Alice is top for me, lovely and timeless
Margot (nice but trendy)
Grace (overused)

Believeinyou · 22/12/2022 12:11

Alice

DNBU · 22/12/2022 12:11

Alice.

Grace is very early 2000s.
Margot is having a moment now. It will date.

Alice had always been popular.

Laurdo · 22/12/2022 12:09

Alice. Not a fan of Margot. I like Grace bit it's quite popular.

Middle names. Alice Jane/Jayne to keep it classic or Alice Grace is nice and uses 2 of your names.

Ewisa · 22/12/2022 12:05

I love Grace

ReindeerSkull · 22/12/2022 12:03

Don't like any of them but if I had to choose it would be Alice. Grace is so popular and I don't think Margot sounds or looks nice.

itsmehiimtheproblemitssme · 22/12/2022 11:57

Margot Grace would be so gorgeous. I love them all.

SalviaOfficinalis · 22/12/2022 11:55

Agree with others.

Margot will date

Grace too overused

Alice is lovely.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 22/12/2022 11:54

Margot is 🤢 Grace might not be at all graceful
Alice is sublime

mnahmnah · 22/12/2022 11:51

Alice. Lovely, classic, not lots around

I love Margot, but agree it is trendy at the moment so will date

Tons of Graces. Very popular.

GarlicSauce · 22/12/2022 11:43

Alice

Margot just isn't that nice of a name and Grace or any attribute name is too much of a risk. Grace always ends up to be a clumsy rather large woman.

Rainbowqueeen · 22/12/2022 11:43

Grace or Alice.

Margot is hugely popular and will date quickly I think.

KirstenBlest · 22/12/2022 11:41

Alice. Classic and simple
Margot has become popular from nowhere, so will probably date badly
Grace is overused as a middle name, I'm not keen on the sound, and a Grace might not be gracious or graceful.

RedRobyn2021 · 22/12/2022 11:39

Sorry I love them all

AdaColeman · 22/12/2022 11:39

Alice!
Grace would be a close second.

Not at all keen on Margot.

Marcipex · 22/12/2022 11:39

Margo without the t?
then no one would think of maggot

5moments · 22/12/2022 11:38

I like Margot but it's too popular.

Grace is over done.

Alice is ok, quite sweet. I really like Ally for a nn.

Purplemagnolias · 22/12/2022 11:37

I love how Margot is pronounced ('Mar-go')

Only in French!

In German and many other European languages it's actually pronounced as it's written - Mar-gott

LaLuz7 · 22/12/2022 11:36

I like Alice best.

Margot sounds too much like maggot

Have you considered Magda instead?

SoupDragon · 22/12/2022 11:34

Alice

Mercurial123 · 22/12/2022 11:33

Grace or Alice as a back up. Definitely not Margot.

Pemba · 22/12/2022 10:57

Alice is beautiful and timeless, I would pick that. Grace has grown on me the last few years, although like a pp I used to be put off by the 'grr' sound. Such a lovely meaning and it goes well with other names. Could have Alice Grace?

Margot I'm not so keen on, although I don't hate it.

MamboJamboWambo · 22/12/2022 10:54

Grace. Everybodyyyyy is naming their daughter Margot atm.

ShesThunderstorms · 22/12/2022 10:50

Margot is gorgeous.

WarriorsComeOutToPlayaaay · 22/12/2022 10:50

I think Grace is overused and she will likely be one of many in her class.
