We have seriously considered Grace Anne ourselves. If you want something unquestionably unique then I vote for Grace Evelyn. Grace Annabelle would be the cutest little girl name, but it might not roll off your tongue in frustration, "Grace Annabelle, get over here NOW!" and I don't picture it maturing as well as the little girl cute fit. Congrats, you'll probably know the right answer when you meet her in person!

Thanks Nicci! I really appreciate your response!

I'm hoping that you're right and that we'll know when we meet her which name is the right one. My husband really likes Grace Anne because it's the easiest to say....especially with our very long, not so easy to say, last name.

Like you, I think Grace Annabelle is the cutest little girl name and is the most creative of the names we chose, but have a hard time picturing an older professional woman with the name Annabelle. Or even a rebellious teen. I just think she'll hate us for it one day...although I love it.

We think Grace Evelyn has the opposite problem....it's just so "old" sounding. However, this was my mother's name. We go back and forth on whether we want to honor my mother, or give Grace the chance to have a name that's all her own.

Finally, Elizabeth is in the mix because it's such a classic middle name. I love the name, but it seems like every Grace that's been born recently has the middle name Elizabeth. Since Grace is so popular right now, we like something a little more unique for a middle name. And again, we have such a long last name, that Grace Elizabeth is a mouthful.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for voting and helping us make our decision. I can't believe we're down to just a couple of days!!!

No wonder you can't decide! They are all excellent choices! (I voted for Annabelle, because I find that name particularly charming, but I think Evelyn is a remarkably pretty and not-often-used name.)

Good luck!
