Hi, I just gave birth to a beautiful girl and we can’t decide on a name. We are choosing between Alice an Ava. We have a boy named Hudson at home. Last name starts with A. Please vote!

Alice or Ava

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww little chuchy face Grin Lovely little girl @Baby20221113

Would have to be Ava for me - as I still think of 'who the f*ck is Alice' from the late 1990s - sorry. Blush

I’m going to say Alice simply because your surname starts with the letter A and I think Ava could be a mouthful.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/11/2022 22:10

I was going to say Alice on preference but She's got the name Ava written all over her. She's a beauty Congratulations

Congratulations, she is lovely. Another vote for Alice but I actually agree with a PP saying she looks like an Ada!

MrsTimRiggins · 14/11/2022 21:44

She is very beautiful and you must be so proud of her! Congratulations!!

Definitely Alice. It’s beautiful and timeless (and the name of the most beautiful, kind, classy, capable soul I know, coincidentally!). Ava is fine, just not as lovely imo.

MissyB1 · 14/11/2022 21:42

She’s gorgeous! Definitely an Alice 😊

emmathedilemma · 14/11/2022 21:27

Ooh sweet baby! She’s an Alice.
my favourite name but I’ll warn you that all the ones I’ve known have been completely mad (in a nice way, but bonkers)

Bournetilly · 14/11/2022 21:22

Congratulations, she is beautiful! I think Alice, Ava is so common now

Emmelina · 14/11/2022 21:04

Congratulations. I think you’re looking at a little Alice there :)

CambsAlways · 14/11/2022 21:01

Ava

I love Alice. Congratulations she is beautiful 😍 xx

RambamThankyouMam · 14/11/2022 20:57

Alice!

Ava is so overdone.

Fundays12 · 14/11/2022 20:55

Congratulations she is beautiful 😍. I think she is an Alice. It's a beautiful name and not overused.

ReadtheReviews · 14/11/2022 20:51

I think Ada but that's just to be awkward.

NoDairyNoProblem · 14/11/2022 20:47

Oh Alice definitely 🥰

FearofQueefing · 14/11/2022 20:44

Alice, 100%

I also have an Alice and get so many compliments on her name. I'm so glad I picked it.
