HelpRe: Grace
in reply to a message by Melissa C
I have a strong dislike of Grace, but I'm probably in the minority here. I'll try to answer your question objectively anyway.
I think Grace Iris is a little too heavy on the "S" sounds. I like Grace Katherine, although I prefer the spelling Catherine. (I don't know how you feel about changing the spelling; it's essentially the same name, just in a different form.) Grace Ann is too brief for my liking, but Grace Annabel or Grace Annabeth would be nice, and you'd still have "Ann" in there to honor your mother.
Did your husband veto Iris too? If both of you like it, I think you should disregard what your family thinks. It's your baby to name, not theirs, and unless there is a logical reason for them to dislike it (like a mean old aunt named Iris who robbed banks and kicked puppies), their opinions shouldn't matter.
