Alyse Gregory (July 19, 1884 Norwalk, Connecticut, United States – August 27, 1967 Morebath, Devon, England) was an American-British suffragist and writer. She found a position at a school for socialism, wrote for newspapers, then went to work for an organisation financed by the Carnegie Foundation, the aim of which was to help foreign communities preserve their culture and art.
It's definitely pronounced Uh-leese, and to anyone who claims there aren't any nicknames for it my cousin's name is Alyse and we called her Lysie (Lee-see like Lacey but with ee instead of a) or Leesel (we never had to write it but it's like Liesle with more of an s sound than the z type sound Liesle usually has). I love this name I think it's adorable on a little girl without being too cutesie to work for an adult.

My name actually is Alyse, and it is pernounced uh-leese. My mother always told me it was a form of Alice, so this is right when it comes to that. I completely understand what it is like to have people calling you other names like Alys, Alice, Alicia, Allyssa, Elise, Elyse, Allison, pronounce it Ay-Leese. All of that. I personally have always loved my name because I think it is good for everyone to be unique.
My daughter's name is Haley Alyse. When I was in school I knew a girl with the middle name Alyse and I have always loved it and thought of this name as beautiful, soft and feminine. It is pronounced Uh-Leese. I was surprised to see it attached to Alice because over the past several months I have taken more interest in names and on my name board (full of naming enthusiasts) they always associate it with Elise. Another variation is Elyse. In any event it is a lovely name. Blessings.
This is my name. When I was younger I hated it because there are no nicknames that stick & people were always calling me Alyssa, Alice, Elice. But now I love it, I love how original it is and I get compliments all the time.
