[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting it confused with Alex is the least of your worries. It's such an old women's name. Makes me think of the housekeeper from the Brady Bunch. I don't get the appeal and I can see why a young Alice would want to be called Ali. [/quote]

That would be true if baby Alice only spends time with senior citizens.

[b]As it stands, the Brady bunch is by no means a universal reference for her mother's generation. To reliably find someone who even knows the name of the maid in the Brady bunch, she'd have to go all the way back to her grandmother's generation. [/b]Baby Alice's generation will have completely different associations with that name than you and your cohort. [/quote]

New poster here.   I am 41 and would definitely consider Brady Bunch to be a "universal reference" for my generation.   At 41 I am no where near ready to be a grandmother--and many of my peers are still having babies.   
So I think you are wrong about the Brady Bunch reference only applying to baby Alice's "grandmother's  generation."[/quote]

Sorry but I'm 30 and didn't watch Brady Bunch. My parents did (55+), so that would be the baby's grandparents. [/quote]

This is so true. I'm 33 and there was a question about the Brady bunch at trivia night a few months ago. Not one person Knew the answer! Also, just for reference, my 20 year old cousins don't even know Seinfeld references. Brady bunch is solidly in grandparent territory.
