We are trying to decide between Amelia, Alice or Anna and would value your opinion. Thanks

All of them are goergous!

Amelia is quite popular atm though.

I have an Amelia Anna.

The only reason I dont' have an Alice is becuase we used to have a lovely cat called Alice.

Of course, one of the advantages is that you don't have to unpick the initials off of the hand-me-down PE kit!

wheresthehamster · 26/10/2008 19:22

No carrotjuice, it's usually obvious who it's for. If not - I'll leave it for dd1 to open incase it's sensitive teenage stuff

Troutpout · 26/10/2008 19:09

Anna

TheRedQueen · 26/10/2008 19:02

I like them all. But particularly Amelia and Alice. But that's probably because DD is Amelia Alice!

Hi "wheresthehamster" does having two girls with the same initial cause any issues e.g. with post?

Alice is a beautiful name and my favourite. Also like Anna and Amelia, although Anna is more os a classic.

Dd1 and dd3 are two of those names. Great choices!

KnobblyBoneForkHandles · 26/10/2008 11:20

Alice or Anna and out of the two I prefer Anna.

Amelia is very popular round here.

Sazisi · 26/10/2008 11:20

An advantage of Anna is that it's used all over the World

Sazisi · 26/10/2008 11:18

I love Alice
Really like Anna too
Amelia, not so much

LouMacca · 26/10/2008 11:13

For me its

  1. Alice
  2. Anna
  3. Amelia

All pretty names.

Liffey · 26/10/2008 11:10

That'd be how I'd rank them too.

I was just reading this thread and I noticed that nobdoy dislikes Anna.

carrotjuice · 26/10/2008 08:57

Thanks for all your help - looks like the general feeling is:
1 Anna
2 Alice
3 Amelia
We would really welcome any more comments.

Amelia, just don't like that meeeeeel sound in the middle. I know it's very popular though so nobody else minds I think. I think of it as being a variation of Emily, and on that line of thinking I prefer Emily, or if you want to be different, Romilly, or Camellia. (like the flower)

Alice, very sweet but still strong, very classic. A really good name choice, but although I really like it, I'd use it in the middle. Just seems more like a middle name to me!

Anna. I really like this, it's very simple but not weak. It's not going to date like Ella or Emma will. Even though I really like Anna, I think some people might think it's not quite enough of a name... Maybe?

Annabel is a bit stronger imo. Can still be Anna if you choose, but Annabel Alice flows really well. I like Anna, I just feel I want to accessorise it!!

Dooes the name have to begin with A? I like Juliet Alice and it popped in to my head, or Juliet Amelia (I can take it in the middle).

totalmisfit · 24/10/2008 23:12

Anna

MadBadandWieldingAnAxe · 24/10/2008 23:06

Alice!

MommyHasaHeadache · 24/10/2008 23:04

Anna gets my 1st vote, followed by Alice, then Amelia.

frankbestfriend · 24/10/2008 22:56

All lovely names, but in order of preference, favourite first

Anna
Amelia
Alice

How about Anna Amelia?

BabyBaby123 · 24/10/2008 22:53

none of them!

How about Amelie??

MintChocAddict · 24/10/2008 22:51

Alice very nice. One of my faves.

Hulababy · 24/10/2008 22:50

Order I prefer; Anna, Amelia, Alice.

TBH I like all three in general.

LoopyLena · 24/10/2008 22:49

But would Ann or Ali or Al be nicer? All names get shortened at school, my DS2 gets called Char, sounds like a cuppa tea!!!!

ScareyBitchFeast · 24/10/2008 22:15

all of them - only reason i didnt chose amelia was because i didnt like shortened amy
