Is grace considered a Christian name? Or would it work for English name for gittle?

I have a very frum cousin who goes by Grace in her corporate role. It's a beautiful name. I know a Gittel who is Gail, but that's a bit old-fashioned.

According to Babycenter, Gitty is on the list of top 100 girls names starting with G. Why look further?

While it is probably more popular among Christians, I have met Jewish women named Grace in English (Chana, in Hebrew).

If you are looking for a girl's name that starts with a hard G sound, there aren't many, so if you like the name Grace, or if it has special meaning for you, I say go ahead and use it.

To me, Gloria sounds way more Christian than Grace. Grace is fine, it’s literally the English version of Chana.

Everything else I can think of, like Glenda or Gladys, is super old-fashioned.

What about Gabby? It’s typically for Gabriella but then Grace doesn’t really translate either.

I know two Gittels who are Gail in English and one who is Gwen in English.
If you call her Gila, she can be Gilli in English.

nothing personal but Gina sounds very Italian and Glenda would not saddle a kid with this outdated unpopular name
while Grace does sound goyshe to me it is a pretty name
Gitty is easy to pronounce and so don't feel it "needs" an "english" name
