Grace is a lovely name but as a teacher I would worry if there was another Grace in her class, she would be Grace Lee all day which I think would quickly become Gracie.

I actually don't mind Gracie... but wanted her to have a more formal name.

My main worry was that it sounded like Gracefully?

Did you realise there were so many rules? My rule is, if you like it, do it (unless it's like a dog's name). I think it's pretty. Again, just my view.

sooo many rules. I'm so indecisive though and I overthink every name

I think you need a Christian name with more than one syllable with Lee as a surname. Maybe use Grace as her middle name.

This is my surname too. Its a bit of a pain to work with isn't it, as so many names run into it and either sound like another word, or just sound daft! When we had dd we decided we wanted at least 2 syllables for first name as we felt all the single syllable names we liked felt a little 'spiky' with such a short surname.

Fwiw our shortlist included

Harriet
Tabitha
Imogen
Nina
Rowan
Beatrix
Xanthe

We went with one of those. We did choose 1 syllable middle name though.

Having said all that if you love Grace then I dont think it sounds bad, and I don't think it sounds too much like 'gracefully'. If you love it go for it I reckon!
