[Opinions] Re: Grace
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
I like it alright.
I think it sounds graceful without being too much of a word - it's familiar enough as a name, that it's not as totally word-y as, say, Faith.
And of course it doesn't mean the graceful kind of grace anyway - it is more meaningful than that, so that is cool.
Gracie is really appealing as someone's name (nickname), if I think about it. I don't often think about it, because Grace feels kind of generic lately. But I do like it.
Grace makes a decent middle name, because of the meaning. But it does feel a bit cheesy and boring. Boring middles are fine ... but I love the feeling of discovering something interesting when I learn someone's middle name, and the idea of hiding something cool in my own middle name (mine was Lynn so that is just hypothetical I guess). To me, that is more fun than having a combo that flows like a double-name does. ___ Grace combos do that, imo, they flow like a double-name, like Rose and Lynn and Anne and Marie combos do. Even Elizabeth and Jane combos do.
