Alice.

Please don't condemn your daughter to a lifetime of correcting people.

I don’t know, my name is Welsh and my 45 years of explaining it to people it has led to some very interesting conversations, particularly about Welsh history.

Speaking of names, I drove through Eryri earlier today!

Alys is more commonly associated with Wales and France, so unless the other two names have similar associations it might look a bit odd. So Alice in that case. Or Alys Catrin… we don’t have a Welsh version of Victoria as it’s Latin.

Alice! Never Alys that's daft and she'll spend her life correcting people, who'll internally be rolling their eyes!

Ummm. Unless she’s using the Welsh spelling.

I think they are both nice names, but I am not at all familiar with the Alys-spelling. I am not from the UK, though. Is it pronounced similarly to Alice?
