I've always liked Alice, it's rarely seen in my area of the world; it's very "British". It's a lovely pale blue colour to my mind - Alice Blue, I suppose, though more from the Disney cartoon character than Roosevelt's daughter. I associate it with storybooks and a sort of Beatrix Potter aesthetic, so it's a little precious.

I've done a 180 on Alice, I think it's really lovely now.

I love both Alice and Alison - those spellings only. Could never use Alison - DH had a mentally challenged step-aunt who lived with them for years and was very trying - but Alice would have been seriously considered, given enough daughters.

I was at school with three cousins, all named Alice Marsephine for the same family reason: one went by Marsey. The other two, who had the same surname, didn't like the idea of having a name twin, so one of them went by Alice and the other did a merger and became Arline.

Alice is lovely

I like the name Alice. It is timeless and has a smooth, pleasant, and firm sound. The name first makes me think of Alice in Wonderland, and then the alias "Alice White" used by Parker in the show Leverage.

I think Alice is kind of boring.

I love both AiC and Alice! I had a student whose first and middle name was Layne Staley and I wondered how many people would know that the child was named after the lead singer of AiC.
