Sophia, Alice, Grace

[Foreverdancing]

These are our three front runners at the moment. Which do you prefer?

Sophia and Grace

Alice > Grace > Sophia, but if it was Sophie it would be Alice > Sophie > Grace.

This is my opinion too. The first time I heard of a baby Sophia I didn't really like it and it made me think of Sophia Gardens. It hasn't grown on me, and I prefer it as Soph-eye-a.

Lovely names that suit all ages. However, I would be careful about naming a child Grace if you are a family like mine : endomorphs with short, sturdy legs. She might grow up to be the exception though !
I feel the same about the name Willow.

Alice by a mile.

They are all lovely. I prefer Alice.

I like all the names. Sophia is a popular name, and you could find more than one in a class at school! Alice and Grace aren't as common names. Out of the three, I prefer Grace.

I love Alice and Sophia.

I strongly dislike Grace.

Sophia is my favourite, then Alice.

They are ok but admit as the mother of older teen girls I am bored of them I know sooooo many girls with those names they are run of the mill now sorry. Can you not think of others? Miranda / Susannah / Kate /Serena all really nice and underused.

Every Grace my dds knows has been dreadful and the direct opposite of graceful !

I would ignore the overused comments and pick what you like most. There are more popular names and people choose from a wider pool now.

Personally i’d pick Sophia, it’s a beautiful name. Second Alice and third Grace but really not a fan of Grace

Grace is elegant and beautiful

Grace (I love this name)
Alice
Sophia

It's just a wet name to me. Same as Emily, Amelia. Just wet and no substance.

Grace

I personally cannot stand the name Sophia.

Grace is a lot to live up to. You need to be an Audrey Hepburn type otherwise it’s quite cruel.

Yes sorry also concur they are wet unimaginative names.

All classic and timeless names. I love Sophia/Sophie.

Ignore the comments about overuse OP - people keep coming back to them for a reason.

@TheaBrandt , Don't you mean a Grace Kelly type?

@LaVitesse2022 , they are, but Sophia would have been 'posh' when I was a baby, Sophie new and fresh, Alice dated but Alison popular, Grace terribly dated.

People pick them because they are the current trend in baby names. 20 years ago, the list might have been Chloe, Olivia or Grace.

@HugoYorway my point is that these names have been around for decades, centuries even, sometimes a bit less or a bit more popular, but around. They're not trendy in the sense that they've suddenly became popular out of nowhere and in a few years' time will disappear and become cringy.

I agree, which is why Darcey got missed off my 20 yrs ago list,

Alice. " My" girls name but I had 3 sons

Alice, then Sophia then Grace.

Alice!

Grace my preference, but they all lovely.

I think personally you have to go for a unique name nowadays. No one wants to sound common. All children need unique names (We named ours after famous people in literature) Mine are named: Philip, Edward (Or Teddy as we love to call him), Sylvia-Louise and Virginia. You find Alice, Sophie and Grace's everywhere you go.
