Ivy... or Alice?

[newmomma]

DS1 is called Harry.
DH chose it after his favourite grandfather.

So I get to have a little more sway this time round.

DD due in May - I suggested either Ivy or Alice and DH laughed - he likes both, but because the wife of his fave GP (his GM) was called IVY ALICE!

Completely freaked me out.

Anyway - I now can't decide if I still like either/both names and if its because we'll have two children names after DH's married GP's.

And not a name from my side of the family (which we said we wouldn't do from either side of the family, for arguments sake).

So - can you give me your opinions on both? Either?

I love the name Alice and was thinking about it for my DD. When I mentioned it, my brother said "oh like Slack Alice" followed by "Alice, Alice, who the bleep is Alice".
(Aaah) That then put me off, but I do still love it.

Don't really like Ivy but I love Alice.
