I have a scarlett, she is Scarlett Ann. I have said if we have another (would be third) I would want Alice. They are both lovely names but I'm Not to keen on Molly

Scarlett is too harsh sounding. Molly by a mile. Molly and Poppy are lovely together

midsomermurderess · 19/02/2019 17:07

Are Scarlett and Poppy not pretty much the same colour? I'd go for something different.

LarkDescending · 19/02/2019 17:05

I'm going to guess from OP's username that Alice may well be her own name, hence not in the running as a first name for DD.

Out of the two I prefer Scarlett but I personally love Alice as first name and would chose it over the others.

AppleKatie · 18/02/2019 08:16

Molly a 1000 times Molly.

Jaz32 · 18/02/2019 08:12

Definitely Scarlett is more striking!

Ethel80 · 16/02/2019 20:56

I like Scarlet better than Scarlett, it looks much nicer. I agree that Alice sounds lovely as a first name with Poppy though and would go for that.

emilybrontescorsett · 16/02/2019 20:04

Scarlett.

Ditto @Tutlefru

Biased but love Scarlett.

Such a strong name. Matches my daughters personality. Grin

FridayFreja · 16/02/2019 13:07

You’ve got a ‘red’ theme going there with Scarlett and Poppy!

If you have a third dd you can call her Ruby!

Alice is beautiful, a different league to Molly or Scarlett.

BiggFactHunt · 16/02/2019 10:11

Scarlett is a cool girls name.
Molly is ok but will blend in with all the other Mollys, Millies, Lilys, etc.
Alice is a bit wet blanket.
Definitely Scarlett for first name, it’s fab.

GypsyRoseTea · 16/02/2019 10:05

Molly!

Yaxalot · 16/02/2019 10:03

Molly

I don't like Scarlett at all. I don't like the scar sound

MsMustDoBetter · 16/02/2019 08:36

Molly Alice is gorgeous.

There is something a bit hard sounding about Scarlett and it's also very popular.

Icklepup · 16/02/2019 08:28

You've made the right decision

123Flopsy · 16/02/2019 08:23

I much prefer Alice! It's nicer and more classic than Molly or Scarlet imo.

origamiunicorn · 16/02/2019 07:32

Scarlett, it's lovely.

victoria0505 · 16/02/2019 07:31

I would choose Molly as opposed to Scarlett. I'm not really a fan of Scarlett and Molly's a lot more preferable in my opinion. I love Alice by the way!

Letthemysterybe · 15/02/2019 22:04

Scarlett is lovely.

Divgirl2 · 15/02/2019 21:59

Scarlett Alice sounds like a playground teasing name for Alice the chronic blusher.

What's wrong with Alice as a first name? Alice Scarlett "goes" a lot better in my opinion.

Cosmoa · 15/02/2019 20:53

Only thing about Scarlett Alice is I hear it as Scarlett Talice...

orangetriangle · 15/02/2019 20:47

scarlett
