Alice

[LolaBumble]

Yay or nay?

I love it! It’s one of my favourite girls names.

I like it but don't like the Alys spelling.

Yay. My favourite girl's name.

Alys!

It still is a wonderful name, you can never have too many IMO.

We have an Alice. She's the only Alice in her school at the minute (so just because it's popular doesn't mean you'll hear it all the time).

I love her name! and she suits it. Girly but strong.

I like Alice.

Alice is a lovely classic name. Like the spelling Alys too

I think the Alys spelling is fine if you're Welsh-speaking. A bit like I like Lili, Casi, Nansi or Lia but don't see it working as a 'different' spelling.

I had a great aunt Alis.

It’s never done me any harm 😉
I like that it’s known, but not very heavily used.

Agreed. My children attend a Welsh school and all the names are gorgeous. My husband, however, cannot pronounce half of them!

I wouldn't say all the names are gorgeous, and they don't benefit from being anglicised. That's a separate thread though.

Lovely. 2 at my primary school- both nice girls.

I love it, wanted to call my dd Alice…..DH couldn’t get past “who the f;:@& is Alice?”… a lyric from a song. Just to warn you! The song is called “living next to Alice”

Classic, my GMs name and my first born

Lovely. Suits any age- I can as easily picture a baby Alice as a 30 year old or 80 year old one.

Yes and it destroyed the original. Have to say that’s long gone now( 90s) and I’d forgotten about it until you mentioned it.

I’m an Alice and I get this at least weekly! 😩

Thank you guys!! This has all really confirmed our choice 🥰

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you had a list of the Welsh names from my children's school 🤷‍♀️ I think all the Welsh names at my children's school are gorgeous. Not every Welsh name to exist...

I'm one of the teachers.
I was referring to the names I mentioned with the not all of them are gorgeous. I like one or two of them, the others less so.
Many kids have names that when I hear them the first time, I think 'hmm' but I like it once I'm used to it.

It’s ok but I feel it’s a bit bland. In my mind , it’s similar to Emily, Lucy, Sophie type names…nothing wrong with them, just blah.

@Redhairandhottubs , but that's why some of us like it.

Lovely! I’ve got a Mabli ☺️

Never heard of it.
Alice is nice. A bit meh. If I’m honest. But fine.
