I would have pronounced it al-leeze to rhyme with breeze.

Alice is far nicer imo

I love it.

Love this spelling. Much nicer than Alice, which I find rather prim.

It looks beautiful. Like it.

I think it is welsh but a wide range of people seem to have had it historically from English to Pakistani

What's wrong with Alice?

DramaAlpaca · 16/06/2013 19:47

It's the Welsh version isn't it?

I like it. I think it is pronounced the same way.

derektheladyhamster · 16/06/2013 19:46

I always liked this version.

Pretentious. Stick to Alice.
