Which do you prefer? Are these names really popular at the moment?

Charlotte is a timeless classic as is Alice however the latter reminds me of old ladies.
Charlotte all the way!

kailie · 30/04/2010 14:43

I like both names - very pretty.

I'd have to choose Charlotte, though!

LouMacca · 28/04/2010 16:19

Both lovely - how about Charlotte Alice?

shubiedoo · 28/04/2010 15:20

I think Alice is slightly less popular at the moment, but both are nice.

Sorry, not keen on Alice. Love Charlotte & NN Lottie too!

happystarr · 28/04/2010 14:43

My daughter is called Charlotte so I obviously love the name!

It was a risky choice tho as I'm not a huge fan of the nns, but luckily she is now 5 years old and she still gets called Charlotte by everyone.

Alice always makes me think of the girl from alice in wonderland!

Love Alice w

Charlotte. I've seen the name abbreviated to Shar, charlie or lottie

flopsy1974 · 28/04/2010 13:23

Love Alice

Charlotte

If I had had a girl we would have named her Charlotte

Alice is very pretty too but I prefer Charlotte.

Alice

mathanxiety · 22/04/2010 15:59

Alice again here.

padraig · 22/04/2010 15:42

Alice.

I've always thought Charlotte was too common.

HatetheGym · 22/04/2010 13:55

Noah - snap!

So I have to say I like them both I have noticed more girls called Alice around than girls called Charlotte, though.

stargirl24 · 22/04/2010 13:54

I love both of them. If I had to choose one though, it would be Alice.

Firawla · 22/04/2010 13:53

Ive seen more baby/toddler Alice than Charlotte, but both are nice and I like Alice more i think

NoahAndTheWhale · 22/04/2010 13:50

Both lovely names (they are my DD's first and middle names

I sometimes like Charlotte more I think but on balance Alice is her now.

pogleswife · 22/04/2010 13:44

Like Charlotte. LOVE Alice.

crumpette · 22/04/2010 13:43

Both are really lovely. Both are quite popular but very classic. I like them both [unhelpful!]

oldandmiserable · 22/04/2010 12:23

Very nice. They are both very popular, I think Alice is less so.

Psammead · 22/04/2010 11:46

Both lovely - love Alice. Would have been my DD's name if I still lived in the UK. Bit unusual here.

5DollarShake · 22/04/2010 11:36

Alice.
