Sister for Alice

[Alicehairband]

Hi,

Dd1 is Alice and I absolutely love the name, it’s classic, elegant and feminine.

If I could, I would name Dd2 Alice too! But I just can’t.

Which name is in the same vein as Alice and would match well:

Hannah

Emily
Lily

Thanks all

Emily is boring. (Like Emmeline though). Hannah is a bit dated - more 30 year old woman than baby. Lily is gorgeous and perfect match for Alice!

I'm thinking of all the Alices I know and their sisters are Daisy, Amelie, Rachel, Lauren and Fern.

If I was naming a sister for Alice I would go with Clara, Betsy, Molly, Polly etc

Of your three: Lily is pretty but there are so many of them. Emily ditto. I love the name Hannah and I like the fact it is a bit dated because it means there aren't so many of them.

I have 3 boys but if I had girls I would have called them Grace and Alice

My Alice is Alice Grace! I adore her name even 18 years on.

Alices I know have sisters called Grace, Betsy, Olivia, Honor, Laura, Blanche and Elizabeth.

From your list I like Emily or Hannah. Lily doesn’t feel nearly so classic, and could almost be a nickname for Alice itself.

I think Alice and Eliza would be nice together.

Agree with PP that Emily is a bit boring but maybe that’s because the two Emily’s I know are very boring. What about Emmy or Emilia.

I like Lily but prefer it as a middle name. Hannah sounds quite grown up, I can never imagine a baby Hannah for some reason but it’s not very common anymore so that could be a good choice.

Kate
Eliza(beth)
Olivia
Ella

Liliana (Lily)

Lily or Emily.

My first name is the same as your dd1 and my middle name is Hannah so in my mind they go perfectly.

Emily

From your list Hannah, but I'd think Annabel/ Annabelle would go better with Alice

Alice and Emily out of your choices, beautiful names.

Lucy would also go nicely with Alice.

I don't think Hannah is the same type of name as Alice though.

Alice and Hannah is my favourite.

Alice and Emily go well together.

Alice and Lily are a bit of a mouthful together!

I agree with pps that Emily is the most similar in style to Alice. Lovely name, as is Alice. The names seem to come from the same era (Victorian).

Lily does too I suppose, and it is pretty, but a bit lightweight compared to Alice. Alice is more classic. Also Alice and Lily - too many 'l's altogether.

I quite like Hannah, but it doesn't seem to go as well as Emily. I prefer Anna anyway.

I agree with a pp's suggestion of Lucy, or Eleanor would work really well too.

But I see you are not taking new suggestions!

Emily

( Although personally I'd choose Anna)

Hannah, but as poster above said I'd go with Anna

Would love to hear what you pick OP @Alicehairband

I’m an Alice. Me and the other Alice’s I know have sisters called:
Jessica x 2
Lucy
Zoe
Martha

I'd pick Lily from your list but I think Emily is the most classic of the three.

If I had to chose from your list, it would be lily. But I don’t think any of them go with Alice.

I love Alice , I would go with Ella or Bethany (beth) or Emily , Ava , Polly , Charlotte (lottie) x

Out of the three names I prefer Emily.
I know an Alice with a little sister called Eloise.

Definitely Emily from your choices.

I have an Alice too, it's is a lovely name.
