Yeah, it was my grandmas name but it just seems too old for me. The mum told me the tale that she wanted Alice as her dd name (same as my dd) and all the way through she called her Alice, then her best friend who was pregnant went into labour, and she got a phone call saying her best friend had called her little girl Alice -- as she was in labour herself!!! So they went with Ethel. Safe to say they where no longer best friends. how horrible is that xx
