Ada Emilia
Alice Emilia

Which sounds prettier? Not looking for alternative suggestions though as it's taken me ages to find these names! DS has chosen the middle name

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Another vote for Alice :-)

MikeUniformMike · 11/10/2017 19:46

Alice.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/10/2017 19:32

Alice Emilia.

Smoliver · 11/10/2017 17:53

Love Ada but slightly prefer Alice Emilia

Mollie85 · 11/10/2017 17:39

Alice x10000

Ada is such a hard sound.

verystressedmum · 11/10/2017 17:37

Ada is not great. Alice Emilia is lovely though

AnyaMoondial · 11/10/2017 17:32

Alice!

Loyly · 11/10/2017 17:23

Ada

Kardashianlove · 11/10/2017 17:22

I think Ada would be misheard as Ava, as long as you don't mind keeping correcting people. I love the name though. Alice is pretty too.

I don't think either flow particularly well with the middle name. I think it's that they both end start with a vowel. They wouldn't be said together often though so I don't suppose it really matters.

Alice. But I may be biased... 😏

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/10/2017 16:56

Alice Emilia.
Sorry but Ada Emilia sounds ridiculous

PandorasXbox · 11/10/2017 16:49

Alice. Ada is awful.

Sallylondon · 11/10/2017 16:46

I’d go for Alice. Because Ada is a relatively common name on the continent, pronounced Ar-da, and I suspect you’re thinking that your baby will be Ay-da?
With Alice, there is no confusion.

LionAllMessy · 11/10/2017 16:44

Ada.

SecretNutellaFix · 11/10/2017 16:42

Ada would be fab. Ada Lovelace wrote what is considered the very first computer programme.

ChocolateCrunch · 11/10/2017 16:40

Alice, definitely

bridgetreilly · 11/10/2017 16:40

Ada is lovely.

stevensupersquirrel · 11/10/2017 16:39

Alice! Ada Emilia is jarring; doesn't flow.

stevensupersquirrel · 11/10/2017 16:39

Alice! Ada Emilia is jarring; doesn't flow.

jollygoose · 11/10/2017 16:37

Pleasedon`t call her Ada it sounds so hard - Alice is classic and ageless Ada will quickly be a short fashion span.

Justgivemesomepeace · 11/10/2017 16:34

Alice no competition. Love it

BeeMyBaby · 11/10/2017 16:33

Alice

Ionarocks · 11/10/2017 16:31

I think I slightly prefer the name Alice but both sound lovely.

BewareOfDragons · 11/10/2017 16:31

Love Ada

SeveredPixieBits · 11/10/2017 16:30
