Tilly, Luna or Alice?

I have four children and am expecting my fifth! I am currently very pregnant and need help choosing between three names, Tilly, Luna and Alice.
We don't know the gender of baby but would love some help in choosing a name. Will give background on older siblings names.

Nancy Violet- Nancy is classy, sassy, full of grace and honors my Grandma Ann. Violet is pretty and delicate and grounds Nancy.
Archie Peyton- Archie is retro and means 'truly brave' which shows what a man should be. Peyton is for Peyton Manning as my husband is half-American and follows American football and adores Peyton Manning as does his Dad (who cried upon hearing his name was Archie Peyton).
Clara Josephine- Clara is sassy and full of spunk whilst feeling suitably adult. Josephine is for my dad, Joseph who calls her his little Clara-Jo. I liked the amount of dignified grace it brings to my rough'n'tumble Clara.
Fox Aiden- Fox is simple and sleek but brings a hint of the wild to my boy. I saw foxes EVERYWHERE in that pregnancy and when we couldn't bring ourselves to name him Freddie Jacob, my husband suggested Fox in a last-minute suggestion. Aiden is my husband's name.

So, help us choose a first name, please! I need help.

Me too Huha. Blush.
Glad it's not just me going.crazyGrin

Not Lilly. Not Tuna. So Alice.
But Alice what?
And what's the boys' list?

Haha huha! Well the middle name for a girl would be Winifred, Louisa or Alice. A boy would be Milo, Seth or Kerr. I quite like Lachlan but it may be a bit out of place.
Sorry about the descriptions. I didn't think they were twee but funny.

I like Luna but hate that it's becoming popular now Confused
Alice goes with your other names really well though I think.

Sophronia · 19/08/2016 06:32

Alice Winifred

katemess12 · 19/08/2016 06:37

I like the Luna the most.

Also, objectively like Alice, but every Alice I've known has been just like the Alice from the Vicar of Dibley.

Haaate Tilly.

PikachuSayBoo · 19/08/2016 06:46

I have a cat called Tilly and a dog called Luna.

I like both those names. However for a human baby I would choose Alice.

Gracey79 · 19/08/2016 06:52

I love Alice and like Luna not keen on Tilly as sounds like a nn

Daytona79 · 19/08/2016 07:13

Tilly is my friends dog abc Luna is my friends horses name so for me I'd pick Alice

Raines100 · 19/08/2016 09:22

Loony Luna and Silly Tilly for me, I'm afraid, unless Tilly can be switched up for Matilda when she's a grown woman.
Alice is beautiful.

thebakerwithboobs · 19/08/2016 09:28

Tilly is a girl's name but not really one I wood associate with a grown woman so maybe should be short for something? Matilda? I know a Tilly short for Yentil. Luna just reminds me of the spaced out girl from Harry Potter and Alice is a bit meh. Also suggest you don't use the word spunk to describe your children to the British audience...BlushGrin

Doinmummy · 19/08/2016 09:28

I'm not keen on any of them - I see a Jemima fitting in with the other names .

Fuckingmoles · 19/08/2016 09:32

I like Alice.
Tilly is ok but I prefer Matilda
Luna just makes me think of Harry Potter and also lunatic

Just5minswithDacre · 19/08/2016 09:50

Are you for real? All that classy, sassy winsomeness about hints of the wild and spunk makes you sound like a ten year old picking names for her dolls, to be honest.

I think it's one of those 'lost in translation' cultural things.

It made me roar though. I vote Lora is given editorship of the whole baby name board Smile

Just saying, the word 'spunk' was very much used in this country a couple of generations ago. My mother, who was very British MC certainly used it. It was very 'jolly hockey sticks' kind of speak.

Alice Winifred
Louisa Alice

Crunchymum · 19/08/2016 10:40

Urm you have shared a lot of personal details OP?

Do you not care about your privacy?

DerelictMyBalls · 19/08/2016 10:40

Winifred is a lovely name!
