Ivy, Alice, Olive or Dilys?

[Chasney]

Please give me your thoughts on these names:

Ivy
Alice
Olive
Dilys

thanks!

Really like Ivy and Alice.
Olive is OK but prefer Olivia though I feel there are a lot of them.
Not familiar with Dilys, is it Welsh? Since I don't know how it's pronounced I couldn't say.

We have chosen Alice for ours if we have a girl, so love it.

Olive was near the top of our list too. Our cat is actually called Olive but we like the name so much we were tempted to also call the baby the same. We won't - it's too weird but still a great name (smile)

Dilys was the name of my primary school headmistress

Of those names I think I liek Alice best.

They're all fine apart from Dilys which is ludicrous.

Love the name Alice.

Dilys was a huge bully in school so dislike that name by association.

not keen on Dilys but the others are pretty

I like all of the names.

I haven't heard the name Dilys for ages, it's nice to see an oldie but goodie

Alice

Ivy- not sure. Like the sound of it but a bit old fashioned, maybe. And the plant can be a rather ugly and straggly.

Alice- Like it. Classic, pretty name that works for any age group. Was perhaps becoming over- popular about 5 - 10 years ago but less so now. My favourite from your list.

Olive- quite cool. Much prefer it to Olivia.

Dilys- I know a very kind woman with this name but I've never thought her name was her best feature.

i think dilys sounds quite nice & is a bit different the others are quite popular. all nice though, alice probably my favourite

Ivy- Like
Alice- Very nice
Olive- On The Buses. Prefer Livy
Dilys- Like, but also like Dorcas and Gertrude, so what do I know

I like Ivy.

Alice the nicest

Alice or Dilys.

Ivy = great-aunt name only. Don't like the plant either
Olive - awful, always think of Olive Oil or Olive from On the Buses. Olivia however is lovely.
Dilys - not keen - a bit insipid.

Alice - fab name. Will suit a gorgeous blonde beauty, a brunette or a redhead.

And not too popular, but not so unusual as to be outlandish.

Vote Alice!

Alice is gorgeous!

Ivy or Alice.

I like Alice, Dilys, Ivy, Olive in that order. Olive and Ivy aren't very nice on my ears I'm afraid and remind me of olive from On the Buses (1970 comedy) and Ivy Tildsly from Corrie (who went all funny with the lips).

Alice lovely (DD is Alice ). Also the name of her great-granny

Ivy also nice (DD had one in her class before we moved. My nana was called Ivy

Dilys was my great-aunt (so same generation). She was Welsh. Name just makes me think of her.

Olive makes me think of Olive Oil on Popeye.

Dilys is my favourite - a long time favourite of mine (also Hawys).
Alice is lovely popular, but a classic.
Ivy is nice
Olive is fabby, but too close to Olivia for me.

Ivy or Olive for me.

I wonder which one I like - hmm Ivy is a grate name and katy is aswell

Ivy Katy is good together or if your surname begins with K - go or Ivy jane

i love, love, love, ivy, ours would have been ivy this time around, but its a boy, so not sure it would suit!!!

Ivy - Sweet name if you can ignore the old woman-ness and poison associations

Alice - Quite prim and head girlish.

Olive - prefer Olave, like Lady Baden Powell

Dilys - Norman Price's scatty mum in Fireman Sam. Can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet!

OLIVE
OLIVE
OLIVE

(football chanting style!)

I love that name much nicer than Olivia (because it's very common).

Ivy reminds me of that awful woman from Coronation Street, and poison, Alice is a classically lovely name and Dilys is very sweet.
