Love both names and struggling to decide. Which would you choose? x

Lily

Rupertpenrysmistress · 04/08/2021 20:28

I have a lily, yes, it's popular but a lovely name that suits all ages.

Alice.

Lily feels a bit ‘early 2000’s’.

Love Alice.
Lily feels dated around here. Very popular 10years or so ago.

I genuinely like both names. Toss a coin, you can’t go wrong.

Lily

Lily

MsTSwift · 04/08/2021 20:44

They are both very popular Lily more so if that bothers you

Alice always sounds a bit limp to me.

I'd go for Lily.

Goes to show how people differ, I think the opposite. I find Alice a strong classic name that could take you anywhere yet find Lily a bit wishy washy.

Alice. I think it’s a beautiful name and more unusual than Lily.

irresistibleoverwhelm · 04/08/2021 20:47

Alice for me, but they’re both nice!

ActonSquirrel · 04/08/2021 20:49

Alice

Classic and royal

Alice

Datsandcogs · 04/08/2021 20:56

I love Alice.

Lily is very popular and a little dated, but more than that won’t suit every girl - it’s a delicate, willowy style of name to me.

PaolaDiLorenzo · 04/08/2021 20:57

They are both nice but I prefer Lily slightly more. Alice seems better as a middle name. Lily Alice would be lovely.

TonkinLenkicks · 04/08/2021 20:57

We had to chose between Alice and Lily.

We went with Lily and love it

PidgeInAPud · 04/08/2021 20:59

Alice definitely.
