Please vote for your favourite name (and save our marriage)

[Jeepers]

The choices are:

Eve
Lucy
Alice
Iris

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

1st- Alice- pretty but not twee.

2nd- Lucy-same reasons-pretty but could still be a strong womans name.

3rd- Iris- like this but slightly unsure maybe a bit 'hard'.

4th-Eve- OK but very overused around here.

Alice - timeless and elegant.

Lucy - classic, sweet and pretty.

Eve - too popular right now but a nice name.

Iris - imo, it's ugly.

1. Eve is lovely.
2. Lucy is a pretty name.
3. Alice is a name I really like but I was bullied by someone called Alice so that's why it's not number 1!
4. Iris I'm not sure about. I think I like it. It might grow on me as I think about it. It's certainly not well used ATM so that's a plus point.

so have you made a decision yet?

exactly the same as Winky and with the same reasons! Winky, are you me?

i only like Lucy and Alice. Eve is pretty too, but a bit too popular. Iris - i just think of eyeballs.

Lucy is a sweet and innocent name, makes me think of the little girl in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
If i had a Lucy i'd call her Lulu sometimes too!

In order:

Lucy - great name. I love girl's names with 'L's in them.

Alice - nice enough. I wouldn't couple it with Anna though. Not keen on alliterative sibling names.

Eve - not with Anna as sibling. Agree with others here.

Iris - not keen. A bit harsh for my liking.

All nice. In order:

Lucy
Alice
Eve
Iris

My fave is Eve followed by Iris then closley by Alice and finally Lucy.

Iris would probably be my choice from your original 4.
Alice - in wonderland? but it's also a nice name.
Lucy - don't like Luce/Loose, Juicy Lucy and all the other things that can be made from it.
Eve - I have never liked this name, but the only Eve I was familiar with was the bible one, and I was a very literal child, and I didn't like her for bleating "the snake made me do it"

Love Alice, but there is a song called "Living next door to Alice" by Smokie. This was covered in the 90's (forget who by) with the added line "Alice, Alice, who the fck is Alice). In my part of the world, say Alice to a man aged 25 -45 and he will snort and chant back "who the fck is Alice"

I decided against Alice for my DD for this reason.

Alice -- suitable for any age, any occupation, nice nn possibilities, feminine name, graceful and non frilly at the same time.
Eve -- again, suitable for any age, any occupation, nice nn possibilities, feminine, graceful and non-frilly.
Iris -- reminds me a bit of people my granny's age, but then I do know a baby named Ivy. I think plant names are timeless, and seem to be the wave of the moment (see Lily, Daisy). Also feminine, slightly delicate; the flower is complex in structure, lovely colours.
Lucy -- reminds me of I Love Lucy (old U.S. tv show. Lucy was a ditz and I can't shake the association with Loopy). It's a bit childish. Prefer Lucia?

Nightbynight-pml at your interpretation of Eve.
Do you feel the same about the name Adam though?

Eve - so elegant, and cute as Evie too
Alice - again, very pretty

Not Lucy (too dull) or Iris (nice but too old-lady-ish)

I love Iris, and it would have been on my list for a DD.

lucy's the prettiest name.
then Eve, but i think that might be getting too popular.
alice is beautiful name that would suit into adulthood, too, i think.

sorry, my vote goes with Alice, then.

Iris is lovely. Not too popular yet classic. I love it. Anna and Iris sound perfect together.

Alice is also gorgeous and timeless.

The other too (Lucy and Eve) are just a little dull.

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

1. Eve - very popular but classic, feminine and simple.
2. Alice - see above
3. Iris - OK but very 'in vogue' with the chattering classes. the new Ella. There'll be loads of 'em about soon.

4) Lucy - yuck. Twee and girly. Not a grown up name. Lucille?

susan - yes, Ive never liked the name Adam either lol

I don't like Iris

Ev(i)e is lovely, but Lucy then Alice are my favourites

dd1 is Lucy Alice though so perhaps I'm biased

Alice for me please - makes me think of Wonderland

Eve - I find a bit meh, dunno why? Very popular everywhere!

1. Alice. Possibly my favourite girl's name. The name my dh vetoed for our dd. Grr.

1. Iris, as I like (virtually) all flower names. This one is a bit 'daughter of rock star' but so what.

1. Eve. Very nice name.

4 (by a large margin) Lucy. Can't explain why, but this always conjures up the image of a soppy, weedy child.

Alice. Because it's DD's name
