I like Alice but for me Fern is my favourite, I feel the name has more character.

x2boys · 06/06/2020 12:34

Well for me Alice ,but I prefer traditional names I don't really understand these threads though why does it matter what the preferences of strangers on the internet are whe naming your child ....

Kpo58 · 06/06/2020 12:36

Definitely Alice.

Alice

Zaphodsotherhead · 06/06/2020 12:37

Fern. It's my middle daughter's name!

FuzzyPuffling · 06/06/2020 12:40

Alice

elenacampana · 06/06/2020 12:58

I think Savannah is pretentious but really like the other two.

beachcomber70 · 06/06/2020 13:04

Fern.
Alice...just makes me think of a girl with blond hair wearing an alice band
Savannah makes me think of a desert/grassland

DidgeDoolittle · 06/06/2020 13:12

Alice. Much nicer name imo

Saz12 · 06/06/2020 13:31

I like Fern, except it would sound awful in many accents (Fey-run in mine!).
Savannah sounds a bit like she’d be mean! No idea why I think that, clearly some weird and unreasonable prejudice.
Alice is nice.

Spikeypineapples · 06/06/2020 13:45

Whenever I say the name Alice my DH goes "Alice, Alice who the f*ck is Alice?"

It's ruled that one out for me

Savannah is OK

I like Fern

Montybojangles · 06/06/2020 13:49

Depends what you’re naming. Savannah would be a good cats name, fern for a dog. If it’s a person then I’d go for Alice.

indecisivewoman81 · 06/06/2020 14:25

I really like Alice and if I ever had another girl I would call her that x

Epigram · 06/06/2020 14:27

Alice is the nicest, then Fern, then Savannah.

AcrobaticCardigan · 06/06/2020 14:29

Alice for sure..

missmouse101 · 06/06/2020 14:30

Fern is lovely. Alice is boring and wet. No to Savannah although I love Saffron.

ITonyah · 06/06/2020 14:30

My dd went to a private primary for a couple of years and there were 17 Alices.

Lovely name though, don't like the other two. Savannah is a bit Chardonnay and Fern is wet.

Howmuchlongercanthislast · 06/06/2020 14:31

Alice is traditional middle class name
Savannah is of the moment
Fern is the name of a Male Labrador - at a push spring spaniel- not a child

Rockbird · 06/06/2020 14:43

Alice. I might be biased...

Juiceey · 06/06/2020 14:49

I LOVE all 3, but Alice is my fave.

ImFreeToDoWhatIWant · 06/06/2020 15:31

Savannah is awful, Fern is meh/okay, Alice is the nicest, but I can never get the song "Alice, Alice, who the fcuk is Alice!" out of my head.

MozzchopsThirty · 06/06/2020 15:58

Savannah is a name for a stripper

sofacushions · 06/06/2020 17:22

To be honest- none of the names.

Savannah just sounds a bit 'try hard', Fern sounds a bit wishy washy to be and all I can think of when I hear the name Alice is Brownie Camp 1992 and 'Alice the Camel had 10 hunps'

EmotionalFlood · 06/06/2020 18:01

Alice makes me think of the smokie song, Alice, who the fuck is Alice! Which is a shame because we liked Alison but couldn't use it! I don't think it's a popular song now though? 🙈

EmotionalFlood · 06/06/2020 18:03

Just read a few of the comments. I feel better knowing that I'm not alone lol
