William & Alice - beautiful, classic names Smile

sophiesmummie · 22/08/2010 20:55

William may get teased (Willy), but I still prefer it over Joshua.

Alice is lovely.

Joshua and William both great names, pref. Alice to Felicity.

I do like Joshua, but I am les keen on the nn Josh. Not so keen on Felicity.

William is also very popular as well.

meandjoe · 22/08/2010 19:37

Alice is lovely.

I prefer Joshua but it is very popular which wouldn't put me off but it may do some people. Not so keen on William, don't like that kids will make the inevitable willy association!!

William and Alice

BelligerentGhoul · 22/08/2010 19:33

William and Alice, though I lik Felicity too. Not fond of Joshua.

DetectivePotato · 22/08/2010 19:30

Joshua, fab name!
I like both your girls names. At a push I would say Felicity.

Mrsmackie · 22/08/2010 14:53

We have an Alice so I would definitely go with that - we get so many compliments and I think it is a lovely, timeless name and not overly popular.
Out of your boys' names I prefer William

Shaz10 · 22/08/2010 14:31

William and Alice.

But if you're due in 3 days, stick with the shortlist and don't decide yet. We had 4 names ready and chose after - it was easier once we saw him. :)

I love Alice.

William and Joshua are both lovely. Do you have a preference for the short versions? Will/Bill/Josh?
