Adore this name. I chose this name for my first-born daughter and she is 100% a "Grace" :) I couldn't imagine her with a different name. Elegant, sweet and timeless and I hope one day far in the future she gets to be a "Grandma Grace"... the name suits girls from youth into old age.

Lovely feminine name and it's one of my favorite feminine names on my list. Doesn't matter if Grace is first name or middle name, BOTH ways are good... it's classic, sophisticated, elegant and sounds regal ofc. Plus comes up with lots of cute and spunky nicknames...

The meaning of the word and therefore the name Grace is beautiful and sadly lacking in today’s society I wish more women would once again act with true Grace and poise.

Grace is a sophisticated name. I like this name a lot. I think there was definitely a reason for making a comeback. I like Grace as both a first name and a middle name, and nickname Gracie is cool.

I like the name Grace, my niece is named Grace and a little girl named Gracie is the sweetest thing for me.

This would make a great name for a boy as well. Before anyone replies, "But Grace is a girl's name so you can't name a boy that!", you are probably the same people who name their daughters Dylan, Brodie, Devyn, and other male names. Names can go both ways, not just male to female but female names to male.

This is my name. It’s kinda annoying to be called Grace because I’d rather be called Steve. And people sometimes say negative stuff when they’re saying my name and it makes me feel like I’m in trouble when people say my name. Also everyone uses she/her pronouns when they’re talking about me and that just makes me go nuts.

My name is Grace, and personally I love the name! It sounds elegant and gentle. Personally though, I don't like when people refer to me as Gracie or Gracey because I find it as more of a childish name, but some people do prefer Gracie just not me personally :)

I love the name Grace! I just love the 1940s vibe of this name. (I am a big fan of vintage fashion and anything vintage, especially from the 1940s) I guess it's because of the game Fran Bow haha.
It's weird because it's not like it was popular in the 1940s anyways.

This is my youngest sister's middle name (well one of them) I think it's cute, I do like the nickname Gracie and it works best as a middle name, it really suits my sister (Olivia Anne Grace). It's really trendy as a middle name, but that doesn't bother me, If I ever have a daughter her middle name will be Grace.

This is a wonderful name. Short yet elegant and beautiful, fits both first and middle names, and a lovely nickname could be Gracie, or it could be a nickname for Gracelyn, which is not as good, but still pretty.

For me, I never really liked my name (which is Grace). I am kind of the opposite of Grace, but every one of my friends thinks the name Grace has definitely fitted me. I have been trying to ask my parents to change my name to Annabeth or something more strong and not so elegant but they would be heartbroken if I did. Don't get me wrong, Grace is a cool name for a middle name or something but in my personal opinion, I do not like the name addressed to me.

It reminds me of the song called “Amazing Grace” by John Newton.

It actually has a nice meaning, and very beautiful sound. The only Grace I ever met wasn’t exactly graceful, but it’s actually a good name. It’s a tad dull though. Very common as a middle name. Not too flashy or anything, just elegant and nice. I don’t like that popularity though. I don’t see the point of names like Gracelynn, just use Grace!

Such a simple, beautiful, timeless name. Of course, the downside is that it is currently very popular, but this too shall pass. I think that matters less as a person gets out of school and starts to be surrounded by people from many age groups. Besides, it is popular for a reason.

This is my name, and I’m not gonna lie, while I do like it, I don’t like how common it is. There are like 1 billion (exaggeration) students at my school named Grace so it can get pretty tiring going by “Grace” followed by the first letter of your surname, and I’m sure everyone with a really common name like mine will share my opinion.

A super classy name! Grace sounds regal, yet approachable. It’s very feminine and has a beautiful meaning and sound. It has been ranked in the top 5-20 of baby girl names in the last 15 years when you combine all the spelling variations (Grace, Gracie, Gracelyn, Gracelynn). It’s a very common middle name, because it sounds beautiful with everything! It’s easy to spell and has an adorable nickname. It will never go out style and sounds fresh with today’s trends.

The following celebrities have used it for their daughters: Mark Walhberg, Mia Hamm, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Meryl Streep, Danny Devito, Christy Turlington and both Pippa Middleton and Bindi Irwin gave the name to their daughters in 2021. This name is clearly classy and trendy all at the same time. A beautiful choice!

I like the name because it reminds me of the actress Grace Kelly, so it gives me vibes of being a beautiful, refined and vintage name but on the other hand I understand that there are people who see it too old-fashioned and "heavy". I think that with this name there are many mixed opinions, although most are generally positive.

