Names similar to Alice

I am 40 weeks with baby 2 (dd is Margot). Our boys name is sorted but no decision for a girl. We both like Alice but know several grown up ones so DH prefers not to use it.

any suggestions for alternatives?

Carys sounds very similar

we ruled out both Agnes and Edith on the basis of not choosing another name from Despicable Me…

Aphra
Elsbeth

Estella
Frances
Olwen
Astrid
Adela
Anna

Louise
Charlotte
Celeste
Marianne
Genevieve (said the French way)

might be others

I was going to say Eloise too.

People I know called Alice have sisters called:
Holly
Caitlyn
Madeline

I didn't think of the Despicable Me connection...No wonder they sound good together!
