Ivy Alice

[DarlingLittleBabyName]

I am SO INDESCIVE, first we liked Elsie Belle, then Maggie, but now me and my DH finally agree on this name (Ivy, middle name Alice) and I think it is lovely with my first DD's name (Ruby). it really suits my DD too. What does everyone think? x

Perfect

I'm not personally keen on Ivy, sorry, though I like Alice.

Love it. Both names are lovely and classic but with a a cool slant.

@RuthW thank you! x
@daisypond thank you for your reply lovely, I like Alice too but is my sister's name and I think it would be a bit confusing haha! x

@WhereIsMyTVRemote thank you very much! ps I can totally relate to your username lol

Really pretty name combo, I really like it. I have noticed Ivy getting more popular - have met two recently - if that has an impact on your choice. Alice was on my list for my son in case he was a girl! I've only met one. I'm a teacher so I come across some names where there are so many in one class it's tricky for everyone!

@MeMeMeYou thank you! I am also a teacher (reception) haha and I have taught a few Alices but no Ivys. guess it's area! and I agree can be so hard with 10 Olivias, 15 Isabellas and 12 Georgias! x

Love it

I love it. Dd3 is Kitty Alice because my nanna died while I was pregnant with her and my nanna's name was Ivy. Our surname is a tree so we couldn't use Ivy without sounding like w list of plants. We chose my nanna's sister's name instead but if it weren't for our surname she'd be Ivy. Love it.

@Mumshappy thank you!

@m0therofdragons thank you, Kitty Alice is such a gorgeous name!

all this positive feedback is making me fall in love with the name Ivy even more! x

Ivy Alice is really lovely. So much nicer than the other names you've been suggesting. And it goes well with Ruby.

My nanna was ivy violet and I loved the name as a child. I wanted it for dd but exP vetoed it. Dd is 17 now and back then it would have been a bit "out there".

If I had another child to name I'd definitely use it. Congratulations

Love Love Love Alice
Not sure on the Ivy personally.

@DramaAlpaca so glad you think so, thank you!
@KickBishopBrennanUpTheArse oh Ivy Violet is beautiful! thank you!
@BlueMerchant thank you for your reply! Alice seems very popular on mumsnet haha x

I love those names BUT there's sort of a "phallus" sound in there which is why we can't have an Effie Alice

Lovely name. I know one little Ivy. It really suits her.

I love Ivy.
Beautiful classic and underused name

Alice works well as a mn and it goes well with ruby too

Looks like you have cracked it!

@Whereareyouspot lovely reply thank you, this really made me smile! x

I think if you're that indecisive, the best thing to do is pick a name and then not post on a naming forum asking what people think about it.

@bridgetreilly yes I see your point, it's not like I changed my mind about the previous names due to other people's views, I changed my mind because they simply didn't work for me anymore! I just wanted to see what other people from different areas think about the name Ivy, and plus extra reassurance never hurt anybody! xx

Lovely names.

I'm also a teacher. Early in my career, we had an old battleaxe school cook called Ivy. One year, she wouldn't let us have the jellies from the fridge for the Christmas party, because she and the kitchen staff were eating their lunches. They had to have them the next day. We still loved her.

Lovely name x

I have an Ivy. Ivy Alice is lovely, such a pretty name

Don't like how they sound and sort of slur together. Sounds like 'Ivy Yalice'

The names of my nans ❤️
