HelpRe: Grace
in reply to a message by Perrine
Grace is religious-sounding: grace as a common noun is more often found in religious contexts than in connection with elegant movement (graceful) or elegant behaviour (gracious).
I don't find it interesting and would certainly never think of using it. I know one Grace, aged about 60, and one Gracelyn, aged about 6. My country doesn't make birth stats public, so I can't say a sensible word about frequency here, whether as a fn or a mn.
BTW, 60-year-old Grace was nicknamed Dis by her brother when they were at school, and he still sometimes uses it. Her mn is Corinne! I find Grace Corinne very unexpected and lovely.
