Grace or Alice

[emmie841]

I love both of these classic beautiful names but which one would you pick?

Grace 💖💖

I'd go for Alice Grace - both are beautiful names

Oh really difficult! I really like both.

I think, on balance, Grace might be more timeless, so think I'd go with Grace. Ha, go with grace sounds like the end of a church service!

Alice. By miles.

Alice - such a beautiful name

Alice or Alys.

Alice.

Grace was used as our middle name though. I know its overused as a middle but it just flowed beautifully so eh.

Plus I'm not one to care about name popularity as my DD's first name is top 15

I'm asking again, because I'm unclear and naming a baby is a big decision. Is that a problem?

I like Alice more. Grace is a difficult one if the dd turns out not to be graceful in any way.

It's rather odd to have two threads the same, why not just bounce the previous one? It would have been nice if you'd returned to the original thread and thanked people for their opinions. So yes, to me it is a problem as I wasted my time offering you help first time around which you didn't even acknowledge.

Definetly Alice ! Beautiful classic name.

Grace is pretty too but a bit too American and sweet for my taste.

Quite a similar feel for me... Alice Grace could work, then you get both?

Alice Grace, beautiful. X

Whichever you go for, keep the other for a future little sister!

I’d go for Alice. Virtue names can be a lot to live up to. I’m not graceful and neither is my DD.

Alice

Alice definitely

Alice or Alicia

Alice by a long way.

Alice by a huge amount

I once knew a very cool Grace who despised her name as she was not at all graceful, a total tomboy and very unfeminine, a bit laddish. The name seemed like a bit of a joke! There's always a risk with names like Grace, and Belle too... There's more but i cant think of them!

Love both.
I'm choosing Grace.

Naturally I’d choose Grace :)

Also I might add that all through my life I’ve just had people (mainly older) just smile and look relaxed when I say my name is Grace, followed by ‘what a beautiful name’. Have hear a lot more little ones being called Grace though