HELLO PEOPLE! My name is Grace. If you have a baby, name it Grace after ME hehe >:) Here is some boring info: In Latin, the name Grace means God's Grace. Here are some famous Graces: Grace Huang, Grace Kelly, Grace Jones, Grace Gummer, the daughter of Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham, the daughter of Christy Turlington and Edward Burns, the daughter of Rupert Murdoch. Nicknames my friends call me: Gracella, Gracelynn, Gracia, Graciana, Gracie, Rae, Grazy, Grass, G-Wagon, Disgrace, Gigi, Gia, Ace, Gracisism, and Lady Gracelot. SO BASICALLY! Graces are art-eeeests. We sing. We act. We draw. We play. We laugh. We talk a lot (sorry). We exist (duh). AND WE ARE DISGRACES OF THE UNIVERSE! Just kidding, I'll stop. My point is: Not all Graces are bad. We can be the sweetest little dear in the world. It's just some of us choose bad choices. But some of us are good. Just a little shy. Like me. Please don't hate anymore. It hurts my feelings.

I have always found the sound of "Grace" to be the opposite of what it describes. It's a bucket of ice cold water, right in the face - like a frozen fist. Even the nickname "Gracie" hardly softens it.

What is unfortunate about quality names is that the individual is likely not to fit into them. Imagine a person who is clumsy or lacks social Grace. They may be teased for having a non-befitting name.

Grace is a nice name, and it's a very common middle name. A common middle name to pair with Grace is Grace Marie. I know 4 Grace Marie's, no kidding. It's a very pretty name combination, so I get the the point. You should name your daughter Grace.

My parents almost named me Grace (they decided on Claire instead) I do think Grace is a pretty name though but it is extremely overused as a middle name. For people thinking it’s overused as a first name maybe they should check the charts because Emma, Olivia, Ava, Isabella, Sophia, Charlotte, Mia, Amelia, Harper and Evelyn are the names at the top of the list right now.

I think Grace is a very elegant and beautiful-sounding name. However, virtue names seem like tempting fate to me. My niece was almost named Grace, and she is very clumsy, so I always think it's lucky she wasn't named Grace after all. I've known two depressed women named Joy, a very pessimistic Hope, and a goth atheist named Faith. They are all great people, but their names are ironic and silly on them. I've never known a woman named Chastity, but at this point, I'd assume she's a sex educator or something.

As someone who bears this as a middle name, it is too common. There are way too many graces in my family. My youngest sister's name is Gracelynn! I used to like my name until my younger sister was born. Don't get me wrong, I love my sister. But, my mom and I don't really have a good relationship and I can't help but feel as if she is trying to replace me. Seeing as how I don't live with my mother, it kind of makes sense. Oh well! It's a little overused but if you don't know anyone with that name then go ahead and use it! Actually, don't let my bad experience tamper with yours. Do what you want!

My name is Grace. Some of my friends are starting to call me "Gnade" (the german version) and others joke "race" because I'm an athlete and have running/sprinting records, and still other call me "Gray" just cause they think I deserve to have it shortened. My aunt calls me "Amazing Grace" after the song, and mom sometimes says "Glory" (2nd name)
I have never been called Gracie but I think that would be a pretty nickname, there are many movie characters I know that have that name.

My middle name is Grace. When I was a kid in the 70s I thought it was an old lady name, like Blanche. I didn't like it much then, but I like it now. Seems if you name a girl Grace it might influence her to be graceful and gracious, or at least a polite person! I have not known a lot of women with this name, but it's hard to imagine someone with this name who isn't nice.

I like this name. My sister named her flute Grace and she loves the name Gracelyn. Grace is a bit too popular so I suggest you use it as a middle name.

My name is Grace Georgina and I used to hate it but now I love it and have a lot of pride in my name. A lot of people say that it is a common name and by the rankings, I see it is but I have only ever met 4 other Graces in my life time and I have been to 3 different schools.

It's an okay name, but I tend to associate it more strongly with little girls than women. It doesn't sound very mature, especially with the nickname "Gracie."

I think this name is fairly overused, especially as a middle name. Not as common as Rose, but more common than Elizabeth. The sound isn't very attractive, either. I'm not a huge fan of 'G' sounds in names, whether it's hard or soft.

My name is Grace and I love my name! It sounds so so elegant and classic. I agree that sometimes it can be overused. Where I live I have never met another one, which makes me feel very unique.

I don't like it (no offense to any Graces). It just...doesn't sound feminine. The way it's said makes it seem less feminine. In my opinion its wayyyy too overused. I don't know. Not keen on it. The way it's pronounced makes it seem ugly.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound!

I feel like everyone and their mother has this as their middle name, next to Rose and Marie. Honestly? It's sometimes just an easy filler name for parents who don't have time to choose a middle name.

Beauty, elegance, fluidity, kind, intelligent. My daughter, Grace, is all of these except elegant, difficult to be elegant at 14. She is named Grace after my mother, Gracine. My mother was named after her aunt Grace with the unique "ine" customization. She was born in 1920 when names like Maxine were popular. Her parents thought the ine was modernizing. My mother never met another Gracine.

