I like Edie/Edith or Alice, but not together.

I don't usually care whether or not names flow together but Edie Alice don't sound well at all, they detract from each other. Alice is lovely.

What about Martha Alice or Alice Martha?

I think they're both lovely but Edith flows better than Edie.

Doesn't make me thin Idi Amin though!

I like them both but think two names beginning with vowels sound a bit awkward together.

I like Alice...Edie is ok but don't think I would use it...I have to say I don't think they flow too well together.

I love both of those names - they are at the top of our shortlist at the moment! - but I am not sure about them together either. Sorry!

It's funny - I didn't think Edie was very popular. I guess you think you are the only ones coming up with names but there will always be others having the same ideas.

Good luck with choosing a name!

Ooooo I know there's something wrong with me but I absolutely hate the name Alice.

I like Edie though, but think it would go better with a second name that starts with a consonant rather than another vowel.

We had Edie Matilda at the top of our list last time. Turns out he was an Alexander. Love, love, love Edie.
