All votes gratefully received. Thinking behind your choice also appreciated.

oddly ilove we already have an Anna!

Evelyn?

love Lucy my favourite all time girl's name.
really pretty and timeless

Hmmm, it's tricky when you can't agree. I'm still gutted that I didn't give my dd3 a name that I loved (was dh's choice) - I mean I love it now, because it's her, but I still prefer her middle name.

I still adore dd1 and dd2's names and I chose theirs ...

Which name do you love Jeepers?

I love both Alice and Lucy

Alice Lucy
Lucy Alice

Lovely!

Eve too popular and all connations of.

Lucy and Alice are classic and timeless. In fact I know twins with these names.

Sorry forgot Iris - it seems a bit slebville

Isn't Anna & Eve a bit too close to Adam and Eve??????

Would you Anna and Eve it

And for me it's a big no to juicy Lucy!

Well, fwiw, I agree with you Jeepers

Have you tried crying?????

Iris - just v pretty
Eve - I like Evie
Alice - pretty but sounds quite old fashioned (good if you like that though)
Lucy - know too many lucy's

Eve or Iris could both be first.

My DH really like Lauren and I really liked Grace for our DD but we couldn't stand the others choice (I really didn't want a Lauren, he was the same with Grace). We decided you couldn't really call a child something that one of you didn't like because it would always be there.

Hope that makes sense.

What abou Evie?

It is a bit quirkier and more girlyfied ()than Eve (that to my ear has a rather sober serious feel compared to your other more floaty sounding name suggestions) and ontop of it - it has the 'eee' ending of Lucy...

@ Fimbo

teafortwo - i love your reasoning for Iris - makes me chuffed for my dd to be named Iris (named after Murdoch/my grandmother), she is very bright!

Eve - gorgeous love it.
Lucy - like it
Alice - salright!
Iris - really harsh

Eve - Not keen at all. Lots of Evies around.
Love Evangeline but not Eve.
Lucy - bit dull. Pretty but a few about.
Alice - Love Alice and only know my SIL who is called Alice. Al for short.
Iris - Am loving Iris and dont know any.

Dont think I would be brave enough to go for Iris (bit old ladyish) so my vote goes to

ALICE

Alice Eve
Alice Lucy
Alice Iris???

Actually Alice Lucy Eve is pretty.

Somebody said Eve is not classic. Huh?! You know Eve from the bible?!

Plan A: Dh is won over by persistent and relentless championing of my favourite names (not looking promising so far but still have time!)

Plan B: calm and reasoned debate resulting in satisfactory compromise for us both. See below in thread for previous attempts at that

Plan C: tears, guilt, bribery to be used at aappropriate time, possibly post delivery

And, hit him with the Anna & Eve theory

Post delivery sounds good

The Anna and Eve thing is good - would you anna and eve it. Great idea.

LUcy for me

Alice - Love it!
Iris - Like it and its quite unusual!
Eve - Everyone had Eve, Eva, Evie! Too common!
Lucy - No!

I like Alice, Lucy and Eve, in that order I always think that they are young sounding names.
I'm not so keen on Iris, can't really give a reason just don't like it as much.

1.Lucy...lovely name, my favourite
2.Eve...OK, prefer Eva.
3.Alice...not keen.
4.Iris...not keen, old ladies and eyes.
