I really love both Alice and Grace and struggling to choose between the two. Please help me decide! Thanks everyone x

Alice

MajorNeville · 28/12/2021 01:14

Grace. I've never liked Alice.

Ceramide · 28/12/2021 00:49

Grace, definitely.

Alice is rather stuffy.

MissMaple82 · 28/12/2021 00:35

Grace

Prefer Alice but that's only because I know two girls called Grace who are awful.

Pegasussnail · 27/12/2021 23:56

Love them both!

Grace, A Lice is what my friend was called all through senior
I’m called Alice. The singular of lice is louse.

Grace.

Alice

Alice. Classic.
I've taught quite a few Graces
girljulian so it's not unusual where I am. Fewer Alices.
They're both nice names.

Grace

girljulian · 27/12/2021 23:15

I'm intrigued by all the commenters saying Grace is overused! I've never met a Grace, adult or child. Know loads of elderly and loads of little Alices. I still prefer Alice of the two.

mangodreams · 27/12/2021 23:09

Alice definitely. I have never been a fan of Grace, just a bit dull like Jane.

Mumofgirls2017 · 27/12/2021 23:05

Alice by a mile for me!

Alice

Grace

Chewbecca · 27/12/2021 14:33

I love shouting Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice too so that doesn’t bother me.

Chewbecca · 27/12/2021 14:32

Alice
Because I am very ungraceful and wouldn’t like to have the pressure of a descriptive word as my name.

MissNothing1991 · 27/12/2021 14:30

I liked both myself. Until someone pointed out we knew an Alice who always got the mick taken out of her through the medium of the song 'Living Next Door to Alice', the lyrics of which, are often followed by 'Alice? Alice? Who the is Alice?' where I'm from, but that could just be where I am.

Thissucksmonkeynuts · 27/12/2021 14:26

Alice. It's less of a burden on the girl to behave in a gendered way.

LyraVega · 27/12/2021 14:23

Alice.

Strongly dislike Grace personally!

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 27/12/2021 14:20

Grace always strikes me as elegant, Alice I don't like at all, its so wet. (Apologies to any Alices)

SouthParkCovid · 27/12/2021 14:19

Grace

Gotobloodysleep · 27/12/2021 14:16

Grace.

Every time I meet an Alice I think Alice, Alice? Who the fuck is Alice? (A song for those boy old enough to remember)

Llkjdhwhgsyoqobf · 27/12/2021 14:16

I used to prefer Alice as it feels more spunky and fun, but it is very popular lately. Grace feels quite classical in a way, more gentle and feminine.
