Alice gmv
Alice -- I've loved this name since Alice in Wonderland as a kid. Adore it.
Eloise -- Reminds me of the children's book. I don't particularly care for the "eeze" sound. I like the way it looks, but it's not one I'm fond of.
Phoebe -- It's ok.
Sylvie -- Could rapidly grow on me I think. It's nice.

Alice -Gorgeous! Wonderful name, and so underused.
Eloise -I really dislike this. I can't see it on an adult at all, and it sounds whiny to me. Sorry!
Phebe / Phoebe -I loathe Phoebe, and Phebe is infintely worse.
Sylvie -Cute, but to the point of being cutesy. It's better as a nickname IMO.
Juliet, Isabella and Alice is a gorgeous sibest. Juliet, Isabella, and Sylvie is also nice.

Alice - Wonderful, pretty, and delightfully usable. I really lov all aspects of this name.
Eloise - Lovely. I just love to say this name out loud. It's very melodic, and it looks nice written down.
Phoebe/Phebe - I love everything about Phoebe, but I dislike Phebe because it just looks like Phoebe misspelt.
Sylvie - I didn't like this name for the longest time, but lately it's really began to appeal to me. So I like it, quite a lot.
Out of these names, Alice , Eloise, and Phoebe would sound best with Juliet and Isabella.

Alice- prefer Alyssa or Alicia
Eloise- Lovely, yet too cat-like
Phebe / Phoebe- Phoebe's gorgeous, and Biblical
Sylvie- pretty, but prefer Silvia/ Sylvia
I think Phoebe goes the best w/ that sibset.

Alice -- My grandmother's name, so I'm biased. I've always thought this was an underrated name and I'm glad to see a renewed interest in it. My grandfather called her Alsie, by the way.
Eloise -- So cute! That little character from the children's books made me love the name. I saw a young Eloise once and it tickled me so much I still remember her. A very darling name.
Phoebe -- This spelling only. I want to like this name because it fits my style. But I can't shake the "buzzing bee" affect it has on me. Strangely, it's the best mn I've ever found to one of my guilty pleasures: Ursula Phoebe.
Sylvie -- I fell in love with this name in high school French class. I love that Sylvie, and to a lesser extent Sylvia, are catching on. It's so bright and breezy sounding.

I simply adore all of these! Phoebe is my favorite right now but I love all of them! Do you really like the spelling Phebe? I've been considering this because it's been used in so many place, in the Bible's New Testament, on my family tree, and now I'm reading a book by Louisa May Alcott and that's the way she spells it too! I can't decide which way I like better.
I think any of these would go very nicely with Juliet & Isabella! I think I do like Alice or Sylvie a bit better with them but Eloise and Phoebe / Phebe are so nice too! :)
One thought, I think Eloise makes a better middle name like what about Sylvie Eloise, Alice Eloise, or Phebe Eloise? :)

If I were tiny, just like you,
I'd dance among the flowers too!

Actually, after reading your posts about Phebe, it's growing on me. I like that spelling because so many pronounce Phoebe, Foe-bee. And I very much dislike that. It's also in Shakespeare's works which I adore (as you can tell with Juliet & Isabella ;))
Alice & Sylvie are my favorites too out of the four. I've actually am really liking Sylvie but I dislike Sylvia. I really like Sylvie Eloise. Alice would be Alice Matilda.

Yes, see there's another instance where the spelling Phebe was used in classic literature, and what better guide do we have to see what names were used than literature and history? I am so close to believing that Phebe was the original spelling but I can't yet explain how the O could be added in there, but perhaps it is just our way with English to make things difficult that could be so simple! :)
Alice Matilda is very sweet! What are your middle names for Juliet and Isabella?

Alice - Lovely traditional name but doesnt quite fit with Juliet and Isabella, its a little plainer than them if you know what I mean
Eloise - The best of the lot and would go well with Juliet and Isabella
Phebe / Phoebe - Okay this is one of those names that I like one minute then dont the next
Sylvie - Pretty but Sylvia would go better
Eloise - The best of the lot and would go well with Juliet and Isabella

Sylvie - Pretty but Sylvia would go better

I think Sylvia, rather than Sylvie, would work best with Juliet and Isabella. Sylvie would be a cute nn for Sylvia. I really dislike the spelling Phebe, but LOVE LOVE LOVE Phoebe. It just doesn't seem to go with your other two names. Eloise is nice, but not a favorite. Alice is just boring to me, but it is a perfectly nice name.
