Still have doubts, please advise!

[EducationComesFirst]

Our daughter is 5 weeks old and we need to register her this week. We called her Alice and whilst I like it, I still have doubts...

Her siblings are Elizabeth (sometimes nn Eliza) and Edward. Sometimes I question the following:

• Are Elizabeth/Eliza and Alice too similar, so sound odd together?

• Is Alice mega popular, so will soon become common/overused/dated? Do you know many Alices?

• There are not many nicknames (unlike her siblings names). It would be nice to have options (Allie is ok, but not great).

Another contender was Alexandra. It is beautiful and strong (maybe a bit too masculine though), goes well with siblings. I like it's full version, it has lots of nickname options (although I don't like any of the shortening really).

Could you share your views on my doubts about Alice?
Also, would Alexandra be a better option?

Thanks in advance!

I have been thinking about the names for so long that I am just tired, going off all names and doubt myself, especially when I have to make such a big decision. Thank you all for your responses though, really appreciate it.

Maybe (mn baby names classic advice ) wait till she’s here and see what she looks like? We left it till we were in theatre with dc2, planning to wait till we saw what he looked like. The doctors and nurses were helping us choose. Was really lovely. A very nice memory. The doctor who delivered him was Irish (like I am) so that swayed us a bit towards our Irish baby name choice! When he came out, he just looked like a X. It suits him perfectly.

Penelope OP's baby is 5 weeks old

Alice is a fab name!

Haha whoops! I did actually did read the op when I first commented, but promptly forgot 🤦‍♀️.

Sorry op! Super unhelpful .

What did you decide OP? We are in the same boat, DD is 3 weeks old and Alice was my top choice but now having doubts and just can't make a decision

They are both good and classic names. I don't know any Alice and know a few Alexandras butI don't think it's a very common name. I personally prefer Akexandra but there's absolutely nothing wrong with Alice.
Elizabeth and Alice are both well known names and don't think they are similar.
In the end it's still your child and you need to decide which name you prefer and suits your daughter. Good luck

I like Alice.

Alice is lovely. I've met only one irl at the numerous stay and plays, playparks and library sessions we go to.
