Grace as a first name

[FeelTheRush]

Just read the 'Rose as a middle name' thread and Grace gets a lot of collateral heat. I'm contemplating it as first name for my first (and likely only) child. Is it less 'meh' as a first name?

Beautiful timeless name x

Lovely name

I knew a Grace. She was a huge, great lumbering child. She had a brother, Hunter, a timid delicate little soul.

Lovely kids, but neither fitted their name.

Love grace as a first name. I used to work in nurseries and every grace I ever looked after was always an extremely outgoing and headstrong character.

I love it

It was on my shortlist. Love Grace, but not Gracie.

Beautiful name.

I do like the name but I think it is hard to live up to if you are not graceful/delicate in stature.

It's a lovely name, but I think I would hesitate to burden a child with a name they may not live up to, tbh. It's a bit challenging to be a clumsy kid without spatial awareness, but so much worse if you're called Grace.

Each of my dds know an unpleasant extremely graceless Grace. Totally put me off that name.

It's a lovely classic name

I like it so much that even knowing a very bossy one in a past job hasn't spoilt it for me. Definitely reclaim it as a first name - it is too nice to be hidden away.

Grace is lovely

I absolutely love Grace my dd middle name

Love it!

I don't like it, also it often turns into Gracie.

Classic name. Like Ava - quite overused but gorgeous. Lauren too.

It's a nice name, not necessarily one i wohld chose but timeless nonetheless

Love it
