babynamesSo uh, about three months ago I had another baby.
Mary-Alice Edith is a little sister for Philippa Jamie (nickname: Pippa or Pip). She is mostly called Mary-Alice, but sometimes just Mary, just Alice, or Mim (or Mad Madam Mim when she's cranky).
Mary Alice (no hyphen) was my grandmother's name, and my husband has aunts named Mary and Alice, so it's a family name on both sides. She was born on August 9th which is the feast day of St. Edith Stein, whom I admire.
We decided to use the hyphen because it makes it more obvious that her name is double barrelled, in contexts like school and so on.
The main runners-up were Josephine and Beatrice.
