  1. Martha. Gorgeous name.
  2. Alice. Okay, but a bit boring.
  3. Rosie. Just naff on an adult.

However, if you went for Rose, then I think I would put Rose above Alice. Rose is classy and sophisticated.

alice beautiful name second would be rosie

TheNextMrsDepp · 24/07/2010 21:29

Martha.

My arch enemy at school was called Alice, and I've never liked the name since....

Mollydoggerson · 24/07/2010 21:27

Martha

jaffacake2 · 24/07/2010 21:04

My daughter is Rosemary Alice (Rosie as a little child,now Rose as a teen)

Meaning of the names are kind (Alice) herb (Rosemary) which kind of suits her!

  1. Rose (not keen on Rosie as the name on the birth cert but would be good as a nickname)
  2. Martha
  3. Alice
weaselm4 · 24/07/2010 20:58

Martha (I've got a 17 month old one and the name suits her really well )

KristinaM · 24/07/2010 20:51

Alice

or Rosie as long as its short for a more formal name

UnholyMoley · 24/07/2010 20:50

Martha.

Tillyscoutsmum · 24/07/2010 20:48

I vote Martha - gorgeous name. The others are both pretty though

NoahAndTheWhale · 24/07/2010 20:48

Alice

telsa · 24/07/2010 20:42

Alice - lovely and classic.

freerangeeggs · 24/07/2010 19:49

They're all lovely.

Alice is very pretty, but Martha is a bit more interesting. Rosie is lovely but I'd prefer it as a nickname for Rose - I met an adult Rosie and I did find it slightly twee on her.

Alice or Martha, then :D

Pogue909 · 24/07/2010 19:46

Martha!

blametheparents · 24/07/2010 19:44

Martha - definitely!

stressheaderic · 24/07/2010 19:42

I love all 3 too, you have great taste! Would prob go for Alice as is DD's middle name.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 24/07/2010 19:38

Alice. Middle name for DD2. Love it.

bubbles12 · 24/07/2010 19:32

Love all three names! My DD1 is an Alice so that gets my vote although Rose and Martha were my other 2 choices!!

autodidact · 24/07/2010 19:25

All nice. I would choose Rosie, I think. Prefer Rosa though.

hocuspontas · 24/07/2010 19:23

Alice of course. My Alice is gorgeous. I don't know how popular it is where you are now but in 18 years since she was born I've only known about a dozen. Rosie is too popular. I like Martha as well but not as much as Alice!

3plusbump · 24/07/2010 19:19

Alice

Fayrazzled · 24/07/2010 14:34

Alice too (but I'm biased as my little girl is Alice).
