I love Alice.

William and Joshua are both lovely. Do you have a preference for the short versions? Will/Bill/Josh?

Shaz10 · 22/08/2010 14:31

William and Alice.

But if you're due in 3 days, stick with the shortlist and don't decide yet. We had 4 names ready and chose after - it was easier once we saw him. :)

We have an Alice so I would definitely go with that - we get so many compliments and I think it is a lovely, timeless name and not overly popular.
Out of your boys' names I prefer William

Joshua, fab name!
I like both your girls names. At a push I would say Felicity.

BelligerentGhoul · 22/08/2010 19:33

William and Alice, though I lik Felicity too. Not fond of Joshua.

william and alice

meandjoe · 22/08/2010 19:37

Alice is lovely.

I prefer Joshua but it is very popular which wouldn't put me off but it may do some people. Not so keen on William, don't like that kids will make the inevitable willy association!!

DetectivePotato · 22/08/2010 19:44

William is also very popular as well.

HaveToWearHeels · 22/08/2010 19:46

William and Alice.

I do like Joshua, but I am les keen on the nn Josh. Not so keen on Felicity.

remaincalm · 22/08/2010 20:42

I like Joshua and William is fab too. I have a Felicity, her nn is Lissie, so cute.

glucose · 22/08/2010 20:52

Joshua and William both great names, pref. Alice to Felicity.

sophiesmummie · 22/08/2010 20:55

William may get teased (Willy), but I still prefer it over Joshua.

Alice is lovely.

Crapweasel · 22/08/2010 20:56

William & Alice - beautiful, classic names Smile

flopsy1974 · 22/08/2010 22:09

William and alice. - lovely names.

Roz14 · 22/08/2010 22:14

William and Alice - although I really do like Felicity as well. Lovely choices

mumzy · 22/08/2010 22:15

William and Felicity for me as too many Joshuas and Alices around these parts

MrsJohnDeere · 22/08/2010 22:17

William and Alice. Lovely names.

zenoushka · 23/08/2010 00:28

William and Alice.

LilyBolero · 23/08/2010 00:39

Joshua or Alice

Clary · 23/08/2010 00:43

They are all nice.

Felicity is less popular if that's an issue.

Every class I know has at least one Will/Josh/Alice but that's not a problem for lots of people (obv!).

William and Felicity.
