861.0. "Grace/Grayce" by CSOA1::KOBILARCSIK () Thu Feb 11 1993 10:07

    
    I couldn't find this name in here, so if it is, please forgive and
    point me to the note.  
    
    I've always loved this name, my aunt spells hers Grayce and we've
    always called her Gracie.  I like Gracie as well as Grace so nicknames
    won't bother me.  
    
    Problem is, my husband hates this name for one reason, it reminds him
    of a little old lady! (regardless of my aunt who's only in her 50s).
    How do I dispell his association and get him to like it!
    
    And does anyone know the meaning of the name?
    
    thanks!

861.1	Meaning of Grace~grace	AMCUCS::MEHRING	`Thu Feb 11 1993 12:33`	13
	Meaning: God's Blessing (not surprising!) Derivation: English I also think this is a very pretty name - solid, traditional, yet still feminine and uncommon. Is your husband a Susan Dey fan? She played Grace Van Owen on L.A. law, and I wouldn't think she appears at all "old", so perhaps that could help change his perception of the name... Good luck, -Cori

	Another famous "Grace" was Grace Kelley. When I think of her, I remember the movies she made as a young starlet. She was a very beautiful, feminine, vibrant person. Chris

	It doesn't look like I'm going to convince him of Grace. He said only as a middle name. I want Rose as a middle name though. Well, this is the only name he really really objects to, so I guess I won't push anymore... Loreen

	Hi Loreen, Do you plan to switch the names then? Rosemarie Grace Kobilarcsik sounds pretty. Rose Grace Kobilarcsik sounds a little choppy, but is still pretty. Chris
861.5	Rose, Mary, Brianna	CSOA1::KOBILARCSIK	`Mon Mar 29 1993 12:31`	21
	I have consider using Rose as a first name. I also like the name Mary. Rosemarie is my godmother's name, she goes by Rose, my middle name is Rose and my Mother-in-laws name is Mary. Last time I was pregnant, I had Brianna or Bria picked out if it was a girl and I still go back to that once in a while. Rose Mary Kobilarcsik Mary Rose Kobilarcsik Mary Grace Kobilarcsik (sounds too much like a prayer????) Rose Grace ... is too choppy I agree. Brianna Rose Kobilarcsik Bria Rose Kobilarcsik .... I'll probably be finding out the sex in the next couple weeks so I will be able to concentrate more on names then. I have a feeling it's a girl which is why I haven't even thought of boys names yet! Do you think Brianna is too much with Kobilarcsik? Loreen
861.6		KYOA::CHANG	`Mon Mar 29 1993 15:18`	11
	Hi Loreen, I think Brianna sounds find with Kobilarcsik. Rose and Mary would work as middle names as well as teamed up: Brianna Rose Kobilarcsik Brianna Mary Kobilarcsik - Brianna Marie Kobilarcsik sounds better Brianna Rosemary Kobilarcsik Chris
861.7	brianna or briana	CSOA1::KOBILARCSIK	`Thu Apr 01 1993 15:14`	6
	Now we're trying to decide on the spelling of Brianna or Briana. I'd prefer less letters but can't decide if people would be more opt to pronounce it correctly if it's spelled Brianna rather than Briana... Loreen
