Grace

---

I like all 3, but NOT together, but Grace nn Gracie is my particular favourite, and the only one I like enough to consider using.

---

Yes, I would think that the parents of a Faith were religious. It wouldn't bother me if they weren't though.

---

Grace is most common back home in Aus, Hope the least common. Not sure about here in Switzerland, but I doubt any of them are popular as they are all English words.

I prefer Hope.

---

I've never cared for the name Grace. I don't really care for the sound of it, it's overly popular, and I detest the nickname Gracie.

---

I don't think that someone has to be religious to use the name Faith, but I know a Faith with religious parents, and it does seem like a name that would be used more frequently by religious people.

---

Hope is meaningful without carrying the religious weight that comes along with Faith.

Grace.

I wouldn't assume Faith's parents are particularly religious, because it is so popular around here amongst various people. I think Faith is my favourite one of the three.

---

Hope tends to be a popular name for preemie babies or babies who were ill when they were born - I find this a little cheesy and obvious.

---

Grace is nice enough, but I think it would be too ironic if she turned out to be big-boned or really clumsy.

---

All three names are really popular where I live, but Grace is probably most popular.

I do not know any Faith's or Hope's... and I would assume that the parents of a child by any of these names would be religious.. although these names do not follow my personal taste in names, I would probably choose Faith... Grace seems to be "too" popular and i would imagine Hope would be hard to pair with a middle name.

I'd go with Faith, because I like the sound of it best and its slightly retro feel. I wouldn't assume the parents of a Faith were religious; she might be named for a grandmother, it's a fairly common name here amongst the over-60s.
Grace was #7 here in 2009 and is hugely popular as a name for little girls and very old ladies. I've never met a Hope of any age.

Hope is least expected here but I still don't like it. It's so abrupt and rhymes with dope. I don't like saying Faith even though I could see myself using it as a mn. I guess that leaves Grace which I don't love either. Yes, I would assume Faith's parents had faith.

Grace

---

I'd consider using Hope as well. I adore the name Faith but I would never use it or consider using it as I'm an atheist. And yes, I'd assume the parents of a Faith were religious.

---

I'd say Grace is the most common. Neither Faith or Hope are common as fns at all where I live. I have known one Faith and one Hope in Australia.

I would choose Hope. I really like Grace and Faith though.

---

I wouldn't assume they were religious. Faith means something different to me.

---

Grace is probably the most popular statistically, but strangely enough, I know more Faiths than Graces. Hope is definitely the least common though. I don't know or know of anybody with that name.

I would choose Hope, but I am not really fond of any of them.

---

I think that Grace is the most common where I live. I have came across a few of them. I don't think I have ever met a Hope or Faith.

Faith

---

I'd choose Faith. I think it's the least popular as a first name so that's why I'd be more likely to use it over Grace or Hope.

---

I wouldn't automatically assume a Faith's parents were religious. I'd just think that they liked the name.

---

I'd say Grace is the most common and Faith is the least common.

Grace

---

I never liked Faith very much. It's too mushy and thhhhhh sounding to me. Plus for whatever reason it gives me the worst image. I picture the ugliest, dullest girl when I hear this name. Not sure why but it is what it is!

---

Hope is pleasant enough but I'm not personally attracted to it.

---

Grace has the best sound to me. I like Gr's in female names (Greer, Grete, Gro, etc).

I prefer Hope.

---

Faith doesn't always mean religious, since a lot of people seem to be using it as a MN. I'm sure that's the case with Faith Hill.

---

Grace seems to be most common. I think I've heard Hope used, but not Faith.

I like them all but I'd probably choose Grace. I wouldn't assume Faith's parents were religious at all. The word "faith" doesn't necessarily relate to religion. You can have faith in anything- not necessarily a religious figure.

I prefer Grace. It seems like a real name to me. Faith and Hope sound cheesy and I don't really see them as names (although all 3 are very overused as a middle names)

---

I quite like the sound of Faith. It's been growing on me a lot lately. However, I'm not religious and I've been wondering if it would seem odd to use it. I'd definitely consider it as a middle name. I like Hope but dislike the name Grace.

---

In England (where I live) Grace is ranked at number 7, Faith at 73 and Hope at 175 (for 2009).

I am not fond on any of this names, but if I had to I would choose Hope.

I would use Grace, just because I love the meaning and like the look and sound of that name the most of those three.

---

However, I would be most excited to see someone else use Hope. I like it, just not enough to use.

---

I would probably assume someone named Faith had religious parents, but it wouldn't be an overpowering thought.

---

I'd say Grace or Hope is most common. I'm sure it's Grace for kids, but amongst people I've actually met (mostly people my age) I've known one Grace and one Hope.

I think Hope, but maybe Grace. Faith has no appeal to me.

I'd choose Hope
Faith and Grace will be a name that I would choose if I was a relogious,they're beautiful names and deep.
But I prefer Hope.

Hope is my favourite. Both Grace and Faith are pretty names, but their meaning isn't as close to my heart as Hope's. However, I'm happy every time I see Grace as first name - poor Grace has become such a filler middle name.

---

I would assume Faith's parents were religious, as I can't see any other reason why they would use that name.

---

None of these names are used where I live.

I would choose Hope but I like all of them. I would definitely expect the parents of a Faith to be religious and would probably think it for all three. I would say that Faith is the least common where I live and Grace is by far the most popular. Grace has become crazy popular here.

Hope

---

Faith, while pretty, is indeed a little religious for me. Grace does not hold my interest for long. Hope is rarer and speaks to me, and is appropriate to all spiritual paths, even atheism. Everyone needs hope.

---

Where I live, Grace is the most popular. And I would expect a Faith's parents to be religious, yes.
