Willow!

Grace is an ugly sound. Sophie/Sophia ten-a-penny.

Alice would be my second choice.

@PurpleChrayne

Grace isn't an ugly sound! It must be your voice/accent.

@Foreverdancing Grace

Willow is a tree, at best a goat, not a name for a person.

I don't know why, but I don't like Alice and there are soooo many Sophie/Sophia's

Sophia

DuchessOfSausage · 05/06/2023 21:00

Alice.
Sophia and Sofia are extremely popular.
Willow and Grace are a bit much to live up to.

ColdHandsHotHead · 05/06/2023 21:07

Alice

Alice

DramaAlpaca · 05/06/2023 21:19

Alice or Sophie.

I don't like the harsh 'gr' sound in Grace.

Definitely not Willow.

ShoesoftheWorld · 05/06/2023 21:21

Sophia, by miles. It's popular, but they all are.

RoseBucket · 05/06/2023 21:23

Alice or Sophia.

Willow sounds ok for a child but I don’t know why, odd for an adult.

I know two Graces and they are both anything but, so that might be swaying my train of thought

NotNowFGS · 05/06/2023 21:24

Willow is going to date horribly.

AnotherDayAnotherUsernameForMe · 05/06/2023 21:27

Alice

Hoolihan · 05/06/2023 21:29

In order:

  1. Alice (LOVE)
  2. Grace
  3. Willow
  4. Sophie/a
continentallentil · 05/06/2023 21:32

Grace - warm and elegant and not overused as a first name

Sophia and Alice are way overused

Willow is a bit wet.. and what if she isn’t willowy?! I wouldn’t want to be a solid Willow

AlbertaWildRose · 05/06/2023 21:35

I love Willow!

EconomyClassRockstar · 05/06/2023 21:37

How is Willow faddy? All the Willow's I know are young adults. It's hardly a new name.

Awrite · 05/06/2023 21:38

Willow
Grace
Sophia

In that order.

Not keen on Sophie. Don't like Alice

ElmTree22 · 05/06/2023 21:39

Willow

ShandaLear · 05/06/2023 21:39

Alice

(though if you wanted another with a similar feel, Anna is a beautiful, simple, classic, name)

Willow is the name of Will Smith’s daughter. It’s a nice name but quite studied and fey.

Sophie and Grace both perfectly nice.

78Summer · 05/06/2023 21:40

Love Grace and Sophia.

PickledMuffin · 05/06/2023 21:41

Alice!

Willow. DH wanted Alice but for me it reminds me of the song ‘Alice, who the f* is Alice’.

As someone who's first name is Alice, can confirm I have had this sung at me more times than I can count 😂

OopsieeDaisy · 05/06/2023 22:00

I personally can’t stand Willow and agree with others that it will probably date fast.

Love Sophie, pretty and classic, not as overused as Sophia. Alice is also nice.

Grace is a little boring and is also quite overused.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 05/06/2023 22:04

Alice. Because I know a baby Grace, Willow, Sophie and Sofia.

bakewellbride · 05/06/2023 22:05

Alice is lovely.

Grace is beautiful but I know a grace and she is the opposite of graceful, the name really doesn't suit her! I'd avoid names that you have to kind of 'fit' just in case it doesn't work.
