would appreciate your opinions, I’m trying to decide on a name. I like classic names but struggling to choose between these two, I love Alice it’s the ultimate old timey chic vibe and that’s never been too popular at a specific time so I think it’s beautiful. My husband likes Emily which I don’t mind but it’s not my favourite because its popularity spike in the 90s/00s puts me off slightly and I think it makes it sound dated now. I imagine majority Emily’s are ages 18-30 these days, it’s technically a lovely old name but certainly not in the same classic and timeless way as Alice imo. Emily seems slightly time stamped to me now.
I may be overthinking this but I don’t want to give my child a name that was too popular at a certain time because I have a terribly dated 80s name and I’ve always disliked it😬
