A lovely classic but is it too popular? Interested to hear your thoughts

I must be out of the loop (well, i am - my children are well into adulthood by now) as I didn’t realise that Grace was quite commonly used now.

I still like it. It’s a pretty name.

I like it but I do agree it's a little plain. I prefer Faith to Grace

Considering its meaning its always seemed unattractive to me. The letters and sound are quite hard.

I think it's a lovely name

It's a beautiful name sounds nice for all stages of your life.

Love it . People say it’s very popular, but I have never met anyone named Grace , adult or child .

It's nice enough.

People often associate it with being physically "graceful", hence the comments on this thread - but traditionally it means "grace (of God)", i.e. the child is seen as a gift from God. Like Hannah/Anna.

I like it.

I find it a bit bland but lots of people seem to like it.
