How many Graces do you know?

Following on from a precious thread this morning - I am swaying towards Grace to be known as Gracie. I originally really didn’t want an overused name but I think Grace is used much more in the middle then as a first name?

How many do you know? How old? Do any have Gracie as their BC name?

Thank you for your help...it sure is tough naming a human.

I know several (too many to count) aged 5-18. A couple of them are known as Gracie.

I know 7 that I can think of without trying too hard, all between 10-14.

Apolloanddaphne · 06/08/2020 16:43

I know one that was born about two weeks ago. It is also my DDs middle name and she is 22. She has a friend called Grace too. That's it.

2, one late 30s and the other 3. Lovely classic name imo, DD aged 7 doesn't have any in her year at school.

KarenKarendson · 06/08/2020 16:48
  1. Age range between 4 and 10.

My sister is Grace, I sometimes call her Gracie. She is an excellent human being!

KoalasandRabbit · 06/08/2020 17:04

Two as first names of children and about 1/3 of all girls as a middle name, Rose also being very common. One Grace is 14, one is 7.

NC4Now · 06/08/2020 17:07

I know one in her 60s, one who is 15 and a couple aged about 5.

MrsSpookyM · 06/08/2020 17:53

I know 3, but they're all under 4 years old.

misstoblerone85 · 06/08/2020 17:56

I know 3. One is late 30's, one is 17 and another is nearly 4. I have a few friends who have used it as a middle name though.

It was my Grandma's middle name and I love it but husband couldn't be convinced to use it

Yogafairy · 06/08/2020 18:18

I know 5 girls called grace. All in year 2 and 3.

123Dancewithme · 06/08/2020 18:20

Two age 4 and newborn

MyCatReallyIsAGit · 06/08/2020 21:27

I know a Gracie (6) and a Grace (4). That’s it. I agree it’s more common as a middle name at the moment. Grace is a lovely classic name - personally, I’m less keen on Gracie.

cleanermam92 · 06/08/2020 21:28

I know 2, 19 and 10

MadisonAvenue · 06/08/2020 21:30

Just the one, she’s 13 and is absolutely wonderful!

gingerninja99 · 06/08/2020 21:33

I have a Grace who we call Gracie, she is 8. I only know of 1 other in my area who is an actual Gracie. I know several with Grace as a middle / double barrelled name, think Evie Grace etc

rainbowlou · 06/08/2020 21:33

I know 4 lovely girls between 4-12 called Grace and two 6 year olds called Gracie.
I know a few others with Grace as a middle name.
I think it’s a lovely name 😊

Diverseduvet · 06/08/2020 21:37

I knew one who's now 27. A very large girl, by no means graceful unfortunately

ButterflyRuns · 06/08/2020 21:39

I know plenty of people with Grace as a middle name, but I only know a few with the first name, my niece who's 6, and my DH's sister who is in her late twenties.

SailorGirl3 · 06/08/2020 21:42

I know of at least 10. There are 2 in my daughters class (8yr old), the rest are between 15 and 50, more towards the older end of that age bracket
