Hi all, just after some opinions on these two names, I'm due twin girls soon and have narrowed our list down to Alice & Isobel, we already have an Emily. X

Nice names

Pinkypink · 30/08/2020 15:49

Really love both names and think they sound great together and with Emily.
Esp like Isobel spelt that way. For no good reason.
Congrats

Nice

My two favourite babes other than the name my DD has.
If I had twin girls I'd name them that!

Fromthebirdsnest · 30/08/2020 15:53

Beautiful and not too matchy but sound lovely together, Emily is a very pretty name too and goes well x congratulations on your twins how exciting! X

I like both names but don't like the Isobel spelling

I like both names but don't like the Isobel spelling

Totally agree!

WishingOnACarrot · 30/08/2020 16:10

Love the Isobel spelling. Isabelle is too fussy imho....

Fifthtimelucky · 30/08/2020 16:20

Both great names, and they go well with Emily.

I prefer the Isobel spelling you are proposing to use to other options.

BasiliskStare · 30/08/2020 16:22

I prefer the Isobel spelling - more classic IMHO but then not my daughter - both names lovely OP

Whenwillow · 30/08/2020 16:23

Lovely!

moonriver32 · 30/08/2020 16:38

Both lovely, and that's my favourite spelling of Isobel which I always think isn't used enough!

Dededa · 30/08/2020 17:12

Both lovely.

Alice is an absolute favourite of mine, but couldn’t use it.

Starbuggy · 30/08/2020 17:15

Isobel with that spelling is one of my favourite names, and it’s goes beautifully with Alice and Emily without being matchy matchy. Just classic beautiful names

kittenpeak · 30/08/2020 17:25

Beautiful names. I think Isabel is prettier than Isobel though.

KindKylie · 30/08/2020 17:33

Really lovely!

Oneandabean · 30/08/2020 19:17

I prefer Isabelle to Isobel, I don’t like the way it’s said and looks. Love Alice

zigaziga · 30/08/2020 19:57

I really like both names and I LOVE the Isobel spelling. So much nicer than Isabelle.

WildCherryBlossom · 30/08/2020 20:17

Good choice for twins. Sound different, but pair very well, and roughly similar levels of popularity (in my neck of the woods at least)

Congratulations OP

BikeTyson · 30/08/2020 20:18

I like both, slightly prefer Alice. I like the Isobel spelling too.

Beautyoftheirdreams · 30/08/2020 20:19

I have an Isobel so I'm biased but I love it and that way of spelling. It's less popular than the other spellings. I like Alice too but prefer Emily

pilates · 30/08/2020 20:20

Lovely

Firebird83 · 30/08/2020 22:17

Lovely. Definitely prefer the Isobel spelling!

Missdrifter · 30/08/2020 22:19

Love the names! We have just had an Alice and both the other two names were on our shortlist too! The names sound gorgeous together! All timeless names in my opinion x

izzybobsmum · 30/08/2020 22:25

I have an Isobel and love the spelling, and one of my best friends is an Alice. I think both names are classic and unfussy.
