Interested in thoughts on this name.
Would be used with a very unusual, pretty, one syllable middle name.

Amazing name. An old classic. Timeless and regal.

Family name for us. Love it. Can fit any occasion.

Mine is a moody teen and it suits her as well as it did as an adorable 4 year old.

My Alice is 7. I love the name! She’s the only one in her year at school. I think I know 2 others in the whole school (3 classes per year).

DramaAlpaca · 01/09/2021 21:01

I absolutely love Alice.

serialname · 01/09/2021 21:05

Lovely name - we have the Welsh version

YesPleaseMary · 01/09/2021 21:06

Alice is an awesome name. I have one 🙂

AvonCallingBarksdale · 01/09/2021 21:09

We have an Alice ❤️ She loves her name as do we. It’s a beautiful name.

My daughter is Alice, always loved the name and it really suits her. Don't actually know any other kids with this name around where we live.

Chachachawoo · 02/09/2021 10:09

Can't believe nobody's asked what the unusual and pretty middle name is?

Love Alice.

This is really helpful, thanks.
I’m reassured that it’s not too “now”, which was my biggest concern!

Love Alice. Would have deffo considered it for DD2 but sadly one of our best friends nabbed it before us!

woodfort · 02/09/2021 16:11

It’s a beautiful name and so timeless. You will never hear of an Alice and automatically know how old she is the way you can with so many other names.

TartanJumper · 02/09/2021 21:45

Love it.
Hate Alison, mind.

Balonzette · 03/09/2021 05:24

I think it's fine. Boring, but pretty. Nobody is going to cringe about it or laugh or bully etc so can't go wrong.

Chunkymenrock · 03/09/2021 05:43

To me, it's the ultimate wet name. Just reminds me of a painfully shy 8 year old child.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 03/09/2021 08:08

Wow Chunkymenrock 😂😂

@Chunkymenrock love your username and also I enjoy how open you are. This has made me giggle (but hasn’t put me off as I think I’m ok with it, I was a shy child and probably quite wet! 🤣)

I have a 13 yo old Alice and she has never once had the song mentioned or sung to her. It's a beautiful timeless name ❤️

GoodnightGrandma · 03/09/2021 12:12

Classic and lovely.

MabelSable · 03/09/2021 12:13

It's okay but I prefer Alison. Alison would be great in a crisis whereas Alice would just stand there with her lip wibbling.

MsTSwift · 03/09/2021 12:15

Quite a wet name like Sophie.

Plumtree391 · 03/09/2021 12:23

I love it.

Theoldwoman · 03/09/2021 12:28

Love it.

In my top ten.

Disfordarkchocolate · 03/09/2021 12:32

It's very lovely.
