The choices are:

Eve
Lucy
Alice
Iris

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

tummytickler - I really do deeply love the name 'Iris' and looking at your profile your Iris is a true smasher!!!

Jeepers - I think if you don't 'feel' Eve and Mr Jeepers doesn't 'feel' Lucy Alice you need to find a different name you both love! There are so many dreamy girls names out there - there is certainly one for your little one that you both will adore calling when it is dinnertime!

All pretty names but
Iris most uncommon ( i also like Violet)
Lucy common amongst my peers
Eve uber common in DD peers
Alice - makes me think of delicate child, sometimes too delicate.

but I like long odd names, so what do I know.

1. Eve
2. Iris
3. Alice
4. Lucy

1 - Eve - fab, classic (but really dislike Evie!!) Love Eva to as suggested to.
2 - Iris - lovely

Alice and Lucy are so dull in my opinion, there are so many more wonderful names out there I have never understood the appeal of these. An irrational dislike of mine - sorry

The family have agreed that we like Eve and Alice, but we don't like Iris and Dh really dislikes 'juicy Lucy'.

Sorry!

Iris is my favourite but its brave to use it. My family do not like it but so what

Eve is lovely but quite common. I can not imagine anyone not like it.

Alice is ok. I just find it a bit dull (sorry). DH loves the name Alice and so do my family (rest of)

I dont really like the name Lucy. I think it makes me think of a lollipop.

Jeepers- I really love all of your names!
Lucy and Alice are timeless, classic and pretty. ( I am a Lucy with a sister Alice).
I also love Iris and Eve. The only thing that would slightly concern me with Iris is that a couple of celebs have used it making it potentially a bit too 'trendy'. Eve is a Biblical classic and is gorgeous but is v popular at the moment (or at least similar names such as Evie and Eva are).
Do you need any other suggestions at all?

Anna is quite similar to them (the suggested names) isn't it and I love the shortening of Annie.

Lucy-lovely-top favourite.
Alice-second.
I like Eve but it is very popular at the moment.
Iris is horrible.

My parents couldn't decide on my name - mum liked Victoria, dad liked Louise. I ended up being called Victoria Louise. My dad has always called me Louise and I love that - it's like a special thing between the two of us.

It's never caused too much confusion except when he'd call me it in front of friends who had no idea of the situation - but then a short explanation would sort things out.

So, my suggestion would be to call your daughter Alice Eve and have your OH call her Eve! After all, it's a shame when middle names never really get used, and it'll make her feel special

Iris - unusual and very pretty (think flowers and rainbows)

Eve - Have always liked this one. Like Evie too.

Lucy - Lovely name. Always had a soft spot for it but know hundreds.

Alice - Nice, but not overly keen. Seem to be a lot of these around too.

I love all of those names!

1. Alice (wish I could have this for a girl's name, but already have a cousin called it)

1. Eve - beautiful, on shortlist.

1. Lucy - simple, pretty, lovely.

1. Iris - more unusual, very pretty name also.

I don't envy you, very hard to choose between them all!

Didin't like Iris until my sister used it, now I think it's lovely!

I like all your names but if it were me I'd go for Lucy. Good luck

Eve - nice but very common atm
Lucy - Not really a very grown up name
Alice - Bit blah
Iris - Lovely, will suit child and adult alike

Lucy... my favourite girl's name!
Alice... my lovely niece's name.
Eve... serene.
Iris...agree with Sidge... there are prettier flower names but it's not dreadful.

1 Lucy, have a lovely friend called Lucy, fab name

2 Alice, has been popular a few years ago but don't know any babies, young girls called this.

3 Eve, will be in a class full of Eves, Evas, Evies, Avas and maybe a couple of Evangelines or Evelyns

4 Iris, just really don't like this name. Always think of unkind, slightly smelly old ladies.

Iris is gorgeous
Lucy is a pretty classic
Alice is a bit prim
Eve is overused

HOw are the votes stacking up?
Any firm decisions yet?

Ds would have been some form of Eve so my favourite.

Someone I worked with long time ago called Iris (the virus) instantly comes to mind, so no to that.

My best friend at school was a Lucy and she went through teenage hell as Juicy Lucy or Luce (loose)

In order:

Lucy
Alice
Eve
Iris

Lucy is my favourite. Alice and Eve are too common, and Iris is the child prostitute from Taxi Driver.

eve is
lovely first choice but not evie
alice classic
lucy like about the same as alice
iris dont like not a nice sounding name. imo

Lucy
Alice
Eve
Iris

in that order.
