[Opinions] Re: Gracie & Sophie
in reply to a message by Pickles
Gracie- as a Grace, I never liked being called Gracie, even as a little kid. It always just felt childish and doglike. Mean people at school would use “Gracie” to tease me, and most of the people who were actually nice to me just called me Grace. Maybe if it were my legal name I’d feel different, but I feel like in general, Grace has a lot more elegance and ages much better than Gracie. With that said, Gracie is not cutesy to the point where it’s unusable.
Sophie- I’ve met a lot of Sophias that go by Sophie, and Sophies who were legally called that, but almost no Graces that go by Gracie or legal Gracies. I’d argue it’s better than Gracie. I think it’s just because Sophia isn’t a word. Still, I prefer Sophia. It’s just more elegant.
Together? It reminds me too much of twins Sophia Grace (one name) and Rosie. But they’re fine.
