Voted yes, but really just because I love [name]Giselle[/name], I’m neutral to cold on [name]Grace[/name].

sowurz · January 10, 2013, 1:27am

I like [name]Grace[/name], but do not love it. I do feel like [name]Grace[/name] is a filler name but it’s my middle name so I think I can get away with it. I could not, for the life of me, come up with another middle name that I like. Thanks for the feedback, though

I like both names separately, but am not wild about the flow of them together. However, your last name could affect the way it all sounds when put together!

[name]Love[/name] [name]Grace[/name], hate [name]Giselle[/name], sorry! But it’s just a question of taste and thank goodness we don’t all like the same names

Lol, [name]True[/name]! [name]Just[/name] trying to get a feel for it and see how people react. I appreciate the honesty

I’d be happy to hear ‘[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Grace[/name]’ on a little girl : ) No problems here at all.

I don’t like either… And I don’t like them together

It’s NMS, but I wouldn’t have a bad reaction at all hearing it on someone elses baby

gigigibbons · January 10, 2013, 3:57am

I voted yes, since I think [name]Giselle[/name] is such a great name. [name]Grace[/name] is pretty but I would also look for alternate middle name options. I think even [name]Marie[/name] (being a 2-syllable name) would sound more fluid next to [name]Giselle[/name]. However, if you want to leave it as [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Grace[/name], there is the option of using [name]Gigi[/name] as a nickname! (No bias there right?! Haha.)

i think it’s very elegant. like it. i also like [name]Gisella[/name]. [name]Gisella[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is stunning too.

ashthedreamer · January 10, 2013, 7:52am

I voted like because individually, I like [name]Giselle[/name], and I love [name]Grace[/name], and I like most of the nns for [name]Giselle[/name] ([name]Gigi[/name], [name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ella[/name], etc.). I do prefer [name]Grace[/name] [name]Giselle[/name], though–by a mile–I think it flows better, and I really love the idea of a familiar, classic name with a more unexpected MN. I would love to meet a [name]Grace[/name] [name]Giselle[/name]. [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is lovely–I just don’t love it quite so much. But I’m guessing [name]Giselle[/name] is what you really love, not [name]Grace[/name], so ignore me.

Good luck!

I don’t like [name]Giselle[/name].

It sounds like “gee-sell grace”.

I just don’t like it. [name]Grace[/name] as a middle name is very expected and doesn’t enhance the name.

I didn’t mind the name [name]Giselle[/name], until my hubby pointed out that she might get stuck with the nickname Jizz, or might get teased because of it. Now I can’t hear the name without thinking of the word Jizz, as in semen.

[name]Grace[/name] is lovely.
