Re: Gracie & Sophie
in reply to a message by Pickles
I love Sophie a lot and think it deserves its popularity, although I also hope it isn't too popular when I have kids in the future so I could consider using it. I've always preferred it to Sophia because I like the SOPH part stressed rather than the FEE in Sophia or Sofia. It's also cute and spunky, fits a whole range of personalities, and ages well, despite sounding nicknamey.
I have pretty much the opposite opinion of Gracie. While I still really like Gracie and think it's cute, I don't think it necessarily ages very well, and Grace as a legal name with the option to go by Gracie is much better imho. Maybe it's because Grace is a word name, but being called Gracie as a full name doesn't seem quite right to me.
That's just my opinion of course. I like both Gracie and Sophie overall and think they'd make great sister names.
