Anna

Alice reminds me of that god awful song Chubby Brown sang!

Camel is my dd's affectionate nickname 🤣

I think Frozen has ruined Arrrrna for me.

Alice - i have one and she's lovely too!

RuthW · 23/10/2020 12:15

Love both but can't get past the camel with Alice.

Porridgeoat · 23/10/2020 06:33

Like both but prefer Alice with Emily

Waitingforamate · 23/10/2020 06:27

Anna all the way! (But I love Alice too ☺️)

Alyce is horrible

diddlediddle · 22/10/2020 06:36

Alice has a bit more oomph and identity to me.

Anna is very pleasant but I think it fades into the background a bit. Merges with all the 4 letter names ending in a like Ella, Ayla, Isla, Anya etc.

MegaBloxRoxx · 22/10/2020 06:31

Both lovely names, but I prefer Alice

MercyBodle · 22/10/2020 06:06

This is impossible! Both great classic names, both work perfectly as Emily's sister. Today I'm picking Alice.

sorryforswearing · 22/10/2020 00:59

Alice fits best with Emily but I much prefer Anna. It’s been one of my favourite names for years.

TheOriginalMagratGarlik1 · 22/10/2020 00:22

Have you considered Alyce? Same name, but a prettier spelling imo and still very traditional name.

If not I'd go for Anna, though it may date more readily than Alice.

Enough4me · 22/10/2020 00:21

Anna (or Annabell)

AlexaShutUp · 22/10/2020 00:18

Both lovely. Nice choices.

I'd probably go for Alice with Emily, but Anna would work too.

caringcarer · 22/10/2020 00:16

Emily goes better with Alice. Both lovely names.

EthelTheGoose · 21/10/2020 22:30

@shedpaint I'm glad it's not just me!

Alice is a lovely name, but it will always trigger that damn song!

PastramiNoRye · 21/10/2020 22:12

My youngest is Anna so I'll go with that!

MeMeMeYou · 21/10/2020 22:10

Both names are lovely. I slightly prefer Anna

WorriedMummy2020 · 21/10/2020 22:02

I prefer Anna.

notso · 21/10/2020 21:55

Anna, Alice is a bit twee IMO

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 21/10/2020 21:54

Anna. Alice is a bit prissy.
