Ada Emilia
Alice Emilia

Which sounds prettier? Not looking for alternative suggestions though as it's taken me ages to find these names! DS has chosen the middle name Smile

Alice. Ada is awful.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/10/2017 16:56

Alice Emilia.
Sorry but Ada Emilia sounds ridiculous

CountessofGrantham · 11/10/2017 17:10

Alice. But I may be biased... 😏

I think Ada would be misheard as Ava, as long as you don't mind keeping correcting people. I love the name though. Alice is pretty too.

I don't think either flow particularly well with the middle name. I think it's that they both end start with a vowel. They wouldn't be said together often though so I don't suppose it really matters.

Ada

AnyaMoondial · 11/10/2017 17:32

Alice!

verystressedmum · 11/10/2017 17:37

Ada is not great. Alice Emilia is lovely though

Mollie85 · 11/10/2017 17:39

Alice x10000

Ada is such a hard sound.

Smoliver · 11/10/2017 17:53

Love Ada but slightly prefer Alice Emilia

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/10/2017 19:32

Alice Emilia.

MikeUniformMike · 11/10/2017 19:46

Alice.

mum2be2boys · 11/10/2017 19:51

Another vote for Alice :-)

SuperBeagle · 11/10/2017 21:52

Alice Emilia, definitely.

SleepingStandingUp · 11/10/2017 21:55

Alice

LarkDescending · 11/10/2017 22:14

Alice by miles and miles.

Alice Emilia is lovely.

DramaAlpaca · 11/10/2017 22:20

Alice

HeteronormativeHaybales · 11/10/2017 22:28

Alice.
Ada is pretty (and has a cool namesake in Ada Lovelace) but very 'now'.

PandaCat · 11/10/2017 23:03

I prefer Alice but I am biased! Plus Alice Emilia sounds beautiful, and I've no idea how to pronounce Ada tbh. I want to say Ay-da, but that's probably wrong.

Alice has become really popular though, I've noticed it on almost everyone's list lately! It wasn't this popular in 2011/2012 when we were choosing a name! Crazy haha.

Sophronia · 12/10/2017 01:09

Alice, but Ada is nice too.

Pemba · 12/10/2017 03:58

Alice is lovely, not sold on Ada.

Coey2016 · 12/10/2017 10:40

Alice

rachrach2 · 12/10/2017 10:50

Alice Emilia is beautiful

Pigofwar · 12/10/2017 11:01

I think they’re both nice. IMO Alice is prettier but Ada is cooler/more quirky

Nessalina · 12/10/2017 11:05

Alice is lovely Smile Ada goes just as well with the middle name, but I always think it's a bit of a 'Downton Abbey servant girl' sort of a name!

Alice is a classic.

spiderlight · 13/10/2017 18:17

Alice. Beautiful, classic, timeless. Ada sounds very dated to me and the final A sounds awkward with the E of Emilia.
