Alice was a Top 20 darling for much of the early 20th century, her beauty and wonderful meaning “of nobility” giving her an air of sophistication. She’s appeared in the literary classic Alice in Wonderland, as well as the ultra-popular Twilight series, and is the name of many successful authors from Alice Hoffman to Alice Sebold. In addition, she’s appeared throughout history as poets, actresses, musicians, and more, all beloved for some form of art.

Each time a little royal is expected in the U.K, Alice is a top contender among girl names. She may not be as long and frilly as Elizabeth or Victoria, but little Alice holds her own among royalty.
Alice has an inescapable delicate nature, a name reminiscent of fine lace and porcelain dolls. A little one who’s all about polish, Alice loves her patent Mary Janes and dresses. She can often be found hosting elaborate brunches with her stuffed animal friends as well as painting with her favorite watercolor set.
