It began with her own name.

Gracy Reid’s parents chose her name after learning about Grace Darling, hoping their daughter would embody the qualities of generosity and care they saw in that story.

That choice shaped a lifelong fascination. She found herself thinking deeply about names — noticing them, asking where they came from, and wondering whether a name seemed to fit the person who carried it.

That long-held interest eventually became They Shall Be Called, and from the book grew this platform: a place where naming can be approached with prayer, meaning and intention rather than fashion alone.
