Grace and Alice are my final two names for consideration - please let me know which you like best. Thank you :-)

Alice was on my list so I'd have to go for that one!

MiddleAgedDread · 27/11/2024 13:34

Alice is my favourite name! Less common than Grace too.

Littlemiracles232504 · 27/11/2024 13:35

Alicia was on my list so I'd deffo go for Alice 💜

Pinkyhere · 27/11/2024 13:53

Another vote for Alice although like them both I feel like Grace is restrictive if the child is not esp graceful

BearBuggy · 27/11/2024 13:54

Like both but feel Alice more

loropianalover · 27/11/2024 13:55

I’d opt for Grace, but love Alice also.

RubyBirdy · 27/11/2024 13:56

Alice, there are SO MANY little girls called Grace at the moment.

ClarityClankrantt · 27/11/2024 13:56

Alice.

BarbaraHoward · 27/11/2024 13:56

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I would go with Alice. Grace may turn out to be anything but graceful.

Scottishgirl85 · 27/11/2024 13:57

Grace is more of a filler middle name imo. And has the potential to really not suit the person!

Alice is lovely, but it is quite common in case that bothers you. I know 5 within my 2 daughters' friendship circles (primary school). It's lovely though and is one of my daughter's middle names after her most amazing great-grandmother.

Alice

LilacLilyBird · 27/11/2024 14:01

I love them both

StormingNorman · 27/11/2024 14:02

Alice. Grace was sooo overused a few years ago.

FayCarew · 27/11/2024 14:59

Grace is more popular than Alice and is a common middle name.
Babies called Grace in England & Wales since 1996
Babies called Alice in England & Wales since 1996

I much prefer Alice

BatsInSpring · 27/11/2024 15:06

I really like both but for me it would be Grace.
I hear the comments about being/not being graceful but I prefer to think of it in terms of honour and good will, and I think it's a beautiful name.
I have two primary age children and don't know any named Grace in all their clubs etc.
It's popularity may be fairly regional?

DramaAlpaca · 27/11/2024 15:08

I'd choose Alice, it's beautiful.

I'm not keen on Grace, it's the hard 'gr' sound I think.

Moreteaandchocolate · 27/11/2024 16:03

Another vote for Alice!

Berlinlover · 27/11/2024 16:04

I prefer Grace.

tulipsunday · 27/11/2024 16:09

Vote for Alice

LadyGabriella · 27/11/2024 16:11

Grace. It’s beautiful

Firsttimebabymummy · 27/11/2024 16:21

Both are lovely so you can't go wrong!

I'd probably choose Grace but I do equally love Alice.

stopringingme · 27/11/2024 16:51

Alice

Mumofgirls2017 · 27/11/2024 17:05

Alice 100%

LadyGabriella · 27/11/2024 17:05

Alice looks a bit like a lice (head).

LadyGabriella · 27/11/2024 17:06

Grace is a popular middle name, but less so a first name. So I don’t think you’d need to worry about too popular.
