Isla or Alice

[emmie841]

Both on my short list, both pretty names. Which do you prefer?

Alice. They are both lovely but Isla is so popular at the moment, Alice is a bit more timeless.

I prefer Alice.

Alice, definitely. Isla will date badly.

Alice is timeless. Isla is too "of the moment" so it will date.

Alice. It's a classic whereas Isla will date.

I came on to say the same as everyone else! Alice is a timeless name and will always be beautiful. Congratulations on your pregnancy by the way x

I really like Isla

Alice, it's timeless. I liked it for a girl but unfortunately doesn't go with our surname.

I prefer Isla, it doesn't feel to me like it will date but I'm scottish. Alice always sounds prissy to me.

Isla is pretty but there are so many similar names like Lila, Skyla and Mila etc.

Charlotte won't drop out of fashion because of the young princess.

Both nice. Both popular.

Alice is probably more popular than Isla, but Alice is also more classic so won’t end up feeling so dated

Alice

Alice by a billion miles and I don't even particularly like that so you can imagine my feelings on Isla..

Alice definitely of the two- it's a classic name. Isla is much more trendy and will likely date.

I much prefer Alice.

Alice just simple and classic. Plus you will have Alice in wonderland books etc. Kids love their name in a story

Isla sounds like your trying to hard to be trendy or something

Definitely Alice. One of my all time favourites but when we had DD I realised it really doesn't go with our surname plus sounds too much like the shortened version of DH's first name...so disappointing

Should of just changed your husband

Alice

We're going to name ours Alice so I'm very biased! Have a noticed a lots of threads here recently though (including mine) with people considering the name though so don't know if that's indicative of a rise in popularity at all.

Isla

I prefer Isla. I just don't like the hissing sound in Alice.

Both are so pretty! Isla is probably my favourite, just because I know a sweet Isla :)

Alice. My DH friend and his wife called their baby daughter Isla. Unfortunately their surname was White... They didn't cop it until everybody commented on it. They changed the babies name when she was 4 months

Both lovely names, but I also prefer Alice
