Ever since I saw the miniseries Wolf Hall, which I adored, I have loved the name Grace exponentially more, to the point where I think it is my No. 5 at the moment (maybe 2, sometimes). In the series, Cromwell had two daughters named Grace and Anne who died with his wife of the sweating sickness. Both Grace and Anne achieve a reserved sleekness that I admire. I really think the series captures an understatedness and subtlety that is nearly extinct in this era.
I am also very close friends to a very nice family with three daughters named Susannah, Leah, and Grace. So, lately the name Grace, which I was never much cognizant of at all before except for the constantly used stock combos of Emma Grace and Olivia Grace (so many..). I would never relegate it to the middle name position.
