Pronunciation: AL-is, AL-iss (English), a-LEES (French), ah-LEE-che (Italian)
Gender: Female
Popular in France and England in the 12th Century I read on one site. When you see and hear this name you think of Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and 'Through the Looking Glass' (1871). This is an old fashioned name but still is beautiful and strong, fitting well in the modern age. It would be a good character name in a historical fiction novel but equally good for someone on a space ship in the future or as a character right now in the present. So what I am saying is this name ages well for both a character and fits in many genres and eras.
