Names like Alice?

I'm 36 wks and love the name Alice but DP's sister (though not pregnant and not planning to be soon) really wants it. DP and his ex-wife already used the grandmothers name which his sister really wanted so I'd feel bad for stealing this one too! Are there any similar names you can think of other than Alicia - too similar and too American sounding for me.

That is really nice of you to be so thoughtful and not use the name she likes, especially as she has fertility issues. You don't see that a lot on here.

I have just spotted your name OP and I have suggested Jennifer and Rose so I must have subconciously seen it.

Long shot but what about Wallis? (as in Edward and Mrs Simpson)

She has fertility issues though so I feel like stealing it is saying she'll never have kids...daft I know but that's how she'd see it. I like Tilly too but DD is Ellie so it's a bit similar! Quite like Elsie, but same problem again.

I will say what others will be thinking: Use Alice if you really want to. She may never have a girl and no-one can reserve a name.

My favourite girls name at the moment is Tilly. I love it!
