Alice or Freya?

Which to go for!?

Other suggestions welcome too… We already have a Poppy! Love the name Clover, but would never be brave enough.

Alice is lovely. So many Freyas at the minute

Alice, but I don’t think Clover requires a lot of bravery.

I'm not keen on Alice and prefer Freya, although it feels slightly dated to me - lots of similar (Ingrids, Karens etc) when I was at school and a few Freyas when my DC were, back in the 90s and 00s. I really like Rowan.

Alice

Alice is one of my favourite names, so that would be my pick. I do love Freya with Poppy though.

HollyGolightly4 · 30/10/2025 21:27

Freya 💕

ImSorryWhatDidYouSay · 30/10/2025 21:27

Freya - From Old Norse Freyja meaning "lady". This is the name of a goddess associated with love, beauty, war and death in Norse mythology.

Nothing quite as exciting for Alice I’m afraid?!

Not keen on Freya. Love Clover!

How about...

Fern (or Fearne)
Willow
Ivy
Rowan
And a little bit more out there but just because I love it - Story.

Alice, not keen on Freya.

Also can be different pronunciations of Fray-ya Free-ya which would bug me.

Zov · 30/10/2025 21:11

Would have to be Willow, or Lily, or Rose.

Alice just makes me think of 'Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice?!'

Not keen on Freya at all.

hyggetyggedotorg · 30/10/2025 21:09

Freya.

Alice is extremely dull compared to Poppy.

Sholderpad · 30/10/2025 21:07

Alice. I've never been keen on Freya though.

Also love both but Alice is the front runner

Idontknowhatnametochoose · 30/10/2025 21:03

Alice.

Love both but Freya.

Also throwing Willow into the ring!
