[name]Do[/name] you have potential nicknames for either name? Or do they come naturally? I just love [name]Etta[/name]-[name]Lou[/name], it’s darling!

And oh, DH and I are split right down the middle! Althoguth we both love both, he’s leaning towards [name]Alice[/name] and I’m leaning towards [name]Olive[/name].

So please help!!

Oh, [name]Alice[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]June[/name] is quite stunning! I think it goes quite well with [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Etta[/name].

Thank you! We always wanted a little boy named [name]Teddy[/name], and [name]Etta[/name]-[name]Lou[/name] came naturally :)!

The thing that puts me off about [name]Alice[/name] is the lack of nicknames (besides [name]Allie[/name]).
I’m leaning towards [name]Olive[/name] so we can call her [name]Liv[/name], [name]Livvie[/name], or [name]Ollie[/name]. Something like that :).

REALLY tough choice! In the end I went for [name]Alice[/name], just because I feel it goes great with [name]Teddy[/name] and [name]Etta[/name], but [name]Olive[/name] didn’t seem to go as well with [name]Theodore[/name] as it does with [name]Etta[/name] to me. They’re both great choices, regardless

They are both brilliant and wonderful, but I went with [name]Alice[/name] because I fear [name]Olive[/name] is more trendy and wouldn’t go well with [name]Hart[/name].

They are both beautiful, but I think [name]Alice[/name] sounds best with [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Etta[/name]. I’m also partial to [name]Alice[/name]. It’s my five-year-old daughter’s name.

LAINY · January 28, 2012, 5:18pm

[name]Alice[/name] could go by Lissy!

ashthedreamer · January 28, 2012, 5:19pm

I adore both, but I voted for [name]Olive[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. I think it’s just stunning with your other children!

Good luck!

[name]Olive[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Rose[/name] would be my pick. Such a great name! And it seems to fit right in with her siblings’ names.
I also really like [name]Olive[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name] [name]June[/name].

[name]Both[/name] are lovely but you get better nn with [name]Olive[/name], don’t like [name]Allie[/name] at all.

genevie · January 29, 2012, 1:26am

[name]Just[/name] want to say, on the nickname front - [name]Allie[/name]'s not the only nickname for [name]Alice[/name]. [name]Lissie[/name] / [name]Lissa[/name] (or eve [name]Lissa[/name]-[name]June[/name] / [name]Lissie[/name]-[name]June[/name]) is also a possibility, and very cute imo.

[name]Olive[/name]! It just has a little more spunk than [name]Alice[/name].

Good luck!!

mamaharte · January 29, 2012, 7:48am

Thank you everyone!!
DH is sooo happy that [name]Alice[/name] is the clear victor in this pole. I love both, but I’m still stuck on [name]Olive[/name].

We’ll be taking these to the hospital with us, then meet her and see which name really fits our little girl :).
