Alice or Bella? (Could be Isabella)

I don’t need to hear if you don’t like either, would just like to know which one people like more!

Bella is pretty common but she’s been Bella since we found out we were having a girl, now Alice is in the mix it’s thrown me off haha!

Alice. Bella makes me think belly.

We have an Alice Isabella.

Her cousin is called Bella.

They are Ali & Bell.

If you chose Alice Just go with the normal spelling or you'll never get stuff with your daughters name on and she'll always be having to tell people how to spell it.

I prefer Isabella.

Alice. My mum's name so I am biased, but also objectively think it is beautiful.

DD has Mae as one of her middle names. I once again say Alice.

Alice Isabella is lovely

I had a little girl 5 weeks ago and we named her Isabella but Bella for short. Had lots of compliments on it and I absolutely love the name! I did have Alice on my short list too but DP was not a fan!

Thetimetravelerswife · 24/11/2019 19:06

Alice

Then Isabella nn Bella

Not a fan of Bella by itself.

I think both Alice and Isabella are lovely and you can’t go wrong. So go with whichever u prefer.

Alice mostly as I know so many Isabellas - I liked it for my little one but husband said no A names as surname is A
