Bindi Irwin and husband have welcomed Grace Warrior Irwin Powell (unsure if Irwin Powell is surname or if Irwin is middle name).And in case you missed it, Ashley Tisdale and husband have welcomed Jupiter Iris.ETA: Sorry, put the wrong middle name for Jupiter. Must have had Grace on the mind.

I like Grace but Jupiter is meh...I'm a tad biased but I do like Grace even if I don't get the Warrior middle name. I read the second name as Juniper at first and thought oh Juniper Iris? That's kinda cute actually.. but alas I am not a fan of Jupiter.. though I'll say this using Jupiter as a name is totally Ashley Tisdale haha. I don't hate it I'm just not loving it.

I am pretty neutral on middle names, I think its a good place to put more unusual or even somewhat silly names. Grace is pretty, but bland. I mean, she's named a after a crocodile, so I can't be too fussed by anything they chose.
Jupiter is quite aggressively masculine to me. I like Iris.

I don’t think she’s named after a crocodile. Bindi said Grace has been used on both sides of the family way back to the 1700’s on her husband’s side.

They mean Bindi was named after a crocodile, I think

Yes! Bindi is named after a crocodile.

Warrior kind of made me flinch. Especially next to Grace, which I do like as a first name. I don't exactly get how that honors her father. But who am I to say?Jupiter always feels heavy, for lack of a better word, to me on a girl. But I sort of like it with Iris.

Her father's charity is called Wildlife Warriors so I'd assume that's where the honoring comes in :)

I agree Jupiter is heavy. I would have preferred Juniper myself though I don't hate it

I think Jupiter Grace would be neat to see for a boy. Jupiter for a girl strikes me as thoughtless and lightweight.Grace is one of my least favorite girl names, but Grace Warrior doesn't seem that terrible...better than Grace Harper.

being from Oklahoma ...One of my first associations with Warrior is Eddie Warrior, one of the big women's prisons in the state. (The other one being Mabel Bassett.)

Well, my association is the Golden State Warriors, who are awesome. ;)

Grace Warrior?That’s so dumb.

Onward, Christian Soldiers? Fight the good fight, with all thy might? Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armour on? Neither appealing nor particularly 21st-century (I hope!), but in its way, all too predictable.

Bindi wrote on instagram that Warrior Irwin are her middle names in honor of her dad. I like the meaning behind Grace, they're honoring relatives on both Chandler and her side, but I was expecting something more exciting and was hoping they'd use Stevie. Also, Ashley Tisdale's daughter is Jupiter Iris which I think is so cool.

I strongly dislike Stevie, it sounds so dirty to me for some reason, such an unattractive sound. I wish they had gone with Stephanie. Warrior looks so harsh. I dislike Jupiter on girls but Iris is better than Grace in the middle.

Grace is nice, but Warrior is jarring next to it. Self-consciously jarring.
Jupiter Grace is just plain dumb. Jupiter is a god's name. It's like naming a boy Diana Patrick.

Irwin is the middle name.Warrior is a bit odd, Stephanie (for Steve Irwin) would have been nicer.Grace is okay. I used to love it but it sounds a bit unattractive to me now. It was her great grandma's name so that is nice.Jupiter just makes me think of that awful movie "Jupiter Rising" that was really dumb and Grace as a middle name is super-filler.In general I wish people would leave Grace alone for a while, it has been so overused lately I can't even see its beauty anymore (and I know I once did).I feel like Grace is way more overused than Rose now, as a middle name.
