I am 38 weeks pregnant and we still haven't decided upon a name. I think we are down to either Alice or Sadie. Siblings are Ellie and Laura. What are your thoughts? New suggestions welcome.

Thanks

I love both! They have quite different vibes though.

With your other daughters’ names I’d go for Sadie.

Thanks

Alice is just plain and boring,

Thanks

Alice.

Sadie sound like sadist, and puts me in mind of a blowsy East End prostitute from period drama.

Thanks

Sadie, definitely. Love it

One of them is my name, one I have an irrational dislike of, so I won’t say anything on either name, but suggested Stella as a possibility.

I prefer Sadie.

Alice is okay but a bit drippy.

Thanks

I really like Sadie, it's one of those names that classic and modern all at once.

Thanks

I’m not keen on Sadie but I love Alice!

I wouldn’t choose two names ending in ‘ie’ and one not - Laura might feel like the odd one out.

Thanks

Alice doesn't appeal to me.

Sadie works well with your other dds names.

Alternatives might be

Zoe
Mamie
Jacqueline
Joan (ie) / Joni
Saskia
Jamie
Zadie
Mitzi
Lorelei
Fern
Poppy
Daisy
Georgia
Jane
Ruth
Romilly
Piper
