Scarlett is lovely!

Scarlett sounds better with Alice. And also sounds better as a sibling for Poppy. But both names are lovely and on my 'girl names' list! So is Poppy actually, we have similar taste in names!

Well I have a Scarlett so I'm biased 😂 I like molly but I don't think Alice goes well with it. Scarlett Alice sounds beautiful together.

Scarlett's not a popular name on mn, apparently it's a stripper name 🙈😂 which is absolute ridiculous. My daughters complimented all the time on her name x

I'm not a fan of Scarlett so I'd say Molly. Molly Alice sounds really sweet. Also something to think about is that Poppies are red and so is Scarlett! Do you want a theme or don't you really mind?

Molly

Why not Alice for a first name? I prefer it personally and it goes nicely with Poppy.

scarlett

Cosmoa · 15/02/2019 20:53

Only thing about Scarlett Alice is I hear it as Scarlett Talice...

Divgirl2 · 15/02/2019 21:59

Scarlett Alice sounds like a playground teasing name for Alice the chronic blusher.

What's wrong with Alice as a first name? Alice Scarlett "goes" a lot better in my opinion.

Letthemysterybe · 15/02/2019 22:04

Scarlett is lovely.

victoria0505 · 16/02/2019 07:31

I would choose Molly as opposed to Scarlett. I'm not really a fan of Scarlett and Molly's a lot more preferable in my opinion. I love Alice by the way!

origamiunicorn · 16/02/2019 07:32

Scarlett, it's lovely.

123Flopsy · 16/02/2019 08:23

I much prefer Alice! It's nicer and more classic than Molly or Scarlet imo.

Icklepup · 16/02/2019 08:28

You've made the right decision

MsMustDoBetter · 16/02/2019 08:36

Molly Alice is gorgeous.

There is something a bit hard sounding about Scarlett and it's also very popular.

Yaxalot · 16/02/2019 10:03

Molly

I don't like Scarlett at all. I don't like the scar sound

GypsyRoseTea · 16/02/2019 10:05

Molly!

BiggFactHunt · 16/02/2019 10:11

Scarlett is a cool girls name.
Molly is ok but will blend in with all the other Mollys, Millies, Lilys, etc.
Alice is a bit wet blanket.
Definitely Scarlett for first name, it’s fab.

Dauphinois · 16/02/2019 10:25

Alice is beautiful, a different league to Molly or Scarlett.

FridayFreja · 16/02/2019 13:07

You’ve got a ‘red’ theme going there with Scarlett and Poppy!

If you have a third dd you can call her Ruby!

Tutlefru · 16/02/2019 13:10

Biased but love Scarlett.

Such a strong name. Matches my daughters personality. Grin

toomuchtoolittle · 16/02/2019 16:08

Ditto @Tutlefru

emilybrontescorsett · 16/02/2019 20:04

Scarlett.

Ethel80 · 16/02/2019 20:56

I like Scarlet better than Scarlett, it looks much nicer. I agree that Alice sounds lovely as a first name with Poppy though and would go for that.
