We decided on [name]Mia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] for our daughter’s name, but I REALLY like [name]Grace[/name] as a first name. Only problem is our last name is ‘Lo’, so [name]Grace[/name] Lo sounds a bit choppy, and if you say it together quickly, it could be heard as [name]Gray[/name] Slow.
What would you do? I don’t like any other form of the name [name]Grace[/name], I like the beauty and simplicity of just “[name]Grace[/name]”… I haven’t thought about middle names yet, just wondering if [name]Grace[/name] Lo would work.
Thanks for your suggestions
[name]Grace[/name] is such a timeless beauty and I have to say that I really don’t mind [name]Grace[/name] Lo. [name]Grace[/name] has a soft sound so it’s not as abrupt as some girls names can be (eg. [name]Blythe[/name] Lo). [name]Mia[/name] is ok but it seems much more trendy to me and won’t have the longevity of [name]Grace[/name]. I do think you may have to choose another middle name because [name]Grace[/name] [name]Mia[/name] Lo doesn’t have the best flow. Hey, that rhymes! Something longer in the middle spot like [name]Grace[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] or [name]Grace[/name] [name]Abigail[/name] would be best. If you love [name]Grace[/name] more than [name]Mia[/name], then go for it! [name]Grace[/name] will never go out of style. It’s so classy and elegant. Good luck!
Thanks [name]Mischa[/name]. We would definitely not use [name]Grace[/name] [name]Mia[/name], we’d be looking at alternate middle names. I’m first deciding whether [name]Grace[/name] Lo works
[name]Grace[/name] Lo isn’t the best flow in the world, but it’s not the worst either. If you love [name]Grace[/name] as a first, I think you should use it. She can certainly use her first, middle, and last, a la [name]Neil[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] [name]Harris[/name] and [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Parker[/name]. Suggestions for middles:
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Maria[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Adriana[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Angelina[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] Lo is beautiful. It’s so sweet and simple, but very sophisticated. Go for it! I have a [name]Grace[/name], myself. Her name isn’t as popular as I thought it would be, something I was worried about. Everytime I tell someone her name, I ALWAYS hear, “What a beautiful name!”. I think that 3 or 4 syllable mn would help the flow, if you’re still worried about it.

Good luck!
I see what you are saying about “[name]Gray[/name] Slow” if you say [name]Grace[/name] Lo quickly. However, it’s not the worst at all! When I say [name]Mia[/name] Lo, you can also argue it sounds like “Me a low” – so don’t worry about it!
You should avoid a mn that ends in A or L - or maybe other vowels to help with the flow

I think you should go with [name]Grace[/name] if you love it that much. gray slow isn’t embarassing in anyway. What about [name]Grace[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] Lo? You could use [name]Mia[/name] as a nickname then if you wish?

She would likely be [name]Grace[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] Lo
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] Lo is beautiful!
