Alice or Isabelle

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 am biased as I have a 6 year old Alice. Not a fan of Isabelle in general though.

I like the sound of Alice Ivy

Isabelle is beautiful. Alice is ok but not in the same league as Isabelle.

Thanks everyone, I think I have gone off Isabelle/Isabel/Isobel. DH thinks Alice is 'a bit posh' and that my name suggestions are too 'royal baby' but he hasn't ruled it out. Other choices on the potential list are Nancy or Ruby - any thoughts?

I liked Ruby for a second until DD1 became friends with ont at school.

Whatthef.......... What a horrible name ☹️

Alice for me. Classic, elegant and much less popular that Isabelle.

Weirdly enough my sister is called Isobel Alice and our surname also has 2 syllables ending in an EE sound! So I'm obviously biased but I think it's wonderful. Sorry to hear you've gone off it :( Nancys quite nice but a little bit Oliver Twist and I really hate Ruby. Probably because I had about a trillion kids in my last class called either Scarlet or Ruby haha.
