Alice, it's timeless!

Grace also lovely and classic

Not a fan of Layla, very popular now and I think it will date

HeeeeyDuggee · 08/11/2020 16:07

Grace or Layla

CoffeeandKitKat · 08/11/2020 16:13

Alice

Carouselfish · 08/11/2020 16:13

Layla or Alice. Think Grace is very hard and letters not attractive.

user1493494961 · 08/11/2020 16:14

Alice. Dislike Layla.

Twizbe · 08/11/2020 16:43

All nice. Go in with all three and she what she looks like when she is born

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 08/11/2020 16:46

Alice

Alice.

missmouse101 · 08/11/2020 16:51

Alice is the least bad but I'm afraid I don't like any of them.

ShanCalla · 08/11/2020 17:34

I'd go for Layla.
Digs out Eric Clapton album.

Alice and Grace are lovely too.

Peachbubble · 08/11/2020 17:37

Alice

Quizeerascal · 08/11/2020 17:38

Alice and Grace are lovely and timeless but Grace seems to have been very popular in recent years if that bothers you. I'm less keen on Layla but its still a good name, prefer it spelt Leila. As others have said I think bear all three in mind and see what she looks like.

DramaAlpaca · 08/11/2020 17:41

Alice.

AdaColeman · 08/11/2020 17:42

Alice and Grace are both lovely, but I'm not too keen on Layla.

InvisibleToEveryone · 08/11/2020 17:44

Hate Layla.

Grace, very popular.

Alice, I like.

Juliet? Seems to be similar vein to yours. I know you aren't asking for more...

EisQuiaPiusEs · 08/11/2020 17:44

Alice. It's lovely.

Not Layla.

Alice or Grace

Grace

TheDetectiveBadge · 08/11/2020 17:48

Grace and Alice are both more popular than Layla currently. Layla is definitely my favourite!

JackHam · 08/11/2020 17:52

Alice

Namechange8471 · 08/11/2020 18:08

Grace is lovely

MikeUniformMike · 08/11/2020 18:25

Alice.

Grace is ok but I don't like Layla

Krazynights34 · 08/11/2020 18:56

Grace

Enderline · 09/11/2020 10:23

Statistically speaking, Layla is the least popular - but because of so many spelling variations (Laila, Leila, Leyla) as well as similar sounding names (Lila, Lyla, Leela, Lola) - it won't stand out from the crowd much.

I don't really care for Alice or Grace either, but both are timeless and classic enough.
