Alice

I like simple, classic names and these three are perfect examples of that. I love them all. If I'd had a daughter, she'd have been Emma.

Alice.

thatneverhappened · 12/01/2024 23:28

All beautiful but Alice is my fave

Jeelypieces20storeys · 12/01/2024 23:31

All lovely but Louisa is my favourite. Beautiful name and so refreshing in a sea of Emily/Evie/Harper's.

LikeagoddamnVampire · 12/01/2024 23:39

Louisa is my favourite, it's a strong name to me, a Louisa won't take any shit Grin it's a nice change from so many popular names.

Emma is fine but starting to feel a bit dated now, makes me think of 90s girls, so many Emma's!!

Alice is ok, pretty timeless and classic. But not as interesting as Louisa.

Louisa. Alice and Emma extremely wet and boring. Also far more commonly heard.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 12/01/2024 23:55

All three are lovely
Louisa

Crikeyalmighty · 12/01/2024 23:56

All lovely!

Viviennemary · 12/01/2024 23:58

I like Louisa best. Then Alice. Not mad keen on Emma but it's an ok name.

BonheursTrousers · 13/01/2024 00:00

I have a friend called Louisa, I’ve never called her Louise or lou/lulu etc. it’s a pretty name however I do prefer Alice out of the three. Emma my least favourite as it is very plain…

user1492757084 · 13/01/2024 03:43

All three names are timeless, classic and lovely for a grown woman.
My fave is Louisa.
In order of preference ..
Eloise, Louise, Louisa, Alison, Alice, Ella, Emma .. all beautiful.

Louisa. This was my top girl name but DH wasn't keen. I still love it! If I had a third girl (not happening) I'd twist his arm.

user1477391263 · 13/01/2024 04:39

Louisa. I know a young Louisa and nobody calls her Louise. Alice is nice but very popular. Emma is the world’s dullest name.

GoldenArrow · 13/01/2024 08:24

Louisa is beautiful to me x

RichPetunia · 13/01/2024 08:26

Louisa

HippoStraw · 13/01/2024 08:33

I like Alice best by far. Not sure why people are saying it’s too popular. It’s not even top 50. Followed by Louisa, then Emma a way behind, although I still like it.

ShakesP123 · 13/01/2024 08:38

Alice.

Emma was so popular in the 70s/80s/90s it feels dated to me. Louisa the same due to Louise. Also hate Lou and Loulou which she will inevitably get.

FunkyBu · 13/01/2024 08:54

I like Louisa, but prefer the spelling Luisa.

Notellinganyone · 13/01/2024 09:02

Louisa. Lovely name but quite uncommon at the moment.

aintnospringchicken · 13/01/2024 09:14

Emma is my favourite,but then I'm very biased as my toddler GD is called Emma.All the other Emmas I know are in their 30s.

ConstitutionHill · 13/01/2024 09:17

Emma!

itsalwaysthesame · 13/01/2024 11:18

Louisa
No one calls her Lou or if they do she'll correct them immediately 🤣

Jessforless · 13/01/2024 11:24

My sister is Louisa and she absolutely hates it. Despises being called Lou which everyone at work does to her.

dressedforcomfort · 13/01/2024 11:30

Alice - such a lovely name
