Alice.
Grace is very common and I'm not keen on Amelia.
Alice is a classic and not faddy

CharlieBoo · 30/08/2023 15:38

Alice is gorgeous! Love it! Timeless, elegant, pretty..

Grace is also gorgeous and every Grace I know is lovely!

Amelia is just too popular. There are LOADS here along with all the nicknames, mils, Millie etc.. It’s pretty enough but the other two are in a different league.

Alice
Grace
Amelia

We know a lot of Amelias so I wouldn't go for that really, and Grace is nice but confers a bit of expectation. Alice is my winner I'd say.

  1. Alice. Lovely classic name.
  2. Grace. Nice elegant name, and has really grown on me over the last few years.
  1. Amelia. Quite pretty, but I do prefer the similar names Amy, Emily, Emmeline and Emma.

Alice

Grace-fatigue here where I live. It feels like 75% baby girls have it for either their first or second name.

Hazelnut9 · 30/08/2023 17:53

Alice definitely.

Amelia is lovely too but there’s just so many of them

MrsDrSpencerReid · 31/08/2023 08:52

Alice!
Then Amelia, then Grace.

Alice Amelia has a nice ring to it 😊

Twoshoesnewshoes · 31/08/2023 08:54

Alice
then Grace

don’t like Amelia

OnlyHasEyesForLoki · 31/08/2023 09:00

Alice (which is my daughter’s middle name) ❤️

Dollydishcloths · 31/08/2023 09:08

Grace is lovely (I have a Grace - born in the 90’s)
I know it’s popular now, not so much back then.
wherever you go you’ll generally know of someone with the same name unless it extremely unusual.

lavagal · 31/08/2023 09:12

There are so many Amelia's

Grace would be my first choice followed by Alice. Both lovely names

TyrannasaurusJex · 31/08/2023 09:13

Absolutely Alice. Classic and clean, not as "trendy" as Amelia and no religious connotations like Grace

MrsRonaldWeasley · 31/08/2023 09:13

Alice

LynnBenfieldsnephew · 31/08/2023 09:20

Alice all day long! So pretty and timeless. It is also my DD’s middle name.

Grace and Amelia are really popular names in my area so they’ve just become a bit bland to me.

Mummyofmandb · 31/08/2023 10:42

Grace or Alice are both lovely names. Less keen on Amelia. Maybe think about how they sound with potential middle names and surname to decide x

Workawayxx · 31/08/2023 10:49

Alice 💕

sandstormboots · 31/08/2023 10:53

Alice

Mamabear48 · 31/08/2023 10:59

I prefer Amelia but I’ve always found it hard to spell for some reason. I do like Amalie as well which is similar

Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 31/08/2023 11:04

Grace

Lindamummyof3 · 31/08/2023 11:05

Beautiful names, my absolute favourite is Amelia, followed by Alice. x

Lifeinlists · 31/08/2023 11:08

Alice
Amelia
Grace
They're all nice names so you could use all three, but probably Alice for the first name.

OhCobblers · 31/08/2023 11:14

  1. Amelia
  2. Grace

I'm afraid Alice doesn't make my list at all. Never liked it Blush

wellingtonsandwaffles · 31/08/2023 11:21

Alice by miles - it’s classic and elegant

Grace and Amelia are nice options but there’s loads of them

PissOffJeffrey · 31/08/2023 17:31

Amelia for me.

When I hear a name it always gives me a mental image of the person. The mental image of Grace or Alice is quite pretentious & fussy with a very overbearing, try hard mother (I appreciate that is just my opinion which I'm offering as my reason for choosing Amelia).

jasminesunflower · 31/08/2023 17:32

Lovely names!

  1. Grace
  2. Alice
  3. Amelia

Alice or Grace.
