[Opinions] Grace
Replies
Grace is pretty far from dated. I think it would work fine.
I think it's overused to the point that it sounds cliché (especially when used as a MN or as part of a double FN) but not dated.
The meaning is the only thing I like about it, so I'd rate it 3 or 4 out of 10.

Not dated at all, it's very popular and has been for a bit! I consider it classic. I love it and it would've been a top contender had our younger son been a girl. I'd definitely use it. I think it's sweet but sophisticated, it's strong, and it's a great meaning (religious-wise, not as in graceful).
Listen to a preschooler say 'Gracie' and you'll see how much it sounds like crazy! I agree with you; a lost point, for sure. :-)
I like it, but it's very popular and was even #1 here (UK) in 2006. I'd give it 7/10.
