Re: Alice
I love Alice. And I think it would be a nice way of honor your love for books.
I quite like your boys combo, it's handsome. And Paul is much better than Malcolm.
The only thing that bugs me a bit is that all your choices are very, very different from Miriam. It's hard even to imagine a sibling to Miriam being named Anne, Cecilia, Judith or Paul.

Interesting. I love Judith and Miriam because they are both very Hebrew.Anyway, I managed to survive being named Haven with siblings Christopher, Benjamin and Jessica. Now that's a mismatched sibling set!

Really?I feel like Miriam would fit perfectly with any of those. They are all retro, mature, conservative religious names. They totally work for me!

I guess Miriam might give people in the US a different feeling. To me Miriam isn't retro or conservative. I'd imagine her siblings being named stuff like Felicity, Emilia, Leonora, Sigrid, Julian, Isidore, August, Silas, Zacharias....

BTW I love August, Sigrid, Zacharias and Leonora (really love this) and Julian has been a contender. But my husband has nixed them all.

I can see it go either way. It's an old name, like a conservative version of Mary, so I can see it with other old names. OTOH, it's got trendy sounds in it, with the ee sounds, so I can see it with modern trendy names too.
