Middle name for Alice?

Surname is quite blunt and masculine sounding, beginning with p.

Possible contenders are:

Gwendoline (family name)
Maria
Ruby
Emerald (dd1 has jade so thought it would be cool to continue the gemstone theme)
Ciara
Cara
Naomi

Further suggestions welcome :)

Our boy would have been Alice Elizabeth if he'd been... well, a girl. Obviously Grin

I was convinced Alice would be a boy till we had the scan. She was going to be John.

I love Alice Emerald and Alice Ruby to carry on the gemstone theme.

Alice Gwendoline is nice too.

I have an Alice Josephine!
I wasn't convinced they went together, but Alice was the only first name we could agree on, and I had a really cool great aunt called Josephine that I wanted to name my daughter after!

Thank you all. Flowers Well if anything I now have more of a choice. She's getting registered on 24th April so time to see what sticks.

Omg, Alice Josephine is fabulous!

My cousin's DD is Alice Mae.

I'm pretty sure that Esmeralda is the Spanish for emerald.

There's an Alice Rose and an Alice Mary in our family

Crochetty · 14/04/2017 21:40

Please don't choose May or Rose as a middle name... almost every girl I know has one or the other (ok so exaggerating a bit but it does feel like it sometimes... they are the 21st century equivalents of the 1970's Ann, Jane and Louise!) lots of the longer suggestions are lovely and with both the first name and surname being short I would go long in the middle personally. Alice Aurora is wonderfully alliterative!

Consider the initials AMP is not good, neither is ALP unless you want the child to have such a nickname.
