Do you prefer Alice as a first name or middle name? I love the name but also have a few others on my list. I like classics like Charlotte, Grace and Sophie but can't seem to settle on one. Would love any thoughts or other suggestions thank you x

I can’t stop seeing it as ‘ A Lice’ as in nits I’m afraid

CatWithARabbit · 13/04/2022 16:23

Alice is beautiful !

insancerre · 13/04/2022 16:24

First name
It’s my favourite girls name

BigSandyBalls2015 · 13/04/2022 16:25

I instantly think of a soppy character like Vicar of Dibley, but I'm sure there are lovely Alice's around.

Teaandcrumpets95 · 13/04/2022 16:25

Love Alice!

First or middle depends what you're pairing it with tbh; from the examples given I'd go:

Charlotte Alice
Alice Grace
Sophie Alice

Can't go wrong with the classics tbh all lovely 😊

BigSandyBalls2015 · 13/04/2022 16:25

And also "Alice, Alice ... who the fuck is Alice" .... but that's because I'm quite old Grin

Mumofgirls2017 · 13/04/2022 16:37

I love it as either. Much prefer to your others.

TempsPerdu · 13/04/2022 16:45

I like it and think it’s by far the nicest of the names you’ve listed. However I would (and indeed did! Smile) use it as a middle name, as my taste is for more unusual first names.

yorkshireteaspoonie · 13/04/2022 16:55

Both Sophie and Alice are lovely first names

YouHaveNoAuthorityHereJackie · 13/04/2022 16:56

You’ve listed 3 of my girls names! So we clearly have similar tastes. Fwiw, my Alice has never had the ‘who the fuck is Alice’ thing.

AiryFairy1 · 13/04/2022 16:57

@BigSandyBalls2015 Grin I was the same!!

But I love the name and know a couple of them who are lovely 😊

TokenGinger · 13/04/2022 18:36

I love Alice. It's a lovely name.

mrsfeatherbottom · 13/04/2022 20:33

I love it. It's my mum's name, my DD's middle name and my BF's DD's name!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 13/04/2022 20:35

I'd use it as a first name. If I'd had three girls the third one would have been called Alice.

It makes me think of Alice in Wonderland, which is a very good association.

RosesAndHellebores · 13/04/2022 20:38

I have 9nly heard of "who the fuck is Alice on MNet I had the best ever grandma and have the best ever dd.

It is both pretty and a classic

Hugasauras · 13/04/2022 20:45

DD2 is going to be Alice. I think it's a lovely name (obviously or I wouldn't have picked it Grin)

DramaAlpaca · 13/04/2022 21:38

It's a beautiful name.

Ana0700 · 13/04/2022 23:51

I absolutely love love Alice, it's a big no for my husband because one of his friend is called Alice but otherwise it would be on top of my list.
Alice

They are all very nice but very popular - Sophie and Grace a bit less so right now.

Caroline, Frances, Jane. Susannah or Serena would be less overused alternatives
