I wouldn't use Alice and Adele on sisters, as they're both forms of Adelaide. The other names are nice with Alice, but my favorite is easily Claire. Claire and Alice are absolutely GORGEOUS together. I also really like Nora (though I prefer it as a nickname), Katharine and Susannah with Alice (and Leah separately, but Alice and Leah is a bit of a tongue twister).

Top 5 combos:
Alice Nimue -This is just really cool. Nimue is probably not usable in real life, but I like it a lot and Alice sounds great with it.
Alice Olivia -Very girly, but in a sophisticated way instead of a cutesy way.
Alice Jasmine -I love Jasmine, but it's kind of downmarket as a first name. In the middle it works great.
Alice Hope -Simple, classy, and beautiful.
Alice Leontine -I normally don't really care for Leontine, but this is an awesome combo.

Bottom 5 combos:
Alice Olwen -The Al- Ol- repetition sounds awful to me, and Olwen is irredeemably masculine-seeming IMO.
Alice Electra -Electra has such awful associations, and the Al- El- has the same problem as Alice Olwen.
Alice Elaine -Again with the Al- El-, and Elaine is so very dated.
Alice Cosette -Cosette is terrible. It's not even a real name! It's like naming your child "Little Thing."
Alice Nadezhda -Really spectacular style clash here.
