And what about only Victoria Gali. What do you mean Gali?

Thanks everyone!

I was trying to get a feel on what most people would think...I never heard of the name myself and thought it was a bit odd, but wondered about others...I'm thinking it might be better to ask again and see if we can't get another name out of him! But thanks for everyone's input!

I think Grace Gali Victoria sounds better. But either way is fine.

Gali makes me think of a polite person with a very broad accent trying to say 'Golly!'. And I would avoid it at all costs.

Not knowing your ln, or how long it is, it's hard to judge the flow. I far prefer Victoria to Grace, so if your FIL insists, I'd swallow the two G names next to each other and go for Victoria Gali Grace LN.

I'm not saying that I like the name Gali or that I would ever encourage you to use it as a first name. But as a second middle name, sure, why not? It will make your daughter more distinctive name-wise, and give her more individuality than if you omit it. And it would be a nice gesture towards your father-in-law if you use it. I'm not saying that it would be "honoring" him, since using a name that another chooses is not my idea of honoring that person, but still it would be a nice gesture. Most people will never have any idea it's her second middle name, anyway, so don't worry that it's too strange. Even so, I do still believe that it will confer some extra individuality onto her.

I think you should just drop Gali; no idea how your father-in-law thought of that name (or where he'd heard it from).

Grace Victoria is a little plain, but lovely.

I don't really like Gali - it seems made up and honestly, I'd probably just assume it was a typo for Gail!

I think Grace Victoria is a nice combo, not something I'd ever use, but it sounds good. Gali would just ruin it, it sounds odd and out of place.

I don't care for it but what if you used Galilee. I think Grace Victoria Galilee is really adorable.

Ohh, Gali. I like it! It makes me think of Garland.

Grace is lovely as the first name. I'm glad you chose this one ^_^ So yes, I think
Grace Victoria Gali sound wonderful. Just Grace Victoria would feel a little plain to me too.

I think Grace Victoria is lovely as it is. Gali just sounds odd to me, don't like it, sorry.

I hear "golly" when I say it. I don't like it.
