Alice & Maxwell

Jemimapuddlemuck · 17/05/2015 21:04

Alice sounds a bit too like Eliza I think.

Go with your choice for girl, his for boy. 50-50, after all! Smile

Annie & Maxwell

Alice and Joseph.

Alice & Joseph
But I agree Alice is maybe too close to Eliza

morechildrenplease · 17/05/2015 21:20

Annie and Joseph for me

ButterflyOfFreedom · 17/05/2015 21:35

Alice & Joseph - though Maxwell is cool too and agree Alice is too similar sounding to Eliza.

DaisyChain87 · 17/05/2015 21:38

Annie and Maxwell!

DampAndRotten · 17/05/2015 21:42

Alice and Annie are both good.

Joseph is a great name.

I don't like Maxwell. It's the name of a coffee, or maybe a pet's name (sorry - no offence intended)

FunkyPeacock · 17/05/2015 21:44

Like all 4 names but Alice & Joseph are my favourites

Allalonenow · 17/05/2015 21:45

Alice and Joseph.

Not at all keen on Maxwell as it reminds me of the coffee and not keen on Max either as it is a bit dated now.

getbusyliving · 17/05/2015 22:22

Annie and Joseph would be my top picks.

Sophronia · 18/05/2015 00:09

Annie and Joseph

CakeRattleandRoll · 18/05/2015 01:23

Another vote for Annie and Joseph.

DramaAlpaca · 18/05/2015 01:33

Alice & Joseph

IWishIWishedLess · 18/05/2015 06:27

Alice and Joseph are my favourites, but I like Annie (or Anne/Ann/Anna/Angeline/Annette/ etc) too.

Not keen on Maxwell but I know a lot of people like it so I think I am the minority.

Annie and Joseph

YonicScrewdriver · 18/05/2015 06:42

Tbh I wouldn't choose another vowel name for a girl.

Madeleine/Maddy?

I dont see how having 3 vowel names is a problem?

Ah, just my opinion, I would find them hard to say together!

GlitzAndGigglesx · 18/05/2015 07:12

Annie & Joseph

SoldierBear · 18/05/2015 07:17

Alice and Joseph

Kittykatmacbill · 18/05/2015 09:44

Annie (I have one!) and Joseph - all the joe / Josephs I have known have been lovely. The maxwells less so and the coffe isn't that nice either!

KitZacJak · 18/05/2015 09:45

Joseph and Alice
