In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Grace yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
We're Catholic. Grace has always been a meaningful word to us before it was a name. When our daughter was born, it fit. It just fit.
— Michael, Boston MA, 2015
I wanted a word name that wasn't cutesy. Grace. Dignity built in from the start. She is, at age nine, currently neither dignified nor graceful, but she has time.
— Jennifer, Nashville TN, 2015
