Grace or Pippa?

[Freddie456]

Which do you like best, Grace or Pippa?

I may be biased here but Grace is definitely better 😊

Philippa nn Pippa - Pippa is a bit too cute as a full name

Grace is way overused

Grace!

Grace

I'm not keen on either, though I do love Philippa. Grace has a bit of a hard sound to it, but a beautiful meaning of course. Pippa doesn't travel well so if not Philippa I suppose I'd pick Grace.

Grace.

Both lovely. I didn’t know about Pippa being a rude word in other countries!

Since they’re both nice I would probably choose both and call her Pippa Grace!

I know 3 mean girl Graces!

Grace - as long as you don't mind its popularity.

I have a Grace 😊. Love her name and its not as popular as it was say 5/10 years ago.

Pippa sounds a bit cutesy, but still a lovely name!

Hmmm Philippa, Felicity, Fiona, Charlotte. All a little bit pony club for me. And my cats called Pippin (Pip)

I love Gracie as a family name rather than Grace which sounds a little hard

Oooh not a Pippa fan.

Grace as a first name is much rarer, I like it, and Gracie is lovely.

I love both of them. I would 100% name my daughter Philippa Grace!

Thanks for all your comments.

I do really like Philippa but my son’s middle name is Philip after my granddad so I think calling my daughter Philippa might make the other grandparents too jealous haha.

Glad to hear of the travel issues with Pippa at this stage, before a french exchange at secondary school. I think Pippa is a lovely name but possibly one to avoid for now.

Definitely Grace

Grace 1000000x

I have a pippa!

I had no idea that it was rude in other countries 😬😬😬😬😬

I have experience of both names and can confirm only one Grace in our local primary and haven’t met another yet with it as first name. I’ve also never met an adult Grace.
Nobody has sniggered across Europe at Pippa. French exchanges fine, holidays no mention. Biggest issue is Philippa vs Pippa vs Pip - people with this name tend to have varied and very specific views on which of these variants they use, so you might meet a Philippa who’s actually a Pip, or a Philippa who’s a Pippa and doesn’t use their full name at all. It also gets spelt wrong constantly!

Grace is now spoiled by over use. That’s why you have so many votes for Grace! I grew up with a common name and didn’t want that for my kids. Doesn’t bother some though

Pippa Grace sounds lovely
