Ok, looking for a little help. We are considering Karis for our daughter. I realize the preferred spelling on this board is Carys, but we like the greek Karis which means Grace. That being said, is it dumb to use Grace as a middle name, when the first name means that? To me it is kind of like naming her "Grace Grace", but hubby says no one will know or care. Thoughts? Also, any other suggestions for middle name? Thanks!
Eh, I don't think the Grace Grace thing is that big of a deal unless you plan to move to Greece. I am pretty sure my name means grace in Hebrew but no one knows that. I personally think Carys looks more elegant.
Anna means grace and I can't tell you how many girls I know named Anna Grace...
It's likely that no one will even know, much less make the connection or care. Ditto PP who said just decide if it bothers YOU. I personally wouldn't name my kid something that means Grace Grace, but that's only because I'm OCD about that stuff and it would drive me nuts. It has never bothered me on someone else's kid.
I like the name carys (or your spelling Karis) I just wouldn't use grace with it personally. Only because meaning are very important to me. Pretty name though
Re: Karis
I feel like Karis does need a more feminine sounding middle name. I like Karis Elizabeth, Karis Marie, Karis Nicole, Karis Anne, Karis Kathleen...
