Thoughts on Grace? How do you feel about it as a middle name?
"People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing all day."

I like it

I love it. I think I like Gracie better if I'm being honest. It's kind of overused as a middle name, but its not bad.

Lovely name, beautiful meaning, but also quite overused and therefore a little lacklustre because of being extremely popular. I’d kind of prefer to choose a name that means Grace.

It's lovely

I like it alright.
I think it sounds graceful without being too much of a word - it's familiar enough as a name, that it's not as totally word-y as, say, Faith.
And of course it doesn't mean the graceful kind of grace anyway - it is more meaningful than that, so that is cool.
Gracie is really appealing as someone's name (nickname), if I think about it. I don't often think about it, because Grace feels kind of generic lately. But I do like it.
Grace makes a decent middle name, because of the meaning. But it does feel a bit cheesy and boring. Boring middles are fine ... but I love the feeling of discovering something interesting when I learn someone's middle name, and the idea of hiding something cool in my own middle name (mine was Lynn so that is just hypothetical I guess). To me, that is more fun than having a combo that flows like a double-name does. ___ Grace combos do that, imo, they flow like a double-name, like Rose and Lynn and Anne and Marie combos do. Even Elizabeth and Jane combos do.

It was my great-grandma's name, and I'm a bit annoyed that it's getting so popular because I'd like to use it without people thinking I'm just trying to be trendy. I very likely will use it for a middle name if I have kids.
