[Opinions] Re: Alice
Anne Cecilia Alice is beyond darling. Not so much of a fan of Judith, it's just a name I've never been able to get behind. Nothing horrendous about it, though. How are you pronouncing Gawain? I do medieval lit as part of my degree and I hear at least three pronunciations of it from the lecturers.

I've got a friend who pronounces it GAH-win, but agreed, have heard multiple different pronunciations from history & English professors. One fully admits he doesn't know how to pronounce it but says Gah-WANE because it rhymes with more things.
