Aside from it being generic and a filler name these days, I know literally over 15 girls with that middle name. However, this is the icing on the cake.
One of my FB "friends" posted a picture this morning. It's from the "Dedication" at their church yesterday (I don't know what that is...but it was for recently born babies.) She posted the picture of the church bulletin with the children's names...

Re: Exhibit A as to why I hate the mn "Grace"...
I completely agree. It's the new "Ann" or "Lynn".
I know at least three little girls (two of whom are Ella Grace) with the middle name and two little girls with Grace as a first name.

I am sad that Rose is like that now as well.

My cousin's (Baptist) church does dedications, its kind of a baptism-y thing. You don't get officially baptised until you're older and choose to become a member of the church but they "dedicate" infants.

Meh.
I think it often gets passed down in order to honor family so it does not really bother me. I'm all for honoring family.
However, I would really like to see it used as a FN more often.
