I love Alice, it's beautiful!

namechangeaga1n · 09/04/2021 00:44

Grace

CabernetSoWhat · 09/04/2021 00:14

Love Alice

"Grace" is a horrid-sounding word to my ear.

Operasinger · 09/04/2021 00:12

Love them both but Grace is just ahead ❤️

firedog · 09/04/2021 00:09

Grace is common near us so I prefer Alice

Happymum12345 · 09/04/2021 00:05

Both beautiful names. Go with your heart.

mibbelucieachwell · 08/04/2021 23:57

Alice would be my preference. I can't help feeling that giving girls a virtue name is sexist as boys aren't given virtue names.

Bootskates · 08/04/2021 23:51

Alice

Alice

ChocFondant · 08/04/2021 23:46

Both lovely names. I'd wait until baby arrives (assuming she hasn't arrived yet) and then decide. I had such a gut feeling when I looked at dd that the shortlist became one name very easily

fifteenmillionmerits · 08/04/2021 23:38

Always loved Alice.

DramaAlpaca · 08/04/2021 23:14

I meant I don't like the 'gr' sound!

DramaAlpaca · 08/04/2021 23:13

Alice by a long way.

I do like the 'gr' sound in Grace.

CirqueDeMorgue · 08/04/2021 23:12

100% Alice.

Tillygetsit · 08/04/2021 23:09

Alice. Much nicer.

MalagaNights · 08/04/2021 20:01

Alice.
Both are elegant and timeless but Grace has had more popularity over the past 20 years so I'd go for Alice.

readytostand22 · 08/04/2021 20:00

Alice 😊

OwlBasket · 08/04/2021 20:00

Yes, Alice. For the reason Wigeon gives.

Amdone123 · 08/04/2021 19:59

Grace.

Wigeon · 08/04/2021 19:58

Alice. With virtue names I wonder what if Grace isn’t graceful, Joy isn’t joyful, Verity isn’t truthful etc! And Alice is a lovely name.

May2021Mummy · 08/04/2021 19:54

I think it depends if you have picked a middle name although they are both lovely names and you can't go wrong with either

WantingAnother · 08/04/2021 19:52

Alice

BramStoker · 08/04/2021 19:50

Alice

Cam2020 · 08/04/2021 19:49

Alice. But Grace is also nice.

sozzleb1983 · 08/04/2021 19:42

Definitely Grace. We have Grace Mabel and love it. She gets Gracie too xx
