[Opinions] Alice
WDYT? I've been thinking about this name quite a lot lately. Its not usually the kind of name that really gets my attention but I'm loving it right now. I'd prefer it as a mn but I'm finding it hard to come up with interesting, slightly unusual fns that flow well with Alice. Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA =)

Alice is gorgeous, simple, old-fashioned, and not trendy. I personally love it and would even consider using it (along with 100 other names, lol).

I'm liking all of those combos. The first four have a lovely French feel to them which I adore. I don't know why I didn't think of them myself considering they're right there on my PNL. =/ I think Vivienne is my favourite and I also love Genevieve, Imogen and Veronique from your suggestions. Thanks for your help! =)

I love Alice also.My combo with Alice as the mn is Clementine Alice.
I also have a fondness for Mary Alice as a double FN, despite most BtN-er's aversion to Mary Anything as a double FN.

I love the name Mary but I wouldn't use Mary Alice, personally, because I prefer a more unusual fn for a well known mn. Its pretty, though. Clementine Alice is sweet and I like it very much. Thanks =)

I like Alice. If I were to make combos I would do something like thise:Esme Alice
Josephine Alice
Eleanor Alice
Ophelia Alice
Imogen Alice
Margaux Alice
Tamsin Alice
Zilpah AliceIt is really difficult to make Alice flow as a middle name, especially when I don't have a last name to work with as last names can completely put off the otherwise great flow of a first and middle name combo.

I don't mind sharing last names. My SOs last name is Chambers and mine is Smith. If we were to have kids, their ln would just be Chambers. From that list, I adore Esme and Margaux. I love the french feel to those names with Alice. I also like Eleanor and Ophelia. Thanks for your help =)

I LOVE Alice.It's probably one of my top names, but my SO wants nothing to do with it. Hmm, I'm not sure if I can come up with first names for it, though. I much prefer it as a first name. THe only two that came to mind were Francesca Alice and Elinor Alice. :-(

awww! I mourn for you! We must have the same taste because I LOVE Elinor too! What does your SO suggest? I love your ticker.

Frances and Francis have been used on memebers of my family for years and I think that using Francesca would be a great way to honour my relatives. It makes an interesting alternative to Frances, imo. I've actually been thinking about Elanor Alice/Elinor Alice and I'm really liking that combo right now. Thanks for your help and I hope your SO comes round with the name Alice. =)

Even if he did, it would remain low on the list.I much prefer Hebrew names and he much prefers Catholic. :-D Alice would stick out like a sore thumb with Miriam, Judith, Magdalene, or even Ivy.

I love Alice so much. i think it will be perfect as a fn.

Fns are very hard and it always seems to flow better in the mn spot but I love a few of your suggestions. Scarlet Alice really stands out for me. Laoise is beautiful, as is Verity and Zenobia (although I prefer Zenovia slightly more. And you know I love Noa =). Ofelia's one of my favourite names but because the As sort of run together in Ofelia Alice, you got me thinking of the french alternative, Ophélie. WDYT of Ophélie? Thanks so much for your suggestions. =)

Ophélie Alice is lovely. It seems like it should be pronounced al-EES in that combo, though.

Ditto this!n

I see what you mean about the pronunciation of Alice; because Ophélie is French, it does seem like it should be pronounced al-EES. I never really thought about that. Thanks for pointing that out. =)

I've been thinking about Elanor as a fn which has the same sound but different meaning to Elinor, I guess. I love both! Elowen kinda reminds me of Eowyn which is a favourite of mine at the moment. Its very pretty =) I'm really liking fns Maeve, Naomi, Seren and Vivien. Great suggestions! Thank you very much =)
