Emily or Alice?

[busybee87]

Any thoughts on either of these? Middle name would be Freda. And before the boards say they're both too popular, I don't give a fig about that 😊

Also love Charlotte but it doesn't go with our surname.

I love Emily.

I love the name Freda! I think both Emily Freda and Alice Freda go quite well but I prefer Alice. It’s more classic and hasn’t had the big popularity that Emily has had at times.
I’m not always a fan of alternative spellings but if you do go with Emily you could consider Emilie to make it a bit more unusual.

I think Emily Freda has a nice rhythm.

Alice 😍

Freda or Emily

They're both lovely

Both are lovely names

Alice, lovely. Everyone I know called Alice is delightful.

Definitely Alice.
( My judgement may be clouded by all the Emily's I know being totally vile).

Both lovely, I prefer Emily

Both lovely names, but Alice.

Current name popularity rank according to Darker Greener:

Emily #11
Alice #25
Freda #1854

Love both!

I like both.

I prefer Emily

Definitely Alice for me - it's the most timeless and avoids the current trends for y/ie ending names and all the Ellie/ Millie/ Lily sounds that classic Emily gets lost in at the moment.

Freda is very lovely though!

I love both Emily and Alice but don't like Freda.

Emily Freda sounds better than Alice Freda I think.

Thanks all. Freda is after a family member who we lost so that's staying. Will have a ponder but thanks for your opinions!

I like Freda more than either of them, but Alice is a close second.

Emily is fusty.

I think Alice Elfreda flows better than Alice Freda but Alice Freda is fine.

I like both Emily and Alice, but would choose Alice.

I like them both a lot, but I think Emily flows best with Freda.

Alice

I was allowed to name my sister when she was born 20 years ago and that’s what I picked. She really loves her name and it’s suited her at every stage in her life. I sort of wish I saved it for my daughter!

This is so lovely to hear. Alice is my favourite name for my baby girl but I am worried if she will like it. It's reassuring to hear that she loves her name

Alice! We have an Alice and it's lovely. Really suits her and she loves it. Not many of them around either 🥰
