I kind of prefer [name]Nora[/name] because [name]Grace[/name] is very popular, but I love seeing [name]Grace[/name] as a first name, it’s always shoved in the middle.
I know several Graces, almost all of which go by [name]Gracie[/name] which I really cannot stand. [name]Nora[/name] on the other hand is stunning!
[name]Grace[/name] got my vote! It’s just so classic and timeless despite its popularity, and [name]Grace[/name] has been perennially well-loved and well-used, so I don’t think its popularity now is any crazier than what it used to be in years past. Besides, [name]Grace[/name] is just so stunning! [name]Nora[/name] is nice and sweet, but I just don’t love it, personally. I just finished reading a story with a [name]Nora[/name] in it, and while I loved the book, even that couldn’t reignite my love for [name]Nora[/name], sadly… it’s a lovely name, just not for me anymore. I do really like them together, thought–[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Nora[/name] are very sweet for sisters.
Good luck!
It’s too bad you want to save one for later because [name]Nora[/name] [name]Grace[/name] would’ve been an awesome combo! But I can see why you like both! 
It is so interesting that most people I have spoken to say [name]Grace[/name] but in the poll here [name]Nora[/name] is the clear favourite! i wonder why that is…
[name]Grace[/name] was the name of a very pretty princess ([name]Grace[/name] [name]Kelly[/name]), and the name itself is so sophisticated. Plus, [name]Gracie[/name] is such an adorable nickname or if you don’t like that there’s always [name]Gray[/name] [name]Gray[/name]. Forgot to mention, there is a beautiful song by the late [name]Jeff[/name] [name]Buckley[/name] called “[name]Grace[/name]”<3. Perhaps you could change the spelling–Grayce.
If you look at the numbers there are way more Graces than Noras. Meaning way more people pick [name]Grace[/name] over [name]Nora[/name] so it’s not surprising that the people you meet pick [name]Grace[/name] over [name]Nora[/name]. With Berries popularity is a real strike against a name. I knew before even looking at the results that [name]Nora[/name] would have it by a mile. I personally really love both.
I love both, and I think they’d make a great sibset! I do agree with the pp that [name]Grace[/name] is more common and that it’s probably why more people pick it in real life. People like what they’re most familiar with and what seems ‘current’. I really do like both, but [name]Nora[/name] is on my personal long list so I’d go with that one first. I so also like that it’s a bit more uncommon (but still familiar). Also if you have two daughters, I just feel like [name]Nora[/name] seems like an older sister name more than [name]Grace[/name] (I have no idea why, and that shouldn’t sway you as that’s entirely subjective, but there it is).
[name]Even[/name] though I know 3 Graces, I still think [name]Grace[/name] is sweet and timeless. [name]Nora[/name] even though it’s a nice name it’s just NMS.
