurelia.

Aurelia. Grace and Evelyn are totally dull IMO.

Aurelia by a billion miles!

There are soooo many Evelyn Grace/Grace Evelyn’s out there!

I prefer Evelyn Grace too. Both pretty common but i really don't like Aurelia or Rae (sorry, it reminds me of the bit round your nipples!).

Just FYI Evelyn Grace is the name of a school in Brixton - possibly one to avoid if you live in south London.

I don't like Aurelia or Evelyn.
Eve is nice, as is Grace.

I think Aurelia is a bit silly, sorry! Grace is nice but I don’t like Gracie. Grace Evelyn works well.

I love Aurelia Grace personally, but Aurelia Evelyn is pretty too. I love the nn Rae

I think Aurelia will date badly as it was pretty much unheard of up until a few years ago, and it seems like people are only using it now as an alternative to the very popular Amelia. Grace is a bit plain but I love Evelyn.

Love Grace (eldest daughters middle name) and Evelyn (my nans name)
Really don't like Aurelia

Aurelia is far too princessy. It's ok for a small child, but a teen would find it embarrassing. Can't go wrong with Grace.

@perfumeistooexpensive

It's ok for a small child, but a teen would find it embarrassing. how very presumptuous of you! I beg to differ. I’ve met a few Aurelia’s of different ages and none have found it embarrassing. Nor has the name come across as “princessy”.

And you say you can’t go wrong with Grace but I roll my eyes every time I hear it!

Thank you for all the responses - I’m still torn my main concern was that Grace was a little ‘boring’ but I do think it’s very pretty.
Aurelia to me is beautiful sounded but I know there would be numerous pronunciation issues.
For those have suggested alternative middles - it will be 100% Evelyn - my beautiful grandmothers name, the most special person to me. The reason why it’s not the first name is that I’m really not keen on Evie at all.
