Where are all the baby Alices?

It's a name we're considering but after growing up with a massively popular name and all the irritations that come with that myself, I'm slightly put off by how quickly it's jumping up the rankings. It's gone from 50th in 2007 to 27th last year.

Having said that, the youngest I know personally is a teenager. So where are all the baby Alices?! Do you know any and where in the country are they?

Thank you!

the one I know is 13. There is one other Alice in her school (age about 9). We are in the US. I think Alice (like Catherine, Mary, Elizabeth and a few others) is a classic timeless name so it doesn't matter how many or how few people have it - it can't be fad name or a popular name- it is just a good classic name for a woman.

I know a 5 year old Alice in London. It's a beautiful name. I'm surprised it's so high in the rankings as that's the only one I know.

I also don't know or haven't heard of any baby Alices. The youngest one I know is 18!
