Not a huge fan, seems like Alice trying to be more modern… also reminds me of Alyx (variant of Alex). Don’t like the y.
Alys. Hmm, this name is interesting and mysterious. I like it. I also like the name Alyss.

It's not trashy. A name being different does not make it trashy or unworthy. I think that it's an interesting alternative to Alice, which is rather common.
Also an archaic Cornish variant of Alis: http://www.st-keverne.com/history/records/bapt_1580-1699.php
A trashy spelling mistake. Stick to Alice.
This is a pretty name and I prefer it to Alice.
The name Alys was given to 17 girls in the US in 2017.
I dislike this name, it's unbalanced and it looks like a big spelling mistake.
One of the main characters of LJ Smith's The Night of the Solstice (1987) was named Alys.
I think some commenters have gotten the idea that this is a cre8tive spelling of Alice. Actually, both have been historically used. This is a Welsh variant and I think it's lovely.
This name isn't as modern or trendy as the spelling might suggest. Famous bearers include Alys of France, Countess of the Vexin (1160 – c. 1220), Canadian singer Alys Robi (1923-2011), and British TV presenter Alys Fowler (born 1978).
I much prefer this spelling to the more commonplace 'Alice.' I think it looks prettier for some reason. Lovely name spelt either way!
I agree with a previous comment - this is the modern Welsh form of Alice, deriving from Alis. My Welsh cousin bears this name.
This is my middle name and I love it. I think it is more creative than Alice and is really unique. Teachers have always, always spelled my name Alice. It gets to be a drag!
Alys Pearsall Smith (1867-1951), from Philadelphia, was the first wife of renowned British philosopher Bertrand Russell (Earl Russell) (1872-1970).
I think this is an adorable version of Alice - more balanced and without the "lice" element that makes me think of woodlice!
I agree, it gives the impression that the parents didn't pay too much attention in grade school English classes.
The spelling doesn't look very intelligent.
This is also the Welsh form of Alice.
Name of the main character in Vivian Vande Velde's novel, Dragon's Bait.
