Please help. Having our baby in 2 days (new years eve) and still haven't agreed on her name. Baby brain means I'm struggling making a decision!

Please vote... Alice or Holly??

Thank you all so much xx

Alice has consistently been in the top 50 ish of names but never much higher so it's always about but never dated.

I agree it's getting more popular, and it's strangely popular in Germany and Sweden at the moment but I still don't think it'll date.

It's one of the few names where I genuinely know people of ages varying from 90 to newborn.

Can you tell I have an Alice 😍

I would go for Holly. There aren't many Hollys around now and Alices are everywhere. Alice is also a very wet fish name.

Alice, although Alicia has more substance to it.

I think both are really beautiful names but if I HAD to pick - Holly.
