I love it!

It’s ok. I feel sort of neutral. I think it works well as a middle name, rather than the nearly expected Grace or Lynn.

Not at all. Grace is overused and doesn't appeal to me for its sound or its theology, and Lyn is a knee-jerk ending. Not even the fact that a dear friend had a granddaughter named Gracelyn can warm me up to it.

No. Just use Grace.

Grace is a lovely name, but Gracelyn sounds very downmarket for some reason.

It's ok. It's pretty, but it is kind of boring. The -lyn feels really tacked on. I like Grace more.

I don't really dislike it, but I think it's kind of boring.

I also think it could be confusing because it's just pronounced Grace Lyn but the "elyn" part looks like two syllables, and it's weird to not pronounce the e as its own syllable in the middle of a word. It's common enough that that's not really an issue but it's something I notice if I look at the name for a while.

I think the -lyn detracts from rather than adds to Grace

It's nice. Sounds a bit like Graceland, but it's still attractive. I think if I wanted to use it I'd spell it Gracelynn but that's just a nitpick.
