Hi all; I am torn between girls' names, and would greatly appreciate your input, so which two do you like best;

Ada May
Ada Grace
Ina Rose
Viola May
Alice May
Althea Rose

Alice May
Ada Grace

Donotbequotingmeinbold · 20/06/2018 13:01

Ada Grace is lovely!

MariaMadita · 20/06/2018 13:14

Ada Grace is lovely imo.

I also like Viola. :)

GahWhatever · 20/06/2018 13:20

All lovely except Ina.

daisypond · 20/06/2018 13:21

I really like Viola. Alice is nice as well. Althea will grow on me. I don't like Ada or Ina.

MariaMadita · 20/06/2018 13:25

I agree with the previous poster... I don't like Ina either.

ShirleyWilliams · 20/06/2018 13:40

Hate Ina, others nice

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 20/06/2018 13:51

Ina and Ada are awful.
Alice Rose would be lovely.

MatildaLovesBooks · 20/06/2018 14:02

Ada 10%

Peachbubble · 20/06/2018 14:02

Alice May or Viola May

MikeUniformMike · 20/06/2018 14:06

I don't like May. It's a filler middle name and I think it weakens the first name. Rose and Grace are nicer but also very popular as middle names.

Ada - don't like it much. Ada Lovelace just about saves it. Too similar to Ava.
Ina - don't like it. looks like "in a"
Viola - fine.
Alice - lovely.
Althea - sounds like a Seat or Toyota.

MikeUniformMike · 20/06/2018 14:06

How about Alice Viola?

sidonie1 · 20/06/2018 14:24

Ada Grace and Viola May are beautiful. I think I love Viola the best if pushed.

Pemba · 20/06/2018 14:47

Alice May or Viola May.

frogsoup · 20/06/2018 14:52

Ida is nice as alternative to Ina and Ada, neither of which I'm v keen on.

MikeUniformMike · 20/06/2018 14:54

Ida sounds like 'I had a'. It's awful.

Sophronia · 20/06/2018 15:19

Ada but with a different middle name (May and Grace are both a bit filler/boring).

MariaMadita · 20/06/2018 15:20

Ida is nice :) (not as nice as Ada but still lovely)

Alma, Clara and Cora are similar.

Jj2431 · 20/06/2018 15:21

Ada Grace

frogsoup · 20/06/2018 17:14

Mike horses for courses. It makes me think of Laura Ingalls Wilder's gentle friend Ida in Little House on the Prairie!

gwen25 · 20/06/2018 17:40

Ada Grace and Alice May

MikeUniformMike · 20/06/2018 17:49

Ida Ho!

MizCracker · 20/06/2018 17:51

May, Grace and Rose are the three most ubiquitous girl’s middle names over the last 10/20 years. You know how all girls in the 80s had either Ann, Jane or Louise as their middle name? That.

Love Ada and Viola though Smile

Donotbequotingmeinbold · 20/06/2018 18:16

I think Grace and Rose are beautiful names and am also very fond of Ann, Louise and Jane.

DiegoMadonna · 20/06/2018 18:30

Love Ada. The middle names are all bland but I guess Grace is best.
