Though I love them all, Marie would probably be my favorite. Marie-Rose would be so adorable on a child. Just delightful.

Grace

Victoria. It's a name that's definitely growing on me.

From favorite to least:

---

Marie ~ Is a top favorite of mine atm. I think meeting a little Marie would be SO refreshing and adorable. Plus I'd buy her a bunch of Aristocats stuff! One of my favorite Disney movies!
Rose ~ Similar feel to Marie for me. So refreshing and pretty.
Victoria ~ A nice name but I knew a lot growing up in the 90's so it's lost it's appeal to me.
Mary ~ Nice, I know one in her mid twenties, she's one of the nicest people I've met! Not something I'd personally use, however.
Grace ~ My MIL's name but I'm not overly fond. It's pretty but seems overdone.

I like them in this order...

---

Rose
Grace
Mary
Marie
Victoria

---

Rose is really boring as a middle name but sweet, simple and refreshing as a first name. Grace is lovely but so popular. Mary and Marie are nice but have religious vibes for me. Victoria was really popular in my own age group here, and I know so many Vickys, it seems dated to me.

Tough choice! I think I'll go with Grace, but Rose and Mary were close seconds (speaking of which, what about Rosemary?). I also like Marie a lot. It's so refreshing as a first name.

---

Victoria is a lovely name that's never done much for me.

Hi Perrine !!!

---

Grace 8/10: I really like it recently. I find it elegant, clear and glittering. I like it also because of Grace Kelly. I love her charme and its life of Monegasque Princess consort.

---

Victoria 8/10: Among my favourite since I was a teenager. Simple spelling and pronounciation but great history.

---

Rose 7/10: I used to love it because of Titanic (it is still my favourite film). Rose is beautiful and charming and her story always move me. But this name is too popular in the English-skeaking world it is so spread that nobody still think on Titanic lol.

---

Mary / Marie 6/10 same rating because I can see only the religious link. I prefer Manon.

Rose - I've never cared for Rose. It just seems too, I don't know, I imagine a lot of chintz and frills and a weak chin.

---

Grace - I think Grace is beautiful. If it wasn't so popular, I'd definitely use it.

---

Mary- I love Mary. I think it's so sweet.

---

Victoria - I've never cared for Victoria. It's over-the-top and I dislike the nicknames. I don't like the associations with Queen Victoria or the Victorian age. It feels a bit flashy and gauche to me.

---

Marie - I have such weird associations with Marie. To me it sounds so country bumpkin old lady.

---

My favorite of these is Mary and then Grace.

In order of preference:

---

Victoria
Rose
Grace
Marie
Mary

---

Victoria is the perfect name IMO. It's beautiful, elegant, sophisticated, and strong. I love the Roman goddess and the queen association.

---

Rose is a beautiful name also. Red and petal like of course.

---

Grace is pretty enough.

---

Marie is meh but it's better than Mary.

---

Mary is boring and generic. I don't like it for that reason.

Rose: it's okay, but I knew a nasty girl with this name when I was in middle school.

---

Grace: this is the one I like the best. I love the nickname Gracie.

---

Mary: okay...

---

Victoria: okay. My favorite nickname out of it is Tori.

---

Marie: I like it better than Mary, but I'm still pretty neutral to it.

Rose: It's one of my longtime favorite names, because she was one of the first book characters I ever created, but I'm not really into it right now. It seems a little boring to me.
Grace: I feel the same way about Grace as I do about Rose: It's a longtime favorite, but it feels boring.
Mary: It's okay. I like it and don't simultaneously, haha. I have a friend named Mary.
Victoria: I love this. I feel like Mary Victoria is gorgeous. It's my favorite,
Marie: It's my mother's middle name, but I hate it. I don't know why.
