I really love both Alice and Grace and struggling to choose between the two. Please help me decide! Thanks everyone x

Alice

Grace, A Lice is what my friend was called all through senior

RedRobyn2021 · 26/12/2021 20:48

This is a hard one

Grace is a very beautiful name, the only thing that would dissuade me is that it's so popular

Bluntness100 · 26/12/2021 20:48

Grace. Alice reminds me of Alice Evans,and well, enough said.

@SlowBoiledFrog

Grace, A Lice is what my friend was called all through senior
That is truly moronic

Couldn't they think of something better? Dear me

MajorCarolDanvers · 26/12/2021 20:53

Both lovely

Slight preference for grace but you won't go wrong with either.

deadlanguage · 26/12/2021 20:53

Alice Grace!

travellingturtle · 26/12/2021 20:54

Grace always reminds me of the religious undertones - and I went to school with a Grace who was anything but graceful. Lovely, hilarious, wonderful, but she always found her name hard to reconcile with who she was.

Alice feels less 'loaded' to me.

NotDonna · 26/12/2021 20:54

Grace

Eliphanbee · 26/12/2021 20:55

Alice

Grace feels a bit more of a standard for the past 20 years following a revival, so less classic.

Alice feels a little bit spare/minimalist, & fresher as not had quite the revival Grace had.

I love Alice.

Evanna13 · 26/12/2021 21:09

I prefer Grace.

DukkaTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 26/12/2021 22:05

Probably Alice as Grace is massively over used, feels like it’s everywhere.

MamaWeasel · 26/12/2021 22:09

I like Grace better, Alice makes me think of the verger from The Vicar of Dibley

Luredbyapomegranate · 26/12/2021 22:26

Both nice, and popular.

I’d base it on what sounds best w your surname.

Nancydrawn · 27/12/2021 00:51

Alice, no question.

FoggySpecs · 27/12/2021 01:29

Alice

AnnaMarieQ · 27/12/2021 01:33

Grace for me

DramaAlpaca · 27/12/2021 01:37

I much prefer Alice, I really love this name.

I'm not fond of the harsh 'Gr' sound in Grace, though of course the meaning is beautiful.
