Re: Grace
I don't like Grace. Something to do with the sound, and perhaps the popularity. I will admit, it is sometimes a handy middle name and often fits well in that spot. I also feel like it's too much for someone to have to live up to - what if Grace isn't graceful? Why should females aspire to be graceful?
I suppose there is the other meaning of grace: kindness and generosity of spirit. Maybe I'm ready to hear Grace on a boy.Katie

Grace on a boy...if that becomes a trend, it could change the naming business forever, and in a good way But you know parents are not going to give their sons virtue names. The age old tradition is slapping virtues on girls.I'd like Grace as a nickname for Greyson. It works, but I think I'd have to change the spelling. There are a number if femenine names that I'm beginning to like on boys..

Agreed. As a kid I was really clumsy so my classmates would call me "graceless grace" and say I was the most poorly named individual ever, lmao!I prefer the kindness and generosity meaning as well.
