A sibling for Alice

Hello, I'm due in June and struggling to find a baby name that both me and my husband love. We have lots we both like but none standing out from everything else. What does everyone think. Our 7 year old is called Alice.

Girls names -
Evelyn
Elsie
Edith
Tilly
Amelie
Annie

Boys names -
Henry
Arthur
Ralph
Aiden

We don't want anthing that will be too popular with 5 in each class, any suggestions to go with Alice?

Elise sounds like Alice but said with an accent. And I'd stay away from anything else beginning with A as I think that siblings all having the same initial is a bit "Kardashian".

BonnieBea · 27/02/2019 23:09

My favourites are Elsie, Edith and Amelie. I like Aiden too

HeartvsHead · 27/02/2019 23:12

I'd avoid another A name (unless you like the AA?) Also if another girl A it's annoying when they get older and have Miss A Surname on post. Which one? Trivial but used to annoy sisters no end when they opened one another's post!

I like Evelyn and Edith for girls and Henry for boy.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 27/02/2019 23:12

Evelyn - nice but don't love it
Elsie - bit similar to alice
Edith - no
Tilly - cute but prefer matilda
Amelie - really nice
Annie - looove, my favourite of your list

Boys names -
Henry - love
Arthur - like this
Ralph - Meh. This is one of those names that seems posh and a bit silly at the same time (reminds me of Ralph from the simpsons)
Aiden - no

I think Alice and Edith or Alice and Arthur are both beautiful pairs of names.

junebirthdaygirl · 27/02/2019 23:15

Love the name Edith. A few suggestions for Martha which l think goes lovely with Alice.
Also like Constance and Beatrice.
For a boy Alice and Ralph go well together.

Sweetcornandmash · 27/02/2019 23:16

Calzone - I love Maggie but stupidly decided to call the dog Maggie 6 when we got her 6 months ago Sad why oh why Grin

Alice and Kate
Alice and Wilfred

SpacePenguin · 28/02/2019 00:09

Kitty, Joan, Nellie, Dorothy, Ruth, Christina or Rosalie for a girl

I like Henry a lot with Alice, but Henry is fairly popular. How about Marcus, Rory, Finn, Frank, Edwin, Colin, Owen or Stanley?

piggie88 · 28/02/2019 01:13

I love Alice, it was one of our choices for our second baby but my husband’s least favourite of our list. Our oldest is Phoebe.

From your list Edith and Amelie were also on our list and for a boy I love Henry and Ralph. I’d be struggling too, you’ve got some lovely choices.

Peachbubble · 28/02/2019 05:50

I like Edith and Henry from your lists. How about

Elodie
Cara
Felicity
Heidi

Elijah
Felix
Noah
Oscar

abcriskringle · 28/02/2019 06:51

Hmmm Henry is very popular in my area and Evelyn is too (lots of little Evies running around) so I'd be careful with those if you don't want popular. I like Annie and Arthur best from the others.

MercyBodle · 28/02/2019 09:21

Edith and Ralph are the gorgeous standouts from your lists for me - and great with Alice.

StellaRae · 28/02/2019 09:52

I thought Henry before I saw your list. Lovely with Alice.

I like Evelyn too.

Other suggestions:
Zoe
Martha
Helena
Clara

IHeartMarmiteToast · 28/02/2019 10:03

Before I'd even opened this I thought Evelyn

For a boy I like William or Henry
