Ailís

This is one of the names that look much better than they sound.

---

Ailís looks beautiful, but it sounds like AY-lish (I cannot confirm the AY-leesh pronunciation that this site gives. I know several and they all say AY-lish) and AY-lish sounds like an adjective for something that is gross and slimy. Kind of like "Don't touch that eel, it's AY-lish".

---

I appreciate its history but the sound isn't nice, I much prefer Alice.

---

I have seen Ailish and Aylish as anglicizations which both look trendy and awful to me (Aylish is even worse than Ailish).

---

If you want to use it, stick with Ailís.

It looks really beautiful, but "AY-leesh" doesn't sound nice to me at all, a bit like "a leash".

I love this name. It's a very unique but acceptable take on the name Alice.

Ailis is a beautiful name. It reminds me of sky and clouds, and it's a much better variant, in my opinion, than common Alice.

It sounds a little incomplete to me, like there should be another syllable - I can't really say why. I like the way it looks better than the actual pronunciation.

I know a girl who has this name, but she spells it Eilish. I like this spelling better.

One word: GORGEOUS!
