Sister for Alice

103 replies

Alicehairband · 22/07/2020 16:23

Hi,

Dd1 is Alice and I absolutely love the name, it’s classic, elegant and feminine.

If I could, I would name Dd2 Alice too! But I just can’t.

Which name is in the same vein as Alice and would match well:

Hannah

Emily
Lily

Thanks all

Of your three, I like Hannah the best. Emily is a close second, but I honestly prefer Emilia to Emily.

Crunchymum · 27/07/2020 13:37

I am not massively keen on any of those on your shortlist

But in order:
Alice & Lily
Alice & Emily
(outright no to Hannah I am afraid, don't like it)

I know a few Alice's and their sister's are:

  • Mabel
  • Grace
  • Olivia
  • Martha
  • Eliza
Lockdownfatigue · 27/07/2020 11:49

Emily out of your three. Although I do know siblings called Alice and Hannah.

Eloise
Rose
Eleanor
Esme
Beatrice
Nancy
Florence
Olive

If you want other suggestions?

YourStarlessEyes · 27/07/2020 07:36

Definitely Emily from your choices.

I have an Alice too, it's is a lovely name.

JustanotherTuesday · 26/07/2020 23:43

Out of the three names I prefer Emily.
I know an Alice with a little sister called Eloise.

Fromthebirdsnest · 26/07/2020 23:32

I love Alice , I would go with Ella or Bethany (beth) or Emily , Ava , Polly , Charlotte (lottie) x

Thefaceofboe · 26/07/2020 19:56

If I had to chose from your list, it would be lily. But I don’t think any of them go with Alice.

Pantheon · 26/07/2020 12:41

I'd pick Lily from your list but I think Emily is the most classic of the three.

BikeRunSki · 24/07/2020 17:30

I’m an Alice. Me and the other Alice’s I know have sisters called:
Jessica x 2
Lucy
Zoe
Martha

Whatsyourflava · 24/07/2020 17:21

Would love to hear what you pick OP @Alicehairband

StrangerSwings · 24/07/2020 16:55

Hannah, but as poster above said I'd go with Anna

Spied · 24/07/2020 16:52

Emily

( Although personally I'd choose Anna)

Pemba · 24/07/2020 16:50

I agree with a pp's suggestion of Lucy, or Eleanor would work really well too.

But I see you are not taking new suggestions!

Pemba · 24/07/2020 16:47

I agree with pps that Emily is the most similar in style to Alice. Lovely name, as is Alice. The names seem to come from the same era (Victorian).

Lily does too I suppose, and it is pretty, but a bit lightweight compared to Alice. Alice is more classic. Also Alice and Lily - too many 'l's altogether.

I quite like Hannah, but it doesn't seem to go as well as Emily. I prefer Anna anyway.

itsgettingweird · 24/07/2020 12:01

Alice and Hannah is my favourite.

Alice and Emily go well together.

Alice and Lily are a bit of a mouthful together!

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 24/07/2020 11:28

I don't think Hannah is the same type of name as Alice though.

Mish85 · 24/07/2020 00:25

Alice and Emily out of your choices, beautiful names.

Lucy would also go nicely with Alice.

doubleshotespresso · 24/07/2020 00:12

From your list Hannah, but I'd think Annabel/ Annabelle would go better with Alice DaffodilDaffodilDaffodil

rosy71 · 23/07/2020 23:27

Emily

Woulditbeworth · 23/07/2020 23:20

My first name is the same as your dd1 and my middle name is Hannah so in my mind they go perfectly.

Greengrapes1357 · 23/07/2020 23:15

Lily or Emily.

Enough4me · 23/07/2020 23:12

Liliana (Lily)

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 23/07/2020 23:08

Kate
Eliza(beth)
Olivia
Ella

xxKatie9806xx · 23/07/2020 23:05

I think Alice and Eliza would be nice together.

Agree with PP that Emily is a bit boring but maybe that’s because the two Emily’s I know are very boring. What about Emmy or Emilia.

I like Lily but prefer it as a middle name. Hannah sounds quite grown up, I can never imagine a baby Hannah for some reason but it’s not very common anymore so that could be a good choice.

Minty82 · 23/07/2020 22:59

Alices I know have sisters called Grace, Betsy, Olivia, Honor, Laura, Blanche and Elizabeth.

From your list I like Emily or Hannah. Lily doesn’t feel nearly so classic, and could almost be a nickname for Alice itself.
