HelpRe: Help me like Alice, please.

Robert Graves's poem 'Alice' is too long to post here, but it;s just a Google away and I do recommend it. And if it doesn't have you enthusing about Carroll's Alice, then nothing will. I hope it does!
I named a cat Alice, knowing that I'd never have enough daughters for all the names I love and also that Alice and Beatrice would be too close for sisters. Fine cat, fine name, in my view.
I'm not British either, though it seems I sound as if I am; the pronunciation of Alicia that I'm familiar with in South Africa is a-LISH-a, which I prefer for its brevity but wouldn't use, preferring the real thing to the Latinoid.
