dtds are due in less than 2 weeks. dd1 is Lydia Victoria, twin 1 will be Heidi Matilda and twin two is the one we're struggling with. We're torn between Kitty Alice or Alice Kitty. It would be Kitty (from the 16th century) NOT Catherine etc as it is a family name.

Basically, we feel Alice is a safe name no-one will object to, Kitty will raise eyebrows (esp on dh side - my side I would hope will like it due to family connection.). I've met a few Alices but no Kittys - thought I know they exist on here.

Help me make a decision, please!

Definitely Alice. Alice is lovely.Kitty might be ok as a middle name,but is a ridiculous first name imho.

Kitty Alice.

Alice Kitty flows better.

I like Kitty - generally not a fan of full names that sound like nicknames, but I think Kitty (like Kate) works well as a name in its own right, and I can imagine it for an adult woman as well as a little girl. It's a fairly well known name - why would it raise eyebrows?

Lydia and Kitty/Catherine are the two younger sisters in Pride and Prejudice, so people might think that was your inspiration, but that's not necessarily an awful thing :)

Kitty Alice I really like.

I've seen too many people calling DD Alice over the last few years - and it'll probably get more popular.
