Expecting dd2 within the next week or so (due 31st) so we've been trying to filter down our names list.

We like Emilia, but would probably use it as a middle name with either Alice or Cara. So...

Alice Emilia
or
Cara Emilia

Which do you prefer?

Cara is lovely.
Always thought Alice was a bit dull tbh.

Cara nice too, it's Irish for friend.

Love Cara. Love its meaning.

Do like Alicia and Elise though. Sorry again (to all Alice's/DDs named Alice)
This not your fault Smokie gave me an earworm 23 years ago.

Not too worried about the 'who the f**k is Alice' thing. It's a generation or two removed from a newborn being called it today.

Well, dd born safely at 2.35 this morning. Still torn on names. We've been sort of calling her Cara but I'm not sure how well it's suiting her. Hoping a couple more days will help my decision

Congratulations! I like Cara because of the meaning and less popular than Alice. :)

Can't get past the fact that Alice has lice in it. Sorry.
