HelpRe: What are your experiences with your name?
in reply to a message by rainbowpops
1.) Grace
2.) Yes-ish
3.) It was considered more old ladyish in the time and region I was born into. The only ones my parents knew were old so my dad didn't want it. Ironically the names he liked would have aged me worse now.
4.) Not that I remember at least. As a kid they occasionally called me Graceless Grace before moving on to more rude insults as we grew up but I saw that as more a jab at me than my name itself.
5.) There were less graces when I was growing up so it was rare to find my name on things back in elementary school. It got easier as I got older to find personalizations for things.
6.) Yes. There are many notable characters named Grace as well as real life figures.
7.) Yes, growing up I knew only 1 other, than by high-school I knew 2 or 3, now in the present they seem to be every way I turn.
8.) Yes I have spoken of it at length on here but I don't particularly identify with my first name and frequently go by my first and middle together as a double or my middle as a stand alone in the present.
9.) I do not, unless you count the aforementioned identifications. I had a friend that called me Fluffy Bunny for a while because of my curly hair and an infamous rabbit face I can make on cue. I also used the nickname Delilah a while with a few friends as a teenager. No nicknames as a young adult though.
10.) No. Unless you count when my younger sister was still learning to spell and misspelled it Grays Grees, Grase etc. Curiously however, she's always spelled our other sister Christina's name correctly...
Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.
