Girls names are so hard!

We're settled on our top 3 boys names but finding it hard to choose girls names that we love as much as Alice, our lg's name.

We like these, can you suggest any more? And what do you think of these with Alice? We've looked at so many lists that the names all blend into one!

Rose
Elodie
Beatrice
Margot

I've also added Juno and Tess to my list, though not sure if my OH will agree!
Help!

We are having the opposite problem to you!!

Our girls names are:

Freya
Scarlet
Erin

Hannah
Carla

I think Erin goes well with Alice.

Of the names you've suggested, I think Rose or Margot goes best with Alice.

Wow so many lovely ideas here, thank you!

TileTileTile - our boys names are Jude, Henry and George. Though OH isn't 100% sold on George and I have some concerns that alice might think I'm giving birth to peppa pig's brother..!
I love Erin but it's the name of our niece who we see all the time so can't use it.

MrsBellefleur - definitely similar taste, ive considered 7 of the names on your list! Most have been vetoed by OH though.

Oooo Lucy is a good match

Love Anna too classic

Lucy is my sister in law's name so that's a no go, sadly.
Anna was on our long list, with Annie!

Rose is lovely with Alice

I love all of your girl names. Juno and Tess are gorgeous too. (We have a baby Margot.) With Alice my favourites are Rose, Margot or Tess.
Elodie and Iris are lovely but I don't love them quite as much with Alice when said out loud. Same goes for the repeated 'c' in Alice and Beatrice. That said, they're all great.

So many lovely comments, thank you!

Mclaren37 - what's the reaction been like to Margot? I think it's lovely!
