ClassicI love his name so much, no matter how popular it is. Anyone named Grace seems classy and sweet to me. Gracie makes for an adorable nn too.

It's classicIt is a lovely name and just so happens to be really popular right now. I think a name like Grace becoming super-popular is okay because it really is a wonderful name. I like it even though it's becoming overdone, especially in the middle name department.

Classic as a first name, trendy as a middle name.

It's a classic that has been revived. I can see how someone could think of it as trendy based on its quick increase in popularity in the 1990s after years of not being nearly as popular. Its popularity has come in waves. Back in the late 19th century, it was about as common as it is today, but in the late 1960s, it had fallen to number 317 in the U.S. As far as records show, its usage has been fairly regular in the U.S., and it has never fallen out of the top 500. Had the name been much more obscure before becoming popular, it might count as trendy, but like Isabella, Emma, and Emily, Grace has been a familiar name for years.

Classic, definitely. Not trendy but v. popular, even more so as a MN at the moment. It would be nice to see some other virtue names have more use, though.

I agree. There are some other virtue names that are really great, but not used nearly as often. I'd like to see Joy make a comeback as a FN. I'm also a fan of Verity...I love the look, sound, and meaning of it. I'm surprised it isn't more popular. I like Charity too.

Classic, but over used as a middle name. Great to see Grace in the first name slot though (same with Rose, Marie, etc.).

Classic. I think it's in the same rank as names like Lily, Alice, Elizabeth and Emily- timeless

ClassicI believe that Grace is a timeless classic, but it's the overwhelimg popularity that probably turns people off on this board.
