Hi, I would appreciate honest opinions!

Am a bit torn between.. Alice, Isabel and Julia for expected DS who turns out to be a probable DD....

What do you think? My hesitation with Alice is that it is becoming more popular and isn't really that exciting, Isabel = already very popular but I like the nn Izzy, Julia= would it seem strange on a baby?

They are all fab. I have not met any baby Alices in RL but I know of a few online. They are all lovely None stick out as being particularly common or uncommon. I know a 4yr old Julia and I think its nice on a little one.

well, not that I'm biased, but DD is called Isabel, and if we have another she will be Alice, after my great-grandmother!!
(but also have vv good friend called Julia).

There, that was helpful,. wasn't it?!!

Yeah I think the real question is Alice or Julia.. suprised so many people like Julia I thought may be hated!!

I think Alice is very pretty, had it arrived say a week ago it would have been Alice, but then I was driving past a sign (bizarre) today to work and saw 'Julia' and realised I really like it, DH prefers isabella (I vetoed for frilliness and popularity) and then Julia, he says.. aaargh

I like Julia! I know what you mean re baby, but it's very elegant.
