HelpGrace
For people that stalk the polls like I have been lately, I'm sure you probably noticed a poll of mine "A princess named Grace." Personally, I adore the name grace. I think it's classy and beautiful in it's simplicity and if I have a daughter, I want her middle name to be Grace (I have other bigger favorites for first names, but that doesn't mean I find Grace to be any less beautiful).
Now, this poll is another of my curiosity/personal study things (like my 'what would you name a princess' post). When I was trying to pick names for the younger princess in my story, I kept coming back to Grace, and I almost named her that. Almost. I was about to put the name into her profile when I remembered one particular saying: "Your grace."
To backtrack for a moment, the second half of the poll (the first part was asking personal preferences on the name) had a series of comments on how appropriate the responders thought the name was for a princess, and I was actually surprised about something. I honestly put the poll up thinking that more people would say that it would be an alright middle name, but only one person said that. Five people marked that it was alright. One said it was strange, but still alright. But a majority said it wasn't suitable. (Granted there were only 21 responders, and I would have preferred to have twice that, even more three times that, but I understand.)
I want to know why people thing it's inappropriate as a princess name, even a middle name. I'm not criticizing, I just want to know. So, anyone who feels strongly that the name Grace should be kept out of royalty, please speak up! Or if you're on the flip side and you think Grace is beyond reasonable for the blue bloods, I like to hear more about your opinion too. (I'd like to re-emphasize that this is all purely curiosity. I just wanna know.)
(Ok, I know that was long and I thank anyone who finished it. Have a cookie!! :D)
