Baby on the way -- which of these three names do you like best?

Which of these three names do you like best?

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]

No variations on these names are options (people often say “I prefer [name_f]Alison[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]/[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]” in response to my short list).

Thank you for your help!

I definitely like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] the best! It’s a very lovely name :slight_smile:

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is my favorite but all three are great!

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is the best.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is my favorite, with [name_f]Louise[/name_f] after that.

Definitely [name_f]Alice[/name_f]! Followed by [name_f]Louise[/name_f]

They are all very sweet, classic names. Short but sweet :slightly_smiling_face:

I’d veer toward [name_f]Alice[/name_f]

As a child of the 90s, I loathe the overuse of [name_f]Louise[/name_f] as both first and middle names. Literally almost every girl I know who is my age has the middle of [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (myself included). I don’t mind the name itself, it’s very elegant and strong, I just see it everywhere I go!

[name_f]Helen[/name_f] is a lovely name and I can imagine it suits a young lady or an old woman, i just don’t think it suits a baby. It’s a name you have to grow in to.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is becoming quite popular at the moment but it doesn’t take away from its simple sweetness. It’s a name for all ages and is quite spunky. I always imagine [name_f]Alice[/name_f]'s as being happy, adventurous little girls with a great imagination.

I prefer [name_f]Alice[/name_f] mainly due to the literature connections.

My favourite is also [name_f]Alice[/name_f].

Another vote for [name_f]Alice[/name_f]!

[name_f]Helen[/name_f] is my favourite. Some might call it dated, but to me it feels elegant, primordial.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] also has these qualities but is obviously much more current. I don’t like the sound as much but that’s personal.

They’re all good names, objectively. I would say go with the one that ‘‘sounds’’ like your daughter. Good luck with choosing!

All are lovely, but [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is the clear stand out here!

I like [name_f]Louise[/name_f] the best.

[name_f]Louise[/name_f]! Prefer [name_f]Louisa[/name_f].
