Middle name for Alice

18 replies

My partner and I have decided on the name Alice for our impending baby girl.

We want to use two family names for the baby’s middle name but are unsure what order they sound better in. Would appreciate any opinions as to what sounds better:
Alice Violet Laura
Or
Alice Laura Violet

Just a heads up that we cannot use one middle name without the other.

They both sound a bit clunky but I think I'd go for a Alice Laura Violet.

I agree it sounds a mouthful but we are a but stuck between honouring 2 much loved family members and picking something that flows better.

Originally loved Alice Elizabeth but DP is pushing for family names as a middle.

And yet another vote for Alice Laura Violet.

I don't find it clunky, I like it.

Could have Viola
The Vio of Violet and the La of Laura

Alice Violet Laura. If you put the 'Laura' first the 'l' in Alice and the 'l' in Laura are too close together, making it slightly more tongue twister-ish. Nice names, BTW.

Alice Violet Laura for me, though it’s marginal. Lovely choices OP.
