Grace?

I have found out today I am expecting a baby girl! I know Grace is done to death but I adore it. My three children (2 girls, one boy) all have classic and timeless (some may say boring!) names. All their names are in the top 20.
I want to call her Grace Francesca. Francesca is a name her father likes.
Any other suggestions welcome!

I have actually always loved the name Jenna too! Xx

It’s such a pretty name, not the kind of name that raises eyes or makes people think wtf but a classic that isn’t overused!

I love classical names.

I love Grace and Francesca. Great choices.

My DC all have names in the top ten and I don’t care one bit.

If you don’t pick the names you want , you may regret it.

Others I love:

Alice
Juliet
Zara
Ella
Charlotte
Kate
Lucille
Laura
Olive
Frances
Genevieve

Lovely

@Theoldwoman I'm like you! I have a charlotte, it's a beautiful name.

I don’t think it’s been that overdone as a first name - just as a middle name.

Grace Francesca is a very pretty combination.

However I admit it makes me slightly think of grease which puts me off.

You can tell your sis that Francesca is v popular right and Frances seems to be on the rise.

How about Frances Grace by the way? I love Frances, it’s so elegant and underused but everyone knows it

Lois, Katharine nn Kate, Caroline, Claudia and Susannah are other underused classics. Also maybe Serena - that one seems to be on the rise.

I love it and have a 5 year old Grace, no others that we have met with the same name, despite people saying it has been done to death.

Robotalkingrubbish · 29/08/2023 20:56

Grace is beautiful ❤️

Jomummy1013 · 29/08/2023 21:37

Grace Francesca is lovely!

Jomummy1013 · 29/08/2023 21:40

I'm not with the baby's dad. But before things went wrong he mentioned to me that he loves the name Francesca. I'm so happy others think it's pretty x

I love it the other way around Francesca Grace

purplecheesecat · 06/09/2023 22:17

Lovely classic name, definitely go for it.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 06/09/2023 22:20

I used to know a Graciela. It’s the Spanish version I think.

Cleotheclimber · 06/09/2023 22:31

I have a 4 year old Francesca, and we call her Frankie for short 🥰
Grace was our 2nd favourite name when I was pregnant!
