Grace or Pippa?

[Freddie456]

Which do you like best, Grace or Pippa?

Grace is very very common if that bothers you.

I've got a Pippa and love that name!

Grace

Grace in my opinion, coloured by the fact I know 2 dogs called Pippa

Sooo many Graces though. Nearly as ubiquitous as the Eve names. This generations Sarah and Claire.

Both beautiful - grace is very popular as a 'filler' middle name, but it's not used that much as a first name. I would go for Philippa on the birth certificate with pippa as a nickname.

I love Pippa - quite a quirky name - and even shortened to Pip would be sweet.

Grace, even though it's everywhere these days.

I don't like 'pony club' names like Pippa.

@NannyR I agree. I know dozens of middle name Graces but not many little ones with the first name Grace.

Grace

Pippa means lots of rude words in various languages. There have been threads before on it if you search. I had it on my list for DD but thankfully Mumsnet helped me to dodge that bullet. I’d definitely choose Grace of your 2 options.

Like both, edge towards Grace.

If Pippa, I like the suggestion above of Philippa as the name and Pippa as a diminutive.

I was also going to mention that Pippa doesn't travel well across several European countries. For that reason of the two I would choose Grace.

Pippa

Grace's are two a penny around here

Although it is true Pippa doesn't travel well.

Grace 💚💚

Pippa

I always hear Grace as Grease

A name that travels well is really important to me and I'd hate to have one that elicited sniggers. I know Fanny is a common name in France but I'd really feel for any poor French Fanny who decided to live in the UK for a spell.

Pippa because Grace is everywhere.

Grace is a popular name by me. I like Pippa more I think just because it’s different. But they are both nice names.

Both nice, but I’d go with Grace on account of what Pippa means elsewhere.

Grace.

The only ones I know are 10 and above, haven’t heard of any little ones named it for years.

Grace because as others have said Pippa doesn’t travel well

Grace might be everywhere but Pippa is not something that you could say in quite a few European countries. Definitely a name to be avoided unless you don’t mind your child being named after a sexual act!
