I like this name because our beloved cat was named Alice. We had her for almost 20 years. She was a stray so we began calling her Alley Cat but that quickly became Alice somehow. I have also met wonderful people with this name--Alices always seem friendly.

Now that I'm an adult, I love being named Alice. (When I was a kid, I hated having such an unusual name.) I do get called Alison a LOT because people can't beli've that anyone would just be named Alice. I hated it in Spanish classes when my teache's would always call me Alicia. (Mi nombre es Alice!) I like my name just the way it is, although my husband sometimes calls me Ali as an endearment, and that's okay.
My name is Alice and I am 11 years old!!!. I was named after my great-grandmother.
My name is Alice. I think people expect to see an old woman get up when I'm called in a waiting room. Starbucks employee tend to write "Alex" on the cup, instead, probably because they don't meet too many young girls with the name. Still I like it, I'm usually the only one & I love a good classic.

My name is Alice and I honestly would not change it for the world. I'm nearly 19 and I think the name'suits all ages. I used to get called Alice in Wonderland all the time too but I don't see how that is in any way offensive anyway, It's a classic story

My name is Alcie and at first i hated it, i thought it was really boring and people constantly calling me "Alice in Wonderland" was less than amusing!!
