Iris!

Alice is so boring

Iris is beautiful.

Alice is OK but a bit lacking in oomph.

MrsWhistledown · 06/01/2021 23:08

Alice, my favourite name!

Iris.

Mistlewoeandwhine · 06/01/2021 23:04

Alice.

Love both...I have an Alys which seems like a nice hybrid of your names Smile

BrassyLocks · 06/01/2021 23:03

Iris. Alice to me sounds a bit weak.

TempsPerdu · 06/01/2021 23:03

That’s a hard one - love both of those. DD has Alice as a middle name but I’d probably go with Iris as a first as despite recent popularity it still feels a bit fresher, and I love all its associations (rainbow/goddess/flower).

Alice!

ellenpartridge · 06/01/2021 23:02

I love Alice. I also love the name April

Both v nice! Alice probably a little more popular if that matters to you.
