Is Grace mostly used with the religious meaning in mind?

What do you think most people have in mind when they name their daughters Grace?

It's on our list and a person commented that it will be difficult to wear if she is not graceful looking. This was interesting to me, because I never thought of it like that, even though I know this meaning exists.

I think of it more like meaning "good will" or sometimes the grace of God, God's favour.

What are your experiences and thoughts?

No I doubt it.
The first Grace I knew was an older woman. She was anything but graceful.

I have never thought of the religious connotations about the name Grace when meeting someone called Grace, and it wouldn’t be my motivation for using it. Though I do know it is a virtue name, I would be more inclined to thinking “graceful” not “Grace of god”
