Alice or Isabelle

[OtherUsername]

DC2 is going to be a girl! Alice and Isabelle are my top 2 choices but I'm not sure which one to go for, any opinions? Surname is 2 syllables and ends in an 'ee' sound.

Alice. I like Isabel or Isobel but not Isabelle.

Isabelle, but I prefer Isobel.

I've got a 7 month Isobel

Alice. Don't like Izzy.

‘Isabelle necessary on a bicycle’...just can never get that saying out of my head..Alice on the other hand...beautiful. What do I know though , I have all boys...👍🏻

My dd is Alice.

Ds (7) has 5 variously spelt Isabels in his class alone (god knows why they put them all in the 1 class - poor teacher!)

Alice. Isabelle (or variations of) is just too popular and overused currently imo.

Alice

Alice.

My dds an Alice, and she’s 7.

It’s just a classic name. I have a classic name and so does dd1. Dhs name however, is erm...not.

I love Isabel, like Isabelle. Alice is nice but a bit plain.

Alice, no contest.

My nan was (and my little cat is) Alice. I have a habit of lengthening names so the cat gets called Alicia some times 🤷🏼‍♀️

Isabelle although prefer Isobel spelling.

I prefer Alice.

I know tons of children called Isabel/le/la. There must be at least one in every class in my child's school. I don't know any called Alice.

Ooo Alicia! I like that!

Definitely alice! Beautiful and not as common as Isabelle.

Alice

Definitely Alice. Lots of children called Isabelle these days. Is she going to have a middle name?

Hmm hadn't considered the multiple spelling conundrum! Middle names contenders are Matilda (dh's grandmother) Violet (one of my great grandmothers) or Ivy (my dgm)

anya, which is also a beautiful name btw, I loved how jack Nicholson as the joker pronounced Alicia, when referring to Jerry Hall’s character in Batman. I try that on my cat but she’s unmoved

other my other nan who died before I was born was called Ivy. My grandad wanted my mum to give me it as middle name but it would have meant my initials were RIP!

I have an Alice (14 months)

I have an Alice, it's a good classic, ageless name. Goes well with Matilda and violet, not so good with Ivy I don't think.

Alice Matilda would be lovely.
