I'm pregnant with baby no.4 (3rd girl) and can't decide between the above 3 names...

Alice - I really like but the 1st letter is the same as the 1st letter as one of my other daughters which isn't ideal, IMO. Also no decent nns...

Emilia - I love and also love Emi/Emmy but I dislike Amelia (irrational I know). I like Emily but know quite a few and I don't like it enough...

Beatrice - I love and also love Bea/Bebe but it's a little bit more unusual/old-fashioned than my other dcs names...I know it's "in" at the moment but the other 3 are classics/more popular..

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Alice is beautiful, timeless and classless.

Emilia - lovely alternative to Popular Emily.

Beatrice - I think that it might date. It's very now, but I'm not sure that it will stand the test of time.

Alice
Emilia

I love all three. I would eliminate Alice if you already have a child with a name beginning with A - at some point, they'll start getting letters addressed to Miss A Jones and that will be annoying.

I love Emilia - but will it really, really annoy you if people call her Emily or Amelia? It would me but I am quite irritable.

So I'd go with Beatrice. I do know a few but it isn't all that popular. I also know a baby Emilia.

I have the same thing with names I love that start with the same letter, my theory is if you love the name go for it. Alice is lovely, Emilia second then Beatrice. X
