Please help. Having our baby in 2 days (new years eve) and still haven't agreed on her name. Baby brain means I'm struggling making a decision!

Please vote... Alice or Holly??

Thank you all so much xx

Alice is gorgeous.

IggyAce · 30/12/2018 20:41

Alice it’s classic, Holly is quite popular where I am.

Holly with her being born within the 12 days of Christmas.

Alice definitely. Holly at this time of year is just so cheesy.

I LOVE Alice but my family are the kind of people who would sing “Alice, who the f**k is Alice” (yes really). So by default we would choose Holly. But if your family are normal, go for Alice.

Holly

Our dd was due to be called Charlotte born in nov - she was born just before Christmas and called Holly - not a name that had really been on our list but we love - there are no others in her class and only one in her school she loves it and we love it x

Cuppateeee · 29/12/2018 23:45

Holly

DramaAlpaca · 29/12/2018 23:41

If I had to pick it would be Alice.

I'm sure you'll know when you meet her.

Ngaio2 · 29/12/2018 23:39

Holly was trending 15 or 20 yyers ago, whereas Alice as a classy ageless feeel to it.
I hope you have a good birth and baby looks like an Alice

hoping2018 · 29/12/2018 15:28

Really like both but I think Alice pips it for me

Cookit · 29/12/2018 15:26

Alice. It's a lovely name.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 29/12/2018 11:54

Holly

daisypond · 29/12/2018 11:53

Alice

MumUnderTheMoon · 29/12/2018 11:52

Alice Winter would be awesome!!

Milasmummy · 29/12/2018 11:51

Alice

Grannyannex · 29/12/2018 11:38

Alice is timeless. HOlly is a bit dated and was popular more recently

Chapterandverse · 29/12/2018 11:34

How about Eve Wink

I'm only joking - I had a Christmas eve baby (17 years ago) and that was suggested, along with Holly, Mary, Chrissie, Beth(lehem)

We went with none of the above

And called her Alice Grin

Lobsterquadrille2 · 29/12/2018 11:31

Alice. Love it.

Rickytickytembo · 29/12/2018 11:06

Alice. Classic and beautiful.
