I likw William and Joshua but Wiliam better.
NOt keen on Felicity, think Alice is lovely.

She'll probably get a fair bit of this though

Love both your girls' names - both Alice and Felicity are gorgeous and not that used.

I'm not keen on either William (especially nickname Will/Willy) or Joshua (don't like the -a ending).

William and Alice.

Love Alice and Felicity. Less keen on William or Joshua personally, but if I had to choose, I'd say William.

Jojay · 23/08/2010 12:30

William and Alice - lovely

swanandduck · 23/08/2010 16:31

William and Alice.

Although Felicity is a nice choice as well.

Joshua is a bit too popular.

PYT · 23/08/2010 16:32

William - far nicer than Joshua and not quite as popular. I'm not keen on Joshy / Josh as nicknames either, and most Joshuas become that pretty quickly.

Alice and Felicity both lovely. I'd go with Alice by a whisker, though.

sonniebonnie · 23/08/2010 16:37

Another vote for Alice! Lovely and classic.

I'd have to choose William (although don't love it, especially Will/Willie), but prefer it to Josh.

DetectivePotato · 23/08/2010 18:43

PYT I refuse to let anyone call my DS Joshy. Euughhhhh!!!!!

I can just about cope with Josh from others but I don't use it and I tell DH off too.

SE13Mummy · 23/08/2010 18:50

William and Felicity; I love Alice too but know quite a few little ones at the moment. Although Joshua is a lovely name, I have taught far too many tricky ones so would steer clear of it myself.

We very nearly used Felicity for DD1 but she looked more like a Harriet (according to DH) so that's what we chose.

angelsneverlie · 24/08/2010 20:03

My son is called joshua william and i think that they go together as they are both lovely names, if i had to pick it would be joshua and the girls name would be Alice.

LiquoriceLila · 24/08/2010 21:43

Joshua and Felicity, I really dislike the name William for some reason.

Dibbydab · 24/08/2010 21:58

I have a 3 week old Felicity and it's been well received by everyone. Alice is pretty as well Smile. Prefer William to Joshua for a boy.

BootyMum · 24/08/2010 22:27

William and Alice - lovely classic names.

horatia · 24/08/2010 22:30

William and Felicity.
