Gracie
Hi All,What do you think of Gracie? I have been trying to find middle names for my girls, and have settled on Mia Lily. However, the dilemma continues on with little Maya darling.
So with which name can you imagine Maya with: Maya Sophie or Maya Gracie?
I LOVE Gracie, just unhappy that it's not that popular, at least not right now in the years, although it's quite recent from 1997.
Sophie I also liked when I was smaller, I even dreamt my brother and I played with a Sophie and her brother. Gracie-I once almost wrote a story about a Gracie who well it could have been a lovely, compassionate story. But both names I picked out before in my mind because I liked them.
Which do you like better, Gracie or Sophie for Maya?
Please help!
It's interesting-I'm home now and NO ONE likes Gracie in the NYC area...only in Utah and such. Thanks all!

I like Grace. Gracie sounds completely silly to me, and not like a name someone would bear when they are no longer a child. Perhaps as an occasional nickname for Grace when she's young, but Gracie - ugh. Gracie and Janie are two names I really dislike.

I like Gracie, but it seems so childish. Grace is lovely, and Maya Grace is nice. Maya Sophie is very pretty, too. Are you pronouncing Maya as MAY-uh or MIE-uh? I personally say MIE-uh, but some like MAY-uh or even MEE-uh (which to me, is Mia.)

Woah, hang on, a Maya and Mia in the same sibset? Do you have any idea how confusing that will be? Any way, I like the flow of Maya Sophie best. Gracie I would prefer as a nn for Grace.How about Grace Lily "Gracie" and Maya Sophie? I think that would be lovely.

Grace/Gracie is...(m)REALLY popular in my area (central Illinois).I prefer Gracie to Sophie as a fn but in your combo I like Maya Sophie better.

My cousin has a baby girl (well she's not such a baby any more being nearly 2 but she'll always be my little baby) called Grace and everyone calls her Gracie. So I like Maya Gracie. Also I love Mia Lily its so sweet!xxxxxx

Maya Sophie is nice, and so is Maya Grace. However, "Gracie" sounds like a dog's name to me.

I don't like Gracie, because it's too cutesy. I like Maya Sophie though, very nice. I also like Mia Lily.
