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

@MabelSable

It's okay but I prefer Alison. Alison would be great in a crisis whereas Alice would just stand there with her lip wibbling.
This made me laugh because it perfectly reflects the Alices and Alisons I know - but despite it I prefer Alice!

I love it, it was my nan's name and I always wanted to name a daughter that to honour her, but only had boys!!!

Fluffykins1986 · 03/09/2021 12:40

This “wet name” stuff is really ticking me. Guess I don’t see being wet as the worst personality trait to have 🤣🤣🤣

My Alice is 32 and she was named after my great Aunt born in 1905.

It does get shortened to Ally and Al (not by me) but she doesn't mind.

Oh and my Alice is as hard as nails and would be first to pile into a fight Grin

MsTSwift · 03/09/2021 12:55

The ones I know are super wet and drippy which has skewed my view

Lol

Maybe the next generation of Alices are a bit steelier! Grin

Fluffykins1986 · 03/09/2021 13:05

Haha I don’t know many at all so can’t comment on the wet vs. hard as nails debate!!

I do know though that we’re more of a quiet, reflective, indoorsy family and are not at all brash or bossy or overly practical either!! So maybe it will suit her, I can’t see her being a loud ringleader if she’s anything like the rest of us 😉

Brace yourself, because now that you've typed that out you've more or less guaranteed that your Alice will an outdoorsy, extrovert whirlwind! Smile

idontlikealdi · 03/09/2021 13:34

Oh my Alice is quick witted as fuck, sarcastic and bloody great fun. Very horsey.

I love Alice I had 3 boys so didn't get to use it

@Chunkymenrock

To me, it's the ultimate wet name. Just reminds me of a painfully shy 8 year old child.
I’ve been feistly challenging that image for more than 50 years.

I’m going to go against the grain and say I don’t like it at all, but I am basing on a rather nasty Alice that I used to know.

Well, that and the song.

Curiouser and curiouser ... Grin

It's nice.

(I hear "that song" first but nobody younger than me would!)

There was the animal friends kids song with Alice the Alligator a tape when mine were young

Mwnci123 · 03/09/2021 19:30

Classic, lovely.

My Cubs think it is hilarious when we sing “Alice the Camel”, and change “Alice” to my Cub leader name.

SugarPlum10 · 04/09/2021 13:49

What about the Alice in Resident Evil? I would definitely not call her shy or drippy!!

woodhill · 04/09/2021 20:18

@BikeRunSki

😁

Go Alice go bm bm bm?

BikeRunSki · 04/09/2021 22:49

@woodhill

Alice the Camel had no humps
SO ALICE WAS A HORSE!
