Ivy... or Alice?

DS1 is called Harry.
DH chose it after his favourite grandfather.

So I get to have a little more sway this time round.

DD due in May - I suggested either Ivy or Alice and DH laughed - he likes both, but because the wife of his fave GP (his GM) was called IVY ALICE!

Completely freaked me out.

Anyway - I now can't decide if I still like either/both names and if its because we'll have two children names after DH's married GP's.

And not a name from my side of the family (which we said we wouldn't do from either side of the family, for arguments sake).

So - can you give me your opinions on both? Either?

Alice

Can't help thinking of Ivy Tyldesley when I hear the name Ivy

I like both actually, although not together.
They are both quite old-fashioned which I love. What about Olive? or Violet? both lovely and unusual and similar roots.
