Having dd in May. Already have ds called Alex. We really like Alice for a girl.

The names are just too similar aren't they?

Yes, too similar.

I was in the same boat. I found them too similar.

Too close I think although both lovely name. Elise or Alicia would work perhaps

I know someone with two DCs with these names and it’s confusing! So yes, too similar.

Afraid so, have been in a baby class where (boy) Alex was repeatedly called Alice by facilitator, much to his mum's chagrin. Can imagine having your name confused with sibling would be very frustrating for a child too.

Too similar

Both lovely names but just too similar for siblings.

Alicia maybe? Not quite as nice as Alice IMO but it would work with Alex.

Yes, sorry.

To my ear they do sound very similar. Do you have any other names you were thinking of?
