Alice

Alice is a classic feminine name of French and German origin. It's a shortened form of Adalheidis, a Germanic title meaning "nobleness" or "nobility." Popularized by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Disney film it inspired, Alice has been a beloved contender on the naming charts since the late 19th century. Within its meanings, your little one may find encouragement to show kindness, listen to others, and give generously of their time. Opinions in The Bump community are somewhat split on whether Alice should be shortened to Allie or Ali. If you're also wondering, this advice from The Bump user tct1219 could be helpful: "I love Alice and wouldn't use a nickname, especially since Allie and Ali are also two syllables. If you really want a nickname, though, Allie works."
