Absolutely love both and Emily! I would sway towards Anna though.

No.......sorry, can’t choose!
All I would say is that all the Alice’s I know have been completely bonkers (in a good way).

Anna is my fave as it's so international as well as being simple, classic, elegant and suits all ages. Alice does have a similar feel in many ways but is not as well used internationally (plus isn't a cool palindrome which a kid might appreciate!)

Both are really great names and work well aside Emily. Today, I vote Alice as I like the matching five letters with Emily. Grin Anna is fabulous too though.

Anna. I loathe Alice personally.
