I'm pregnant with baby no.4 (3rd girl) and can't decide between the above 3 names...

Alice - I really like but the 1st letter is the same as the 1st letter as one of my other daughters which isn't ideal, IMO. Also no decent nns...

Emilia - I love and also love Emi/Emmy but I dislike Amelia (irrational I know). I like Emily but know quite a few and I don't like it enough...

Beatrice - I love and also love Bea/Bebe but it's a little bit more unusual/old-fashioned than my other dcs names...I know it's "in" at the moment but the other 3 are classics/more popular..

I am 45 and had a Beatrice in my class at primary school then there is Beatrice York and my DD(14)'s new best friend is Bea (Beatrice) so I don't think it is especially now. I think it's lovely, all of the above seem to be really nice people too.

Hi, I just gave birth to a beautiful girl and we can’t decide on a name. We are choosing between Alice an Ava. We have a boy named Hudson at home. Last name starts with A. Please vote!

Alice, Emilia or Beatrice.

I love Alice. It doesn't need a nickname.

I dislike Emilia. It's just so popular and then there are all of the Amelias as well.

I like Beatrice a lot. DH and I thought about both Beatrix and Beatrice for quite some time. We went back and forth but right now Beatrix is on our list because it sounds more fashionable and young to us.

Beatrice - nn Bea. Gorgeous! I don’t think it will date at all and seems elegant and traditional to me perhaps because of HRH Princess Beatrice x

Your baby is lovely, congratulations but maybe make your own thread as you are currently on someone else’s x

I am sorry I didn’t realise I am on someone feed.
