I "met" two really cute babies at my job this week - 

Annagrace (one word, I asked)

and 

Maryanne

I love Maryanne. Annagrace, not so much. Annagrace's mom seemed a little sheepish about the name she picked. It was as if she had to defend her choice, but she no longer thought the name was such a good idea. It was odd.

WDYT?

Haha at least she eventually realised it might not be a great choice.

Anna Grace is cute, but one word... No. I hate it when two names are joined together. Unless it's really common like Maryanne or Leanne or.. I can't think of another but you know what I mean.

Anna Grace is really cute but as one word? Nah. You could mix up the syllables and misprounounce it horribly if you weren't really paying attention. Ann-ag-race. Silly mom, Anna and Grace are not combinable!

I think Maryanne is a cute name (little too cutesy for my taste, actually), but most people I know with the name either ditch the -anne or go by something entirely different (I know a Mimi and an Annie, both legally Mariannes).

I looked at Annagrace and though it said arrogance.

I think it's okay, I knew a girl named Anna-Kate in high school and I liked it!

I like Anna-Kate better, because they sound different and it isn't one word. I wouldn't like Annakate as a name. Anna and Grace are both so soft sounding, they kind of moosh together.

I like Annagrace! (but I agree with the person who said one might read it as 'arrogance' at first glance).
I'm not so fond of Maryanne, probably because Marianne is really common here =)

Where is it common? One the reasons I thougth it was so cute is that it is so unlikely here - very retro and quaint.

Common in The Netherlands...so don't worry ;)

Common here too, but it's mostly older people that I know with it.

I think it's better as two names. Anna Grace is adorable.