I actually find this name quite pretty and the nickname Gracie is cute. But I don't think I would use it because of its religious association. I don't really like the names Hope, Joy or Faith as I find them all too bland and too much like words, and I find Hope and Faith too religious. But I actually don't mind the name Grace. Funny how that is.

I was named Grace after my maternal grandmother. It's a very pretty and classic name, but way too common for my liking, sometimes. There were five Graces, me included, and that was just in my graduating high school class.
As for nicknames, I'm usually just called Gracie by my family. However, my younger brothers used to call me "Grossy Gracie" as a joke. It didn't really bother me because it was just my family who called me that, and it was all in good fun. I am, however, not very graceful. In fact, I'm a total klutz, though my mother tells me that there's a certain sort of gracefulness to me.

Dr. Grace Holloway was a companion of the Eighth Doctor. She has the rather dubious distinction of being the only companion to kill the Doctor directly (she was trying to operate on one of his hearts, and it didn't work out), and the less dubious distinction (for some fans) of being the first companion to snog the Doctor.

I'm slightly surprised that no one mentioned the children's story Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman. It was one of my favorites as a kid. It's about an African American girl who desperately wants to play Peter Pan in the school play but the other kids laugh at her for even thinking it because she's both black and a girl. It's a cute story with a positive message.

Grace reminds me of that character in the show The Nanny. And it remonds me of that hymm "Amazing Grace". It does sound very religious yes, but, don't hate on the name.

St. Grace was the wife of St. Probus. There is a church named for them in Cornwall, England. Not much is known about them, but legends say that Grace gave the money for Probus to build the church tower. It is also uncertain when they lived, but it was sometime in the early Middle Ages.

This is the only virtue name I can stand. IMO, the others just sound like words and not names. My family also thinks it's a good name.
Unfortunately, Grace is too common as a first and middle name. If it were ranked lower, I might have chosen it as a name for my future daughter.

I have a workmate named Grace, and she tells me the worst thing about having this name is that people find it very amusing to mention "Amazing Grace" when they meet her.
"Your name's Grace? Wow, that's amazing!"
"Grace? Now that's an amazing name ..."
Etc etc
While most name teasing finishes in high school, apparently adults of all ages still think this kind of banter is very clever and amusing, so it's still going.
Even the work newsletter will say things like, "I'm sure Grace will come up with something amazing for the end of year office party" and stuff like that.
It's interesting that so many people said people called Grace all seem to be clumsy, because Grace actually is rather hefty and klutzy, although I never saw this as an irony considering her name before.

I love this name! Though it can be hard to live up to. You're named Grace and all of a sudden people expect you to be graceful. Or maybe not I don't know from experience but it would seem that that might be an issue. Otherwise this name is just so cute and elegant and sweet.

I hate, hate, HATE it when people call me Gracie. It is the most diminutive, little-girlish nickname I can think of. The trouble is, Grace doesn't exactly lend itself to any other, better, nicknames. However, I have grown to like my name a lot more because where I live there are very very few Graces and it makes me feel unique. I do, however, get tired of people telling me I have a lovely, old-fashioned name, since I had nothing to do with choosing it. I think Grace as a middle name should be dealt with very carefully and make sure it doesn't interrupt the overall flow of the name.

I think that Grace is a rather pretty name. If I ever had a little girl, I might name her Grace Carolyn. This is after my grandmother; her first name is Carolyn, and she always wished her middle name was Grace. Since in my family we are in the practice of middle-naming our children after relatives, and since Grace is a pretty name in its own right, I think that Grace Carolyn would be a nice combination. Grace also has musical connotations to me, such as the song Grace (by U2) and Grace Slick, from Jefferson Airplane.

It's a very pretty name, but the almost inevitable association with Christianity is the reason I wouldn't want to use it myself. This is also far too common as a middle name. I must also admit that the first thing that comes to mind is a little girl rather than a woman, possibly partly because I actually watched The Nanny back in the 90s, and Grace was the youngest child on the show.

How interesting that at least one poster (apparently a Christian) finds any other interpretation of this name than a religiouous one STUPID. It is actually derived from the Latin "gratia," which has several connotations. Understandably, devout Christians might choose the name precisely for the religious connotations. Non-religious families might select it for different reasons. Film buffs (and royalists) might want to honor Grace Kelly. Popular music fans might name their child after Grace Slick or Grace Jones. Interesting that despite all their differences, these Graces are all considered a bit cool and aloof. BTW, since Anna and all its variants are derived from the Hebrew word for "Grace," combos like Grace Ann or Anna Grace might be viewed as redundant.
