I love
Alice, because it's so exotic. It's so storybook British. Nobody uses it where I live, I've never met an
Alice in my life. Not even an old lady
Alice! So it's irresistibly quaint and very strongly tied to the book character. I don't know what an equivalent would be.... Maybe something like
Pollyanna. Or Paddington. Or
Dracula.
Alice is adorable, one of my faves.
