My name! I have never met another Gratia, but I have heard of other people with the name. 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 adultNo 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.
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."
