I had an aunt
in reply to a message by lawruh
named Margaret Alice, went by Alice, who was a lovely, vivacious woman. She died young of breast cancer. My sister subsequently named her first daughter Katherine Alice (for our mother, her MIL, and our beloved late Aunt Alice). So I have lots of warm fuzzy feelings for this name. I might prefer the spelling Alais if I were intending for "sophisticated" to be the inference.
