I really like Alice :-)

partyatthepalace · 06/01/2021 22:43

Both v nice! Alice probably a little more popular if that matters to you.

I love Alice. I also love the name April

ellenpartridge · 06/01/2021 23:02

Alice but both lovely

Josie465 · 06/01/2021 23:02

Alice!

That’s a hard one - love both of those. DD has Alice as a middle name but I’d probably go with Iris as a first as despite recent popularity it still feels a bit fresher, and I love all its associations (rainbow/goddess/flower).

Iris. Alice to me sounds a bit weak.

zgaze · 06/01/2021 23:03

Love both...I have an Alys which seems like a nice hybrid of your names Smile

Alice, my favourite name!

Iris is beautiful.

Alice is OK but a bit lacking in oomph.

WitchesGlove · 06/01/2021 23:08

Alice is so boring

Iris is beautiful

TottiePlantagenet · 06/01/2021 23:36

Iris, without a doubt.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 06/01/2021 23:39

Iris.

Alice is boring and prissy.

ButterfliesandMoths · 06/01/2021 23:42

Both lovely names but given the choice I'd go with Iris.

Longdistance · 06/01/2021 23:46

I have an Alice. Still love it as a name.

Tatum1234 · 06/01/2021 23:47

Iris is lovely.

IdblowJonSnow · 06/01/2021 23:50

Iris

MercyBodle · 07/01/2021 00:10

I love both. I would choose Iris though for its quirkier, sassier quality.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/01/2021 00:45

Iris
