Amelia, Alice or Anna

[carrotjuice]

We are trying to decide between Amelia, Alice or Anna and would value your opinion. Thanks

Alice or Anna

Amelia is a bit erm... dunno not got a good vibe for me.

[LittleBellaLugosi]

Amelia - bit old lady victorian child, ghastly woman in vanity fair

Alice - bloody awful Alice in the Archers, could never have good connotations because of her

Anna - nice, classic, larvely.

[LoopyLena]

I really like Amelia, another variation that is very popular at the moment is Amalie (pronounced Am-a-lee).

Name association is a pig...you'll always think of something or someone to associate with...Alice in Wonderland, Alice on The Vicor Of Dibley..Anna Ryder Richardson... (not that there's anything wrong with those people!)

Just asked my 16 year old Step dd and she said Amelia too!

[notnowbernard]

I really like Anna, but there are LOADS of them round my way!

Alice is sweet

Don't like Amelia at all

[hf128219]

Alice all the way! That is my DD's middle name

[Neenztwinz]

Alice Alice Alice - great name

[Plonker]

Anna. Lovely name.

Not keen on Alice and really don't like Amelia ...

[AbbeyA]

I like all 3-difficult to put in order but probably:

1. Anna
2. Amelia
3. Alice

[ScareyBitchFeast]

all of them - only reason i didnt chose amelia was because i didnt like shortened amy

[LoopyLena]

But would Ann or Ali or Al be nicer? All names get shortened at school, my DS2 gets called Char, sounds like a cuppa tea!!!!

[Hulababy]

Order I prefer; Anna, Amelia, Alice.

TBH I like all three in general.

[MintChocAddict]

Alice very nice. One of my faves.

[BabyBaby123]

none of them!

How about Amelie??

[frankbestfriend]

All lovely names, but in order of preference, favourite first

Anna
Amelia
Alice

How about Anna Amelia?

[MommyHasaHeadache]

Anna gets my 1st vote, followed by Alice, then Amelia.

[MadBadandWieldingAnAxe]

Alice!

[totalmisfit]

Anna

[Liffey]

Amelia, just don't like that meeeeeel sound in the middle. I know it's very popular though so nobody else minds I think. I think of it as being a variation of Emily, and on that line of thinking I prefer Emily, or if you want to be different, Romilly, or Camellia. (like the flower)

Alice, very sweet but still strong, very classic. A really good name choice, but although I really like it, I'd use it in the middle. Just seems more like a middle name to me!

Anna. I really like this, it's very simple but not weak. It's not going to date like Ella or Emma will. Even though I really like Anna, I think some people might think it's not quite enough of a name... Maybe?

Annabel is a bit stronger imo. Can still be Anna if you choose, but Annabel Alice flows really well. I like Anna, I just feel I want to accessorise it!!

Dooes the name have to begin with A? I like Juliet Alice and it popped in to my head, or Juliet Amelia (I can take it in the middle).

[carrotjuice]

Thanks for all your help - looks like the general feeling is:
1 Anna
2 Alice
3 Amelia
We would really welcome any more comments.

[Liffey]

That'd be how I'd rank them too.

I was just reading this thread and I noticed that nobdoy dislikes Anna.

[LouMacca]

For me its

1. Alice
2. Anna
3. Amelia

All pretty names.

[Sazisi]

I love Alice
Really like Anna too
Amelia, not so much

[Sazisi]

An advantage of Anna is that it's used all over the World

[KnobblyBoneForkHandles]

Alice or Anna and out of the two I prefer Anna.

Amelia is very popular round here.

[wheresthehamster]

Dd1 and dd3 are two of those names. Great choices!
