Ruth my DM used to sing Alice the camel to my Alice when she was a baby/toddler, she loved it! I'd never heard it before then.

Figgygal · 15/03/2018 17:46

I don't know any and none in my ds school class or ds2 nursery

I would have used it had I had a girl

NewtScamandersNaughtyNiffler · 15/03/2018 17:45

I know 2 baby Alice's. One is about 2 years old and one is 7 months.

RuthW · 15/03/2018 17:42

I love it but makes me think of the Brownie song Alice the Camel' and the f word song.

StealthPolarBear · 15/03/2018 17:32

It's 8year old dds name.
Why do people think it'll be the next royal baby name?

AnyaMoondial · 15/03/2018 17:27

Oh my goodness, I know loads. And it's tipped to be the next royal baby name so is set to rocket.

It's nice though.

BlancheM · 15/03/2018 17:22

I know a couple.

User27839494 · 15/03/2018 17:21

It’s a perfectly nice name but it’s certainly not rare as it’s been suggested as it’s currently ranked 17th. It is pretty but a bit blah imo.

Sarahh2014 · 15/03/2018 17:18

Yep I can picture Roy chubby brown singing that song now.sorry op

Lindah1 · 15/03/2018 17:08

Lovely name but I can only think of the song sorry

formerbabe · 15/03/2018 17:00

It should be a pretty name but I actually find it really twee and frumpy.

Slightlyperturbedowlagain · 15/03/2018 16:58

It was our girls name for DS1 and DS2, so never got used. Beautiful name Smile

BikeRunSki · 15/03/2018 16:56

Just check and double check it works with your surname. It runs into my maiden name to make a completely different first name, so lots of people think i’m called that name, but don’t know my surname. With my married name, i’m an infamous rock star!

PandaCat · 15/03/2018 16:43

I don't know any babies, my almost 6yr old is called Alice though. She is the only one in her class

ChocolateCrunch · 15/03/2018 16:36

I like it. I know two adults and one 12 year old with the name.

BabloHoney · 15/03/2018 16:35

My favourite girls name! Beautiful and timeless.

chloworm · 15/03/2018 16:30

My DD (9) is one! I know of three others in our smallish village, so think it's becoming more and more popular.

Notonthestairs · 15/03/2018 16:28

I know 4. 4, 8, 10 and 41 years old! Love the name. It's pretty but quite strong sounding and characterful. We were going to use it but it clashed with our sons name.

I'm sure I read on one of the royal threads it was odds on to be next royal baby name if it's a girl (presumably!). No idea whether that should bother you though.

troodiedoo · 15/03/2018 16:24

I have a baby Alice. Dd1 has four Alices in one of her college classes.

afrikat · 15/03/2018 16:21

I love it. Was on my list ❤️

Justgivemesomepeace · 15/03/2018 16:18

Love it. Don't know any children called Alice. I know 1 lady called Alice.

VioletteValentia · 15/03/2018 16:17

I know a few around 22 ish

MammieBear · 15/03/2018 16:11

None whatsoever, it is timeless in my opinion.

olddogsnewtricks · 15/03/2018 16:07

Yes, my 8 year old.

MotherOfWurzel · 15/03/2018 16:07

I love this name and want to use it if I ever have a girl.

When telling this to a friend though, he screwed his face up and said "what, like 'Living next door to Alice Alice, who the fuck is Alice?' Hmm

It hasn't totally put me off....
