Baby Names

Girls names that begin with "G", middle name Grace

I realize that most people either really like alliteration with names or they really hate it. I respect both opinions, but I am one who likes the alliteration. 

Hypothetical baby girl will have the middle name Grace after my grandmother. I used to call my grandmother Gigi because as a child, I couldn't say Granny. For some reason, it came out Gigi and that's what stuck. 

If you wanted baby girl's initials to be GG and the middle name was Grace, what first name would you use? The only name I like right now is Gillian.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Re: Girls names that begin with "G", middle name Grace

  • I've always liked Gillian spelled that way, probably because I was equally terrified by/obsessed with The X-Files as a child.

    I like Gwendolyn, Gretchen and Giada as other "G" names...but other than that nothing really comes to mind. I also think Gretchen and Giada kind of have to go with a certain kind of last name.

  • I've always like Gabriella, but it doesn't really go with Grace, IMO.

    I like Giada or Gabriella for G names, but they were already mentioned.

  • I love Guinevere, although it's kind of a guilty pleasure name.

    My more mainstream choice is Genevieve.

    ETA - Love the GG because you called Gma Gigi, as my grandma was also gigi when I was a kid (actually because my cousin couldn't say granny LOL)

  • I'll vote for Gillian too (that's my name) and I like how it sounds with Grace.  Also like Georgia.

  • I do like Georgia Grace, however anything that is a J sound spelled with a G is out for me. Alliteration is with sound, not letters. If you're going to pick a name that starts with a G but makes a J sound (like Gillian or Gennifer) then just spell it with a J. There's no prize for being odd when naming your kid. But I really like the MN Grace!
  • I know it's not alliterative, but my suggestion would be Georgia Grace.  My friend has a niece with this name and I love it.

    Gillian is a legitimate spelling variation of Jillian. I prefer the G spelling. Gennifer is NOT a legitimate alternate spelling of Jennifer and would seem weird and forced. 

    And alliteration, while traditionally defined as the repetition of sounds, also refers to the repetition of a single consonant in any syllable that is pronounced (as in poetry). 

    That said... thanks everyone for your feedback. I can now add Georgia and Genevieve to the list.
