I love Alice but i'll warn that all the ones i've known have been absolutely bonkers!!
Isabelle is ok but quite common these days. Depends if you want something that can be shortened - Alice is probably always going to be Alice but Isabelle could be Izzy, Bella, Belle, etc.

I'm secretly really glad nobody is going for husbands choices Wink we try to make it fair but I hate them too!

I only like Alice. I like Penelope but not Penny. Isobel is ok, his spelling of it is horrendous. Abbi is awful.

PlantPotting · 07/01/2020 09:33

Love Alice
That’s my favourite

MrsBertBibby · 07/01/2020 05:29

Alice : dislike.
Penelope is great.
Isobel or Isabel is good
Abbi is atrocious, and Abigail is an ugly name imo. Sorry!

Whatsyourflava · 06/01/2020 23:58

Love the name Alice

LadyGAgain · 06/01/2020 18:15

All are lovely! Congrats!

Flymetothestars · 06/01/2020 18:14

Worst is Abbi

beckybex93 · 06/01/2020 16:40

Alice

Changedname81 · 06/01/2020 16:28

Alice and Isobel (no z) are lovely 😆

MikeUniformMike · 06/01/2020 16:14

Penny - know 5 Pennys of different ages. All nice apart from one
Alice - I really like the name
My husband likes
Abbi - nice if short for Abigail, would spell it Abi, Abby or Abbie I think
Izabelle - awful, but Isabel or Isabelle is fine.

Flymetothestars · 06/01/2020 13:45

Love Alice

Astronica · 06/01/2020 09:39

Alice.

If it was Abigail nn Abbi then that would be equal first for me. Just Abbi on its own is probably my least favourite. I actually like Izabelle with a z - my 2nd choice.

FluffyEggsontoast · 06/01/2020 09:31

Alice

Jossina · 06/01/2020 03:34

Anything but Izabelle spelled that way. Abbi as a nn for Abigail, Penny only as short for Penelope.

MopsRUs · 06/01/2020 00:25

Penny or Abbi.

Poorolddaddypig · 05/01/2020 22:42

Alice or Penny

FluffyEggsontoast · 05/01/2020 22:18

Alice ❤️

NoSauce · 05/01/2020 21:10

Alice. I love Isabelle but not with a z.

ButterflyRuns · 05/01/2020 20:46

I like Alice and Isabelle is a really pretty name as long as it’s not spelt with the z - looks strange and no one will spell it that way anyway.

MiniGuinness · 05/01/2020 20:45

I hate Abbi, especially that spelling. The others are OK. I don’t like your husband’s spellings though.

AlpacaGoodnight · 05/01/2020 20:40

Really like Penny

Soawesome · 05/01/2020 16:57

Alice and Isabel/Isabelle is the best combination.
Penny and Abigail would be ok.

DramaAlpaca · 05/01/2020 15:43

I'd call her Alice Penelope Smile

user1493494961 · 05/01/2020 15:40

Alice or Isabelle.
