Mia lovely name.

Grace is a bit too sexist (one of those names which expects women to be good and kind and 'ladylike')/ religious for me

Grace Elizabeth is the best.

Mia is quite a weak sounding name and to me is “missing in action” acronym.

Grace is ok but really over used and both my dds have a dreadful Grace. in their lives who are both far from graceful which has killed that name for me.

Both lovely and both popular

I think I would go with Mia but it would be a close call. See which one fits her better, you'll know when you meet her :)

Grace is a lovely, elegant name. Mia is pretty but can’t help but imagine someone a bit precious and entitled!
I do sort of agree with avoiding a name that’s at the top of the name charts though as they won’t feel unique if there’s 2 others in their class with the same name. I remember at primary school the teacher assigning numbers - Gemma 1 and Gemma 2!

Grace, I have one though and I am completely biased!

I prefer Grace and I wanted to call my baby this but I had a boy.

My husbands friend used it for his daughter so I was a bit unsure but as it’s so popular I think I may still use it for second child if it’s a girl.

My alternative was Gracie?

Of the two Grace for sure, Mia each time I hear it seems about 16 years out of date along with Ava.

Definitely Mia! Beautiful name. Grace is very overdone
