[Opinions] Alice
First of all, I really like the Irish form of Alice which is Ailís, pronounced AY-lish. Do you like it? Is it usable (if you haven't replied to my previous thread).
Then the spellings of Ailish and Aylish have really grown on me, which do you prefer? Do they look stupid and misspelled or fine? (I worry a bit even though I like them). Would you choose Ailís, Ailish or Aylish?
And Alice :) I love the name. What do you think of it? Are you surprised it is not more popular?

I love the name Alice, have for years. It makes me think of Alice in Wonderland and the maid from The Brady Bunch, both fine imo! I am surprised it’s not more common, as it seems to fit that older, sweet style of names that has gained popularity. But here in Australia, it’s not as big of a trend as other places.
Ailis is alright, if you’re Irish, but would seem a little strange for others to use. I think I prefer Ailish and like that the most.

I prefer Alice. The other reminds me too much of the word eyelash.
I prefer Alice to Ailís, I don't really like the SH sound.
I think Ailís is usable, for an Irish spelling of a name it is actually pretty intuitive. I think Ailís is the best spelling, but if I had to choose one of the other spellings Ailish is better than Aylish which just looks made up. I don't think it would be that hard to get people to pronounce Ailís correctly.
