[Opinions] Alice and Eunice?
Do you think a good little sister name to Alice could be Eunice? Asking for a friend.

I love Eunice and think it deserves more affection these days, and I find it quite charming alongside (though quite similar to) Alice.

I love both of these names, but I do think they sound too similar. Despite that, I don’t think it should be too much of an issue. Alice has become more common, but it will always have past, historical associations. I think that Eunice fits right in, since it’s also an old-fashioned name. A very uncommon, unique one at that!

A lot depends on how you pronounce Eunice. YOUniss would be too rhymey with Alice; youNEEsee would be OK if you like the sound and the look of it. And then there's YOUnisee, though I've never met one.

They are too similar sounding.

No, Eunice is way too dated

They do suit each other, I think they are a nice duo. If someone wants a "theme" then having similar endings of names is one that doesn't often get used! It's kind of refreshing, in a very old fashioned way.

No. They're weirdly matchy-matchy, and while Alice is now in fashion again, Eunice hasn't been in generations and isn't likely to be. Together they make me think of two bad-tempered old ladies squabbling about the leaves that blow into their yards from each other's side.

I don't think they are similar in sound, but I think Alice is timeless albeit plain in comparison to Eunice which is very religious and dated (but than dated names are in fashion..). Neither are my style.
