Middle Name to go with Grace

mandy_mary · January 2010

So we want to name our little girl Grace and are having a hard time picking out a middle name. Does Grace Joanne (after my mother) sound too old fashioned? We'd end up calling her Gracie Jo.. I like using middle names my mom has always called me Manda Mary... Anyway, let me know what you think or if you have any better suggestions. Thanks!

It doesn't flow well to me, but I like Gracie Jo.

I would suggest maybe Grace Elizabeth.

Go for it - it's sentimental and old fashioned is in anyway:) Naming her after your mom would never be a mistake!

I knew a Grace Ellen- which I thought was pretty

(Lurking) My niece is Grace Ann and my grandmother is Grace Marie.

This! And FWIW I think it's super cute! If we were having a girl her middle name would have been either Joy or Joanne, my moms name is Joy Joanne and I wanted to use either Smile

I really like Gracie Jo. I would say go for it!

I agree with the others, go with it!

Try it out for a few days, say it out loud, I suspect it will grow on you and you'll not be able to imagine anything else.

We're naming our little girl Grace Ellen, for similar family reasons. It also seemed really awkward to me at first, and we played around with other combinations - mostly Grace Elizabeth, Grace Lindsey, and Grace Katherine - but none of them seemed quite right. Now I can't think of anything but Grace Ellen.
