I think Sophia is beautiful. Gracie sounds a bit too 1950's to me. Just opinion though

I think they're both really lovely and elegant names. I would really advise that if you go for Gracie then name her Grace and use Gracie as a pet name - you never know what your daughter might end up doing in life, and people will probably take her more seriously as Grace. From personal experience, my husband has this problem; his name is Jamie, and people are always assuming that it's a nickname and calling him James - it can get a bit annoying sometimes, and he often wishes he'd been called James for the more 'official' stuff. Also, my name is Grace, and I like the fact that my family call me Gracie, but everyone else calls me Grace. It means that I get called Gracie by the people I care most about, as a sign of affection.
Anyway, well done for picking two lovely names - I'm biased towards Grace for obvious reasons, but Sophia is lovely too!

They are both fine name
I would name her Grace and call her Gracie, one day she will be a 40 year old women, Gracie is cute for a 5 year old, but for a 40 year old, you not so cute
Name her Grace, and Call her Gracie
Sophia Grace is pretty
Grace Sohphia is okay, I like the other way
Either will work
You both will get a name

Sophia is a nice old fashioned name and new mothers today tend to go for the names that our grandmothers had, Gracie is cute but reminds me of George Burns when he would tell his wife, say goodnight Gracie. Either way she is your child, name her what you think is best and some times when you look at a child, you can tell if the name fits the face.

I prefer Gracie to Sophia, but only because I knew a girl called Sophia!!
They are both nice names, but I think Gracie is more girly, and a very cute name!!
Congratulations and good luck hun x

Sophia!
I do like Gracie but I think Gracie is too nicknamey and wouldnt age well. It would be nice as a nickname for Grace?
Sophia Grace is really cute and you can still use Gracie as a nickname for her?
Good luck! x

I would have the same problem as i love both those names. But i think i have decided on Sophia Grace which i just think is so beautiful and girley. You and your husband both get the name you like. Don't think Sophia Gracie works tho.
