I prefer Alice too, but Alys or Alis isn't just a trendy spelling (I don't know if that's what you mean or not, but many people do seem to think so), it's the primary spelling in some languages. My parents only ever considered using Alys if my brother had been a girl, because my sister and I have Welsh names and it would have seemed odd for another child to have the English spelling.

I agree about it being grandparent-turned-hipster. I like it though.
