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

Ivy is worse than Elsie. Awful.
Alice is nice though.

I think Ruby and Ivy sound great as sisters.
Congrats. Enjoy them both

That is the most beautiful name I have heard in a long time.

Ivy is so beautiful. Really lovely name op!

Lovely, nice change from the variations of Evie without being too out there. I am biased though, as if I didn't already have a horse called Ivy it would have been on my shortlist, Alice is 🙂

I prefer Ivy to Elsie and Maggie and it goes far better with Ruby.
I saw your other thread and didn't think Maggie worked but didn't want to say anything as it looked like you had already decided. Ruby is pretty whereas Maggie is a cool name that's adorable on a little girl but it it's not very pretty for a teen or adult, and potentially a bit frumpy, unlike Ruby which is lovely.
Ivy and Ruby sound like sisters!

Beautiful

I think it's really lovely. And I love Ruby and Ivy as sisters.

Wanted to call youngest Alice, love the name

It feels a bit Victorian scullery maid to me!

Beautiful name choice! I adore Alice, it's been my favourite girls name forever. But Ivy Alice sounds lovely, and goes really well with Ruby.
