Alice or Marnie ?

[bebeontheway]

We are expecting a girl & have narrowed it down to these two names.

Do we go classic with Alice, and risk the royal baby being given this name and it soaring in popularity?

Or do we go with Marnie? More unique and quirky. Not short for anything, just Marnie. Our other daughter is Lara. Are the sounds too similar 'Lar' and 'Mar' ?

Would love some opinions!

Love Marnie - DS would've been Marnie.

Lara and Alice go very well together and come from the same genre. Lara and Marnie don't to my mind.

Marnie

I think Lara and Marny go better together - better assonance.

I am really overwhelmed by all the remarks.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond!
