Grace is pretty far from dated. I think it would work fine.

I think it's overused to the point that it sounds cliché (especially when used as a MN or as part of a double FN) but not dated. The meaning is the only thing I like about it, so I'd rate it 3 or 4 out of 10.

Not dated at all, it's very popular and has been for a bit! I consider it classic. I love it and it would've been a top contender had our younger son been a girl. I'd definitely use it. I think it's sweet but sophisticated, it's strong, and it's a great meaning (religious-wise, not as in graceful).

I love Grace. I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like Gracie better. I don't think it's dated.

I love Grace and don't consider it dated at all (though it probably will be in 10 years or so). I'd give it 9/10 (it lost a point because I hate the nickname Gracie).

Listen to a preschooler say 'Gracie' and you'll see how much it sounds like crazy! I agree with you; a lost point, for sure. :-)

I like it, but it's very popular and was even #1 here (UK) in 2006. I'd give it 7/10.

Love the meaning, dislike the sound. More trendy than dated here. As a middle name it's a filler, like Rose or Mae, and as the back end of a hyphenated name I think it's quite tacky5/10?(2/10 for greasy Gracie)
