Alice 100%

Alice. Such a lovely name. Plus I know an adult Olivia who is an odious human being, so that has put me off for life.

I like Olivia better but it is popular. Alice makes me think of the song about camels. What about Alicia?

Any name but Olivia

I have an Alice, she’s six and she’s the only one in her school and aside from a 22 year ole still the only Alice I know.

Alice.

Oh, difficult. Both are nice names. Alice is so classic and should date the least, as it's popularity has stayed fairly steady. But Olivia is really pretty and I love the Shakespeare link - so despite it's extreme popularity, I think I'd pick Olivia!

Depends how you feel about her being the only 1 in her class with that name, Olivia has been number 1 for a while it's very popular. But lovely.
I have to say I prefer Alice. Pretty, classic and it's a nice that suits any age.

I love the name Olivia, but it's so overused now. Alice was on my list for my DD, I think it's beautiful.

Olivia but both are nice
