JoyGrace seems a little done to death. Besides, at Christmastime, a Joy would have a zillion random objects with her name on it!

Joyso much more positive, and unusual too. How many young Joys do you know??

I like both but prefer Joy. I think Joy is a nicer meaning too.

GraceBoth are pretty, but I much prefer the look and sound of Grace. I feel like it ages a little better than Joy.

Can't go wrong with either, but right now, I prefer Joy because it's much less common and has a VERRRRY slightly less Christian connotation to it.

Grace doesn't appeal to me at all - seems like trumpeting the parents' belief system. But Joy is a universal emotion not tied to any specific group (to which the named child may well not align herself with in later life anyway!) and since the world needs more cheerfulness, I'd use Joy without a backward glance.

Def. Joy... Not as trendy right now and have always preferred it anyway.

Joy. No, Grace. Joy. Grace. Joy. Grace. Gah! It's so hard to pick because I love both and would happily use either. Since I like them equally, I guess I'll go with the less common option--Joy...oh, but Grace has better associations and such a sweet nickname. *wibbles* I'll go with Grace after all.

Joy. It isn't overused these days, and I prefer the sound of Joy to that of Grace, which has never done much for me.

Joy. Grace is lovely but is so common that it's lost a bit of that loveliness for me. And Joy is such a happy, bright name!
