Swedish singer Sarah Dawn Finer (of English and American descent) has given birth to her first child, a girl. Her name will be Annie Grace.
I think it's a good name that works fine both in Sweden and internationally.Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

Alas, Annie, from Hebrew Channah, means "grace" .... and her middle name is Grace. So she is named Grace Grace. I guess it could be interpreted as "doubly-graced", but something tells me they did not bother to look into the origin and meaning of her first name before naming her. Not bad names, either one, but could have been better.

I think it's a nice name. How would Grace be pronounced in Sweden? Phonetically it seems like it'd be different from English, but maybe it's common to just say it the same as we do in English?

Since Sarah Dawn Finer's mother tongue is English, I'm sure she will pronounce Grace in English.
We do use the word grace in Swedish sometimes to describe gracefulness, like a ballerina moving for example, and then it's pronounced "grahs". But the word is not used as a name.

It's completely devoid of personality. But it will indeed work well internationally, so there's that at least. Better than nothing at all.

Hi !!Yeah it works.
It is one of the most classic combos that I've ever heard.
It is quite boring imo..sorry.
