Alice seems kind of old lady to me. However, all of your choices are far, far better than many of the trendy pretentious boy for girl names that are so popular around here.
I have a feeling Alice is going to get popular too. I know it's very old lady, but everyone said that about my son's name (that it was an old man's name) and now it's in the top 100.
Gemma - ok if you're British - otherwise she would get a lot of "huh's?"
Frances - to me it's an old lady name and it sounds like the guy's version (Francis)
Celia - pretty
Georgia - pretty
Ivy - I'd always think poison ivy
Isla - trendy
3 IUI's and 2 IVF's later- Brady arrived. Born at 36 weeks after PUPPS and pre-e/HELLP.
IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again
Eliza - First association is Eliza Doolittle from "My Fair Lady." I think it's cute, though.
Alice - First association is Alice in Wonderland, especially with the new movie out I think a lot of people will think of that. I always picture someone kind of prissy.
Gemma - First association is Gemma Ward. It's an unusual enough name that you might get some weird looks, but I don't think it's necessarily bad.
Frances - I like the name Frances... it's a family name for us, but I couldn't convince DH to put it on our 'short list' for a middle name because it can be used for either gender (Frances/Francis).
Celia - Not a fan of it. I always picture a kind of chubby, cranky old lady (I have no idea why!)
Georgia - First association is of the state... I think you'd get a lot of references to peaches. I'm personally not a fan.
Ivy - First association is the plant. I think it'd be one of those names that would be really cute for a little girl/baby, but not so fitting for an professional career as an adult.
Isla - I think of Island whenever I see the name Isla... it's definitely unique, but not one that I would pick.

First of all, your names are GORGEOUS - congrats on the great taste!
Eliza - beautiful, classy name..
Alice - so cute...Tina Fey named her daughter Alice which makes me love it more!
Gemma - very british sounding... normally love British names but not a fan of this one.
Frances - super cute, especially if you nickname her Frannie
Celia - was one of my top names, love love love. However my hubby pointed out that it made him think of 'cillia' - those tiny hairy things (think science)
Georgia - overrated in my opinion
Ivy - would have been a top contender but I went and named the family dog Ivy so it's a bit of a no go now! Love Ivy though.
Isla - gorgeous british name. Decided against it though due to the complicated spelling of our last name. Isla works better if your last name is a bit common and you want to add some flare.
Re: would love opinions on these girl names
Eliza, Isla and Celia very nice.
Georgia and Ivy, okay
Gemma, Frances NMS

Great names.. my favs are Alice & Isla and least fav's are Eliza and Gemma
IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again
I like them all, but my favorite is Celia. That was going to be my son's name if he were a girl.
My least favorite is Isla.
Alice - First association is Alice in Wonderland, especially with the new movie out I think a lot of people will think of that. I always picture someone kind of prissy.
Gemma - First association is Gemma Ward. It's an unusual enough name that you might get some weird looks, but I don't think it's necessarily bad.

Isla - I think of Island whenever I see the name Isla... it's definitely unique, but not one that I would pick.
I feel the same way about the Alice in Wonderland thing....
Alice and Frances are family names, so we could always use them as middle names.
Eliza, Cecily, and Isla re cute... The others are NMS.
I like Alice, Celia, and Gemma.
I'm biased, though, because Gemma is my middle name.

Like Alice, Georgia and Celia.
Dislike Gemma, Eliza, Frances
Ivy is ok.
LOVE: Eliza, Alice, Frances, Georgia!!
The others are good, but I don't love them like the others (my fave: Frances, but DW said no)

Hope that helps!
I like Alice!
Eliza, eh
Gemma, ick
Frances, I know a few older men named this
Celia, I have always thought this sounds like a nn for Cecilia
Georgia is a state and that is something I really hate
Ivy, itchy
Isla, trendy and everytime I see it I want to say is-lu...so I bet it is mispronounced a lot.
Eliza, Ivy and Isla are pretty
Alice, Gemma, Frances, Celia and Georgia are NMS
Eliza - very cute & classic. Suitable for little girl and professional woman.
Alice - same. Love it even more after reading the book 'Still Alice'
Gemma - hate it.
Frances - know it's becoming popular but still not my style. Too dowdy.
Celia -adorable but sounds a bit like 'Cillia'
Georgia - also not my style
Ivy - LOVE
Isla - Also LOVE
