dtds are due in less than 2 weeks. dd1 is Lydia Victoria, twin 1 will be Heidi Matilda and twin two is the one we're struggling with. We're torn between Kitty Alice or Alice Kitty. It would be Kitty (from the 16th century) NOT Catherine etc as it is a family name.

Basically, we feel Alice is a safe name no-one will object to, Kitty will raise eyebrows (esp on dh side - my side I would hope will like it due to family connection.). I've met a few Alices but no Kittys - thought I know they exist on here.

Help me make a decision, please!

Alice Kitty. Kitty is one of those names that won't work so well when they're older / trying to be taken seriously in their profession etc.

Kitty is an old fashioned name that has stood the test of time and is perfectly fine for an adult.

I think we've decided Kitty Alice. I don't get the whole issue about it not being an adult's name as my great aunt seemed to carry it off fine and she was in her 70s when I knew her.

Kitty definitely! Good choice. I think it goes better with your others too.

Definately Kitty Alice :D Although Alice is cute too :) I adore the name Heidi good choice there!

Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, I love the name Kitty. I've never been a fan of Alice as a first name - seems a bit plain to me. I'd definitely go with Kitty Smile.
