Gratia Countryman (pronounced "gray-sha"; 1866 – 1953) was an American librarian. She was a nationally-known librarian who led the Minneapolis Public Library from 1904 to 1936. She was the daughter of immigrant farmers Alta and Levi Countryman. She pioneered many ways to make the library more accessible and user-friendly to all of the city's residents, regardless of age or economic position. Countryman was called the "first lady of Minneapolis" and the "Jane Addams of the libraries".

My best friend was going to name her daughter after me (Grace), but I convinced her not to. Instead she ended up with "Heidi Gratia," which I think is far prettier than the originally intended "Heidi Grace."

I would recommend this name because:
1. I'm biased and find it pretty
2. It's not overused at all and is so rare you won't find it on any of those "Top 100 Unique Names" lists (trust me, I've checked)
3. Not an easy target for name calling as it doesn't rhyme with anything (at least in English)
4. "Grace" or "Gracie" work as cute nicknames during infancy and childhood, but the name itself is mature and great for an adult
No one is ever going to pronounce or spell it right the first time, but I'll take that over having the same name as every other person you meet.
