What do people think of baby name Alice

So I'm 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of names. I have 4 girls and a boy already and I suspect this baby is a girl as i sent my scan off to the 'nubologists' and they predicted girl but I know it's just a bit of fun and not accurate aha
So I've thought of the name Alice for a girl. I like it but what do others think? The one thing I have thought about is what if ppl automatically think of that awful song 'who the f**k is Alice'
That song spoils a beautiful name
Anyone else have any pretty girls names

I heard that song as soon as I read the thread title but I'm 39,your daughters future friends and colleagues wont have heard of it.Its a lovely name.

I'm not keen on Alice. It's stuffy and prim to my ears. But if you love it, use it.

Pinkprincess1978 · 11/04/2019 07:53

I love it. I wanted it for my dd but DH thought it old fashioned. I think it's classic, easily spelt and not over used. Beautiful name.

I loved it but my husband said it reminded him of the serial killer Alice from Luther 😭

Bojoshatface · 11/04/2019 06:51

It's not for me, too twee and dull.

BikeRunSki · 11/04/2019 06:49

the only thing that puts me off is the lack of nicknames for it.

Abbreviations of my name that have been used over the years have been Al, Ali and Lis, and Licia. I have also had all sorts of nicknames which have had nothing to do with my first name, and a very teneous connection - Aurora, from Aurora Bore-Alice

I’m Alice, and I am definitely not wet!
I like that everyone knows the bane, but i’m usually the only one in a good of people, although I sometimes work with an Alys.
No one ever mentions the song. In fact there are several songs with Alice in the title. No one mentions them, they are not that well known anymore.
My surname makes my first name a lot more rockier. No one mentions that either.
A-lice is a ridiculous thing to say. The singular of lice is louse.

nocluenoidea · 11/04/2019 06:26

Sorry but it does remind me immediately of the song

Joeybee · 11/04/2019 04:07

Really like it. I've that it's classic and elegant. Also like the Alice in Wonderland association. It was on my list, the only thing that puts me off is the lack of nicknames for it.

RozHuntleysIncineratedHand · 10/04/2019 23:34

I really like Alice but I'm the same and immediately think of the song which is why i have vowed to use it as a middle name instead!

Lisette1940 · 10/04/2019 23:30

It was my Grandmother's name. If I'd had a girl, she'd have been called Alice. My Gran was a fabulous person: spirited and kind.

BarrenFieldofFucks · 10/04/2019 23:28

Love it. Dh vetoed it here though sadly.

CrazyOldBagLady · 10/04/2019 23:23

I really like it.

DramaAlpaca · 10/04/2019 23:22

thedevilinablackdress as a fellow former goth way back in the day the Sisters of Mercy song was my first thought too.

OP, I love the name.

Starryskiesinthesky · 10/04/2019 23:17

Like it but quite popular where I am. Although probably slightly older girls.

JumpingFrogs · 10/04/2019 22:43

I have a lovely, clever, kind, sporty, teenage Alice. She likes her name. I know the song, but no one has EVER mentioned it to me or to her!

Raspberry88 · 10/04/2019 21:55

It's a beautiful name. I love it. DHs old best friend from Uni is called Alice and she is incredible. One of those amazing people.

ReginaGeorgeous · 10/04/2019 21:53

I like it.

LoveLuna · 10/04/2019 21:52

I have an Alice, she's definitely not wet! I love the name, however, she doesn't and is now known by her middle name.

becca3210 · 10/04/2019 21:51

Lovely name!

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 10/04/2019 21:51

I'm also biased but it's my favourite girls name ❤️

OhTheRoses · 10/04/2019 21:51

Classic. Pretty. Straightforward. Elegant. Beautiful.

My grandma was blonde, blue eyed, independent, dependable, loving kind and very courageous. As is my dd.

Very special and marvellous name, for very special and marvellous women.

Pocket0219 · 10/04/2019 21:50

Love it. It was our girl name but we had a boy 9 weeks ago.

Sculpin · 10/04/2019 21:49

I like Alice. Pretty and not too popular.

SallyWD · 10/04/2019 21:48

Lovely name
