Grace is now firmly in the Top 20, but who would have thought such a simple and pure virtue name as Grace, which originally referred to divine grace, could ever become trendy? Because that's what Grace is, chosen by boldfaced names from Lance Armstrong to Ed Burns and Christy Turlington.

If Grace is too overused for you (there were well over seven thousand little Graces born last year), consider an exotic variation like Engracia or Graziella -- or the earthier Gracie. Some parents have even migrated into the boys' camp in search of Grace equivalents such as Gray or Grayson.
