Gráinne

I think it’s really unfortunate how many negative comments there are on this lovely and elegant name! It’s commonly anglicized as Grace and is often considered the Irish form of Grace, but probably actually means ‘the sun’. I also think the sound is strong but soft, the -nya ending is especially charming— I think it’s wonderful :)

This is a very interesting name. Although the meaning is rather unfortunate, the visual aesthetic is pleasant and the Irish charm is beautiful.

Tanya+Granny= Grainne.

This name is common enough where I live, and I've heard from one girl who has the name that it frequently gets misspelled and mistyped as 'Grannie', which isn't particularly flattering to a young woman!

Not the worst I ever heard.

Ooh, harvest goddesses are cool!

Sorry but this name is just disgusting absolutely, as if the groan wasn’t enough it just sounds like an ugly old lady name.

Sounds like groin to me. Or groan. Whatever, you get the point.

The name sounds a lot like the Irish word "gránna" (pronounced "GRAWN-a"), which means "ugly." (I do not think it is, incidentally.)

Gráinne has grown on me. It's feminine and yet strong (probably the association with Gráinne Mhaol) and it's pretty without any excessive frills.

So ugly. =(

Ceres reminds me of cereal and Grainne reminds me of grain, but I still love those names. The song "Diarmuid and Grainne" by Celtic metal band Cruachan tells their story.

I think this name is hideous!

One of my good friends is named this. She spells it Grania which I dislike as she changed it herself. Grainne is very pretty.
