We have a short list of Miriam (Mitzy for short ) or Alice. Thoughts welcome please.

I love the name Alice, classic, timeless, feminine but strong - fab. Never known an Alice called Ally so think it should be easy to avoid.

I don't like Miriam much, think it's to do with a girl at school - sorry!

We could ditch the Mitzy nn and just see what she gets called. Would not like the nn Ally if we call her Alice, anyone know of this happening?

Miriam. We just gave our dd an arabic version, Maryam, as her middle name.

Miriam but not Mitzy as a nn. Sounds like a cat.

How about Mim, Mimi or Miri as nn?

I love the name Miriam, for a good reason!

I love Alice. Would have called either of my dds it but dh really doesn't like it for some reason.

Miriam (Mitzy)

I like Miriam but not the nn Mitzy so for that reason I prefer Alice.
